Friday Reading Day - Jackalopes and Woofen-Poofs (Arrival)

9/29/2017

Hooray for a Friday that finally feels like fall! Today's reading is from Offbeat Crimes 5, which has it's general release next Tuesday - October 3. All the linkages below :)

​All Animal Control Officer Jason Shen ever wanted was a quiet life of rescuing lost kittens and helping animals in need. Having a paranormal cop boyfriend guarantees an end to the quiet part. What at first seems like a random encounter with jackalopes in the park might be more than chance and when State Paranormal sends a handsome, charming vampire to consult with the Seventy-Seventh, he finds his relationship with Alex on shaky ground.

Officer Alex Wolf hoped his humaning skills were improving but now he can’t unravel the strange politics at State Paranormal or why Jason’s family seems to hate him. There’s no time to puzzle things out, either. Bizarre animals are loose in the city, Jason’s acting strange—and is the vampire captain from State flirting with him? Wolf’s going to have to keep his head in the game if he’s going to have any chance of putting the pieces together and keeping the city safe from the strange critters terrorizing its streets.

Thursday News Bites - California Bound!

9/28/2017

3 Comments

 
The thing that's consuming most of my brain this week? Yaoi Con. (!!!)

I'll be flying out next Thursday to Santa Clara and meeting the lovely Catherine Dair for Yaoi. J. Scott Coatsworth will be joining us on Sunday. :) The convention runs October 6-8, at the Hyatt Regency about 7 miles from the San Jose airport. Yaoi, Yuri, queer fiction of all sorts, panels, events (you know, Bishie Bingo, that sort of thing...)

They do have day passes - come visit us in the Dealers' Room for Mischief Corner paperbacks, fun swag stuff, and Pip & Skip plushies!
Picture
Where all the stuff is right now:
  • Safety Protocols for Human Holidays - off to the editor today! Mischief Corner has given the story a release date of 12/9 :)
  • All the World's an Undead Stage: Offbeat Crimes 6 - was just talking to Melyna Drache about the story this morning. Yes, you'll get to see who the big baddie is in this one. It's at a little over 10K, so moving somewhat more slowly than I'd like - but getting there.
  • ​Jackalopes and Woofen-Poofs - General release this coming Tuesday!
  • Pack Up The Moon: Brandywine Investigations 5 - next in the queue for finishing.
  • Conventions for next year? Erg. Argh. The only thing I know for sure is going to RT 2018.

Thursday News Bites - Scattered Bits

9/21/2017

Okay. Let me see if I can remember all the things for this week. Always seem to forget something.
  • Yaoi Con - very soon. I'll be flying out to California October 5 (Thursday) and will be at the con all weekend. The amazing Catherine Dair joins me for the weekend and J.Scott Coatsworth will drive up for Sunday. :D
  • Safety Protocols For Human Holidays - is DONE. With the trusty beta right now. :) We'll see if any major ripping and shredding needs to be done after that. (I'm going to make deadline *sobs in relief*)
  • Jackalopes & Woofen-Poofs is coming up on its general release - October 3! Almost there! Though you can get the ebook at Pride if you can't wait. ;)
  • Back to work on Offbeat Crimes 6 for the rest of the week (and every week hereafter until it's complete.)
  • There's a super sekrit project in the works. But I can't tell you about it now. That's why it's sekrit.

Friday Reading Day - Prisoner 374215

It's been a while since we visited the ESTO Universe. I've been writing on the funny side of things for so long, everyone may have forgotten I have a serious side...

An ESTO Universe Story

While the cell is sparse and cold, at least this one has a bed. The figure resting there is too thin; too still, the prominent bones the result of long starvation, the stillness the product of too much anguish and abuse. He watches, though. An anxious, intelligent mind still occupies this frail and failing body, one that watches and wonders about the new guard occupying his cell each night.

Thursday News Bites - The Holiday Story Has A Title

9/14/2017

I will agonize and dither over a title for a story for days - weeks! - and then complain about it to Freddy. Suddenly, the title's right there. Because sometimes brain needs a kickstart or perhaps just a kick.

The holiday story, for inclusion in Mischief Corner Books A Holiday To Remember collection this year, will be titled "Safety Protocols for Human Holidays." This is not one of my more serious stories. I felt I needed to tell you that. (Ha!)

Release date is scheduled for December 9. :D
Picture
Also - quick reminder that I'll be at Yaoi Con this year (Oct. 6-8 in Santa Clara, CA) at the Mischief Corner Books table. Freddy MacKay will be there and Catherine Dair as our special guest. J. Scott Coatsworth will be joining us on Sunday. Come see us in the dealers room - come for a chat, a hug, some books and some bunnies!

  • ​Deadline is October 1
  • Short stories, 5K-15K
  • All winter Holidays welcome, all LGBTQ+ protagonists, all sub-genres and diverse cast encouraged
​You can do it!

Thursday News Bites: JACKALOPES ARE LOOSE! (and some other stuff)

9/7/2017

It's here! Jackalopes & Woofen-Poofs is available now at Pride Publishing's website for early download. If you have a favorite distributor that isn't Pride Publishing, the book is up for pre-order all of those places but you'll have to wait until October 3 - not so long now!

Prepare for hoax animals galore, Alex Wolf, Jason Shen, Audacity (of course), all the officers and entities of the 77th and some fun new characters. :)

Stuff happening right this moment? I'm taking a short break from novel writing and working on a holiday short story for Mischief Corner Book's A Holiday To Remember collection for this year. Yes, it will be SF and it will be (probably) a standalone story. It will also be a F/F story since MCB is accepting all queer pairings this year - yay! And that's all I'm telling you. Ha.
