Update Three!
It’s May 1st and there’s snow outside. . Onto what you’re really wanting to know! How’s NSI going. Kinda awesomely! I’m working on the last few chapters which had to be extensively rewritten and a few extra scenes my beta recommended. So we’re in the home stretch. No dates yet, sorry, I won’t know that […]
It’s UPDATE day!
It’s been *checks other post* about a month since my last update and I figured that’s about right for a new one. I might do more updates sooner, but I’ll try not to make them longer. I do have news and it’s good, better and meh, depending on your outlook =D To those who loved […]
The Revision Process: Where the Manuscript Tells You to Go Fuck Yourself
This is the update post, because…stuff and dates. It’s Monday and my brain’s been on vacation for two days while I updated the site and created a new logo and basically gave my manuscript the finger because it’s being an ass. That sounds like bad news, but it’s not (I explain why later) =D. Well, […]

Poll Results Are In!
See you Sunday! (or sooner!)
Danibble Poll!
Vote! (When I get this poll thing working!)
Monday Danibble
Mondays are the worst, aren’t they? Well, I dunno if this will make yours better. Monday Danibbles (see below for a definition). (maybe we can get other authors involved too?) First, let’s start with a definition of ‘drabble’. “A drabble is an extremely short work of fiction of exactly one hundred words in length, not necessarily including the […]
Kick Start by Josh Lanyon!
DO NOT ADJUST YOUR DIAL …. (or in computer parlance) DO NOT REBOOT YOUR PC … IN A BREAK FROM NORMAL TRANSMISSION … THE FANYONS HAVE TAKEN OVER … To celebrate the release of Kick Start, Book 5 in the Dangerous Ground series by Josh Lanyon, the Fanyons have taken to the interwebz and commandeered […]
Fun Stuff to Tell You!
Today I get to report the fun stuff! \o/ Let’s start with this: Sara Alva is giving away free stuff! Paperbacks and AND this amazing finger painted picture off an incredible artist in LA AND postcards. Go check that out at this link. My update for you all: I may […]
It’s OVER!
This was the scene today: The empty bag of the last poison going into my system! That’s right people. CHEMO HAS ENDED. Now I just need to get through my next three weeks of symptoms and I’m FREE, BABY. FREE! No more CHEMOBRAIN. \o/ So after my three weeks are over, […]
Bi The Way-An Interview with Santino Hassel
Santino Hassell, better known as part of the dynamic duo of Ais & Sonny—writers of In The Company of Shadows, has a new book out. Not to be a spoilersport(this is your first and only warning that I make up words =P), but one of the characters isn’t gay. He isn’t straight either. Technically he […]
If you were worried I’d lose my sense of humor
Don’t be! I was sitting here doing everything but writing on my IPAD and, slacker that I am, thought I’d take pictures of my room. Because I probably find weird things funny. Like, my chemo treatment is the color of cherry kool-aid: And, not so coincidentally, so is my pee (no pic of that…unless requested. […]
Oh, Look, Another Update *flees*
I’ll start off this post by saying two things (one thing is a list of rules, so I’m not sure it technically counts as two things–but I’m going with two). First of all, I’m wearing a full sumo-wrestling bodysuit, so your pitchforks shall not penetrate. Any other way you want to penetrate, we’ll talk… Secondly, […]
Updates and Stuff
I’ve been getting a constant stream of emails (and vague, but semi-hilarious death threats, on where I am in NSI and how soon we can expect it. I thought I’d give a little update and, I dunno, dash hopes or give hope? Not sure which this is going to do. I’m sure you’ll tell me […]
Happy Holidays <3
By Leaps and Bounds We Move Forward
Yes, I do mean our election in the USA–gay marriage, gay congress members, gay senate members(OMG I’m proud of my country!)–but I also mean the LGBT-reading community. I’m going to write a very short post because I’m in full-on workmode with NSI, but this is a post that needs to be written. Last year, the […]
Say no to Doxxing
I’m going to make this really short and sweet. Remember when The Site That Shall Not Be Named started posting personal information about reviewers, including their pictures etc? That’s called Doxxing. It’s a way of outing people online and bullying them. The mother of all doxxing came this weekend on Gawker’s website in the form […]

The Interview with the Cover Model We All Love: Francis J Cura
Today I’m hosting an interview I had with Francis J Cura. You’ll recognize him from both Chris’s stumblingoverchaos blog (check out the naughty santa section for covers) and many of the covers of various novels. I’d call him the Fabio of this decade, but he’s way more than a gorgeous face and stunning physique. Mr. […]
Not So Innocent
Coming Soon Fresh out of The Academy, FBI Agent Riley Cordova is assigned to protect the infamous ‘Baby Capone’, son and murderer of one of Florida’s most notorious mobsters. But Nikolaj Strakosha isn’t at all what he expects. Sixteen, charming and whip-smart, Nikolaj is instantly loveable—in a brotherly way. Over the course of two years, […]
Dear Haters
6$? Guess marriage equality means more to me. I spent $50 bucks at Amazon today and Freedom To Marry also got a donation!
My Rapist, My Love Interest–Guest Post by Author Isa K
“About three quarters of the way into the story I started to realize there was a problem. The MC wasn’t going to end up with the right man.” This was my trusted publisher’s reaction to Guttersnipe when I sent it to her. It floored me, mostly because “Mr. Right” in this particular situation had spent […]
It’s Friday the 13th of July and I Have Bad News
There is no delicate way to say this, so I’ll be hiding under my desk after you read it. I just threw out my entire progress on Not So Innocent. 60k words and I couldn’t do it. This, ultimately, means that I have to push back the date of release. But it also means that […]
Gay Sites You Might Not Know
I follow more than my fair share of gay blogs/sites. I thought some of you might be interested to know about the ones I read regularly and enjoy. =) I have left some sites out, but mostly because they’re so widely known. This is about sites you might not know about! Unless otherwise stated, the […]
Going Beyond the Cliché
I stopped reading romance novels when I was fifteen. The heroines were boring me and there wasn’t enough about the men. Now I can look back and realize that I wasn’t identifying because the male POV was so underrepresented. When that started to change, I got back into romance. Then I found slash—TWO male POV’s. […]
