Guess what? I just heard from Etopia Press today that my new LGBT contemporary romance, Fire Balls, will be released February 3!
Yes, that would be in three weeks. I’m excited. This book has been a smooth pleasure. Once the characters, my flamboyant artist and my hot but conservative firefighter, told me who they were, the story flowed. I presented it to Etopia and they said yes in a few days. My brilliant editor,Thalia Childs, made great suggestions for minor changes and cleaned up my many punctuation errors and, bingo, the book was ready for February rather than April as originally planned. No cover yet, but i’m holding my breath!
Fire Balls takes place in the same beach community as the LGBT bestseller, Volley Balls. Here’s a little blurb:
 |
Rodney Mansfield is tiny, flamboyant and, oh yeah, a black belt in karate. He is also one of southern California’s greatest artists. Too bad the work of art he really wants is firefighter, Hunter Fallon. But the gorgeous “straight gay” guy could never want the Runtback of Notre Dame, so when Rodney’s handsome, surfer friend, Jerry, develops an unexpected passion for the beautiful firefighter, Rodney breaks his own heart by helping Jerry land his man. And then Rod makes it worse by embarrassing Hunter when he protects him from a firehouse bully. Hunter hates gay guys like Rodney – doesn’t he? Then why can’t he get the powerful pipsqueak’s face out of his mind… and cock out of his ass? And why does he risk his job and his life to rescue Rod from a burning building? Isn’t it time for him to admit he’s not an alpha male after all and that he is the property of the artist?
I’ll be keeping you up to date on this release over the next few weeks and then it will be in your hands. There will be a Blog Tour beginning on February 3, so get ready to play! Thank you for visiting the blog! : )
