Hi all–

What a fun week. I received a contract for my new gay romance, Snow Balls. The new novel in the Balls to the Wall Series comes out in time for the holidays. I’m having a blast writing it. I’m bringing together a big hunk of a guy who is secretly a creampuff and a tough cop. It’s a fun combo. Snow Balls is coming from Etopia Press.

I also signed a contract with Etopia for a Halloween short story called Trex or Treat. Watch for a bunch of great, erotic short stories coming out in time for the spooky holiday from Etopia. Here’s a blurb–

Josh Harris doesn’t have time to be gay. A busy college professor and devoted single-dad, Josh tries to be happy with only his son for company. But then Bradley “Trex” Trexler moves in across the street with his step-brother, Bogo, and sets up his house for Halloween. Josh’s son Ernie can’t wait to go, so Josh dresses up like a movie cowboy and saunters over. But at the end of a long, dark hall he meets another sharpshooter — with a bead on Josh. One trip blindfolded into the dark house of horrors changes his view of the world. And the “adult” party Trex has planned in the bounce room puts an end to Josh’s life-as-usual. Maybe this Halloween Josh can have Trex and treats.

Also this week, i received word that two workshop proposals we submitted to the  RT Conference (May, Kansas City) have been accepted. One is a delightful reader event called Pimp Your Badge. We provide the glue, glitter and prizes, as readers come in and decorate their badges for the conference.

Most significant, a workshop i’ll be doing with Belinda McBride, ZA Maxfield, Amy Lane and Damon Suede called Man Oh Man: Why Women Love Male/Male Romance was also accepted. This is a milestone since RT has not traditionally done workshops on LGBT fiction.We are all thrilled!

So this is a happy dancin’ week. But i have to knuckle down because there is writing to do, editing to do and  a blog tour to plan for Brush with Catastrophe, coming Oct 30th!  Talk soon. Follow the blog if you have a mind and thank you for stopping by.
