Forever in One Second due out January 10th, has received a couple nice reviews lately (thank-you!) and here are the links if you want to check them out:

But while there's good news, there's bad - I've been pirated.  Already!  Sheesh, the book hasn't been released yet and already I have to go a'huntin'.  Not that this is anything new, just wasn't expecting this so soon.  I want to say to book pirates:  I hope you really liked that book, because it might be the last one of mine you get to read.  Why?  Simple - my publisher is in this to make money and if my writing does not support all their time and effort, the encouragement, the editing, the cover artists, the promotional work they do on my behalf, well, then...you get the picture (I hope).  So if you like my books...buy them!

Because the only good pirate is...Johnny Depp.

Happy Holidays

I'm finally settled in the new house, and after much chaos, have found all the important stuff, like the Christmas tree, all the TV and Playstation remotes and the dog and cat toys.  Can't find my socks, my best photo printer/scanner or the winter clothes, but hey...maybe Santa will replace those at Christmas...please.

Now that I'm a bit organized, I've added a new page for excerpts, above, specifically a scene from Forever in One Second, releasing on January 10, 2012 - and it's already received a great review from Literary
Nymphs - here's the link: http://literarynymphsreviewsonly.blogspot.com/2011/12/forever-in-one-second.html?zx=9e387c927aca4cd8 (and yes, reviews freak me out, even the good ones!)

So now I'm out of excuses, it's time to get writing again!  Over the next while I'm going to finish A Trick of the Light, the next book in my werewolf/shifter world, and following the events in A Thread of Deepest Black, and maybe complete a couple other projects that have been on the go for a while:  Marksman (a contemporary m/m) and Heaven and Guile (a contemporary m/m ghost story).

Merry Christmas everyone!

Homeless!

It's true - you don't really appreciate things until you no longer have them.

For me, its a home of my own.  I recently sold my house, uprooted my life, and my kids' lives, and moved 6 hours away, back to my hometown.  While it's great to be back, I'm staying with family until my house purchase goes through November 30th, and I can't find a damn thing.  If its not in storage, it's buried or has been purloined by the dog.  He has a thing for everyone's socks...

Mostly, I miss my computer.  I can't write (except in my head) and can't post an excerpt for Forever in One Second, because I'm using someone else's laptop and we don't get along.  I recently gave my own book one star on Goodreads, inadvertently, of course, so I try to avoid doing anything important right now, God knows what might happen!

As soon as I can, I'll post an excerpt here.  Also dying to work on A Trick of the Light - I miss my werewolves.  I miss the scheming.  The deception.  Hey - everyone's gotta have a hobby!
