It’s been way too long since I’ve posted here. It’s been way too long since I’ve been working on writing projects too. Time got away from me as I started training more for the September Braking the Cycle ride, which benefits the HIV/AIDS services and the LGBT Center in NYC (you can read more about [...]
I had a geeky moment this afternoon. While Will and I were out running errands, he took me into our neighborhood Borders (at 100 Broadway) and showed me the six copies of Nerdvana in the LGBT section. It was very exciting to see a book with a story of mine on the shelf and so [...]
Since June, once I knew the results of the Delacorte contest, I’ve been working to revise Neutral Zone. Some of this work is pretty straight forward since it’s about restoring scenes I removed to make the competition length requirements. The rest hasn’t been so cut and dried. I’ve been adding in more scenic elements becuase [...]

Delays, Piracy, Editing…and More
A few things to talk about on the writing front today: For some reason, Nerdvana hasn’t come out yet. It was listed on Amazon and other sites as releasing on November 17, but it remains in pre-order state. I don’t know why that is. As soon as it becomes available, I’ll certainly write about it [...]
Over the next two weeks, I’ve got two stories coming out: On November 17, Nerdvana (edited by Fred Towers / StarBooks Press / ISBN: 1934187577) hits book stores with my story “The Adventures of Jake #1.” I’m looking forward getting this book, not only to see my own story in print, but to read what [...]
A great way to start November: In the November Dreamspinner Press Newsletter, just out this afternoon, “Rivals” is listed as “Coming This Month.” That’s exciting!
I got my galley proof for the short story “Rivals” this week and did a couple corrections on it. If everything stays on track it’ll be released the week of Thanksgiving, which is appropriate since the story’s first scene is the day before Thanksgiving.
The release of the short story “Rivals” gets closer every day and it’s been exciting watching the publication process at work. Unlike Nerdvana, for which I submitted the story, found out I was in, signed the contract and sat back and waited for the book to publish, the process for “Rivals” has found me much [...]

“Rivals” Accepted
Good news on the acceptance front yesterday. I submitted “Rivals” on Tuesday and on Friday I had a contract in my inbox. It was not, however, accepted for Christmas Dreams – Mistletoe Madness (the 2009 Advent Calendar). Instead, Dreamspinner Press plans to publish it as a stand alone short story, which they do quite often. [...]
