On Monday, I started a new book. Specifically, book 10 of my Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat series. This one’s a little bittersweet for me. Originally, back in 2011-2014, RWDEM grew to a 5-book series. Book 5 was intended to be the final book, had a distant-future epilogue, and so on. And that book, published READ MORE

I Want to Write a Christmas Story…
I want to write a Christmas story.Naturally, because I *want* to write, my brain is like, “Nah, that’s no fun, here, have a blue screen of doom instead.” Because that’s usually what happens when I try to write a story that isn’t a direct part of one of my series. (And sometimes even when I READ MORE
So, here we are…
I haven’t been blogging recently because there have been a lot of things going on. Some good, some not so much. But also, when I sit down to do a blog post, or a newsletter, or even a social media post, I’m battling my own brain sometimes. Executive dysfunction leads to me sitting at the READ MORE
Titles Are Hard
Book titles are HARD. And this is another of my ridiculously long posts; consider yourself advised. My Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat book titles have a theme; every title references a vegan food, because one of the main characters is the world’s only(?) gay vegan werewolf. The title theming has caused some people to either READ MORE
Almost Done…
As I type this, I’m about one chapter away from finishing the first draft of Much Ado about Muesli, book 9 of my Real Werewolves Don’t Eat Meat series. I probably could have already finished it, but this past week, between recovering from surgery (though at my follow-up appointment they said I’m recovering better than READ MORE
The Award-Winning Author!
In 2012, I was a member of what was then called the New England Chapter of Romance Writers of America. My first male/male romance novel, Salad on the Side, had been published several months earlier, and readers seemed to like it, so when I saw that NECRW had a Readers Choice Awards, I wanted to READ MORE
Paperbacks!
A lot of people nowadays read books on devices. Kindles, phones, computers… there are plenty of electronic methods of reading a book. Personally, I prefer hard copies of books. I like being able to flip the pages back and forth. I like how a book feels in my hands. And words on a paper page READ MORE
And more of more…
Last week, I posted about all the work I’d done remaking the covers for the Ebb & Flow series books, including the freebie short story Heart and Home (which you can sign up to receive on my free story page), and I posted the covers. And then, based on further feedback, I decided those covers READ MORE
Whew, that was a lot!
This past week, a well-known and well-respected male/male romance author took over an hour out of her day to chat with me on Facebook Messenger about how to improve my books and thereby, hopefully, improve my visibility and sales. I’m not naming her here because I don’t know if she would want me to. Among READ MORE
New Cover!
Now that I’ve sent out the newsletter cover reveal for Storm and Shelter (Ebb and Flow 3), I wanted to share the cover here too. I’m pretty happy with this cover, especially the necklace on “Quinn.” That necklace is actually mine; I took a picture of it and used the GIMP graphics program to clip READ MORE
