What an Author Should Expect

As I started to type a new post about reviews and how authors should look at them like cheese, but with what’s going on in the m/m community, I just couldn’t make light-hearted post. I am probably going to get a lot of people who hate me after this-both authors and readers, but I just […]

New Editions of Shattered Glass

Today I uploaded new copies of Shattered Glass to Allromanceebooks.com. Those editions are there now. By Sunday afternoon there should be a new edition up on Amazon as well (they take longer to fix a new edition). I hope these editions fix some of the formatting issues as well as most of the editing problems. […]

Shattered Glass and Not So Innocent Original Cover Art

Back to cover talk (because I’m obsessed with book covers). I thought I’d share some work I had originally commissioned for the covers of my books. The first drawing was the original cover for Shattered Glass (which had the title of “Just Kiss Me”, but as I got more into the story, the title wasn’t […]

Giveaway!

I’ve never held a contest before, so bear with me! =D Actually, it’s more giveaway than contest, but who cares, free stuff! I love to read. I cannot tell you how many books I have and how many more I want (the latter being incalculable). So I wanted to give away books as well as […]

Shattered Glass Number 1 – Contest to come!

At the end of January, as I was getting ready to upload Shattered Glass, I told my s/o that, while I thought I was putting a good book out there, I probably would only sell about ten copies. And five of those would be to my friends and his family. Not only was I writing […]

Four Weddings and a Funeral – Why so forgotten?

In 1994, ten years exactly after a sitting president mentioned the word AIDS for the first time, and eleven years after I lost my first friend to it, I saw the second movie depicting a life-long, monogamous gay relationship in a positive light. The first one was Philadelphia. A movie which, for me, had such […]

Cover Art

Over at the slash-pile we do a lot of livestreaming of artists doing various work. A few weeks ago I did one to show photomanipulation and how grueling and intricate it can be. I spend way too much time learning how to create covers. Ideally I would be as talented as Anne Cain or Nathie(nathie.deviantart.com) […]

Dear RWA

Dear Romance Writers of America, Here I am with my wallet in hand. I’m standing outside your door. I’m ready to write a check. I want to join you. I’ve wanted to join you since I was a teenager and wrote my first romance novel. I pledge to you my yearly fees, right here, right […]

A review is in!

I know. I know. I promised not to respond to any reviews. But… does my husband’s count? “That was really good, babe. But there was too much romance.” – Dani’s husband. Really. That should be on the blurb, right?

An Open Letter to Reviewers and Readers

Dear Reviewers, Here’s the problem with self-publishing: I’ll get lumped in crap piles of well, CRAP. Crappy authors doing crappy crap and crapping in my yard on top of my book. This is definitely not all self-pubbed authors. But lately, all I see is crappy authors doing crappy things and crapp… you get my point. […]
