Secrets & Lies is finished. It’s a lot longer and has more twists and turns than I’d imagined, but I think it’s all the better for it. I really can’t wait until this one comes out.

Now I’m off to start editing, and planning out the sequel.

Secrets & Lies

Guess what…

Several of my books, and myself, have been nominated for the annual Preditors and Editors Poll. I’d be thrilled if you’d pop over and vote for me.

I, for one, am thrilled to see the L word back on Showtime. There’s nothing more enjoyable for me than a good, juicy drama.

It’s nice to have something to watch for a change, when television seems to be running toward reality and game shows more and more these days. 

Now I’ll just be glad when Torchwood comes back on later this month. That’ll give me a few good reasons to keep paying for Directv anyway. ;)

What’s everyone else watching right now?

Rock Paper Scissors

 By Bobby Michaels

Thomas Wells Atherton III, known as Tommy, the unbelievably wealthy scion of an old “Back Bay” Boston family has let the family down by being gay. After graduating from Harvard, rather than accepting a job arranged by his father with a prestigious Boston firm, Tommy heads for San Francisco where he can live openly as a gay man. He has only one small piece of baggage - Thomas Wells Atherton IV, better known as Tiger — his son.

Even once he gets to San Francisco, Tommy has no intention of meeting anyone important. He’s never been in love and isn’t about to fall. Famous last words. Then into his office walks Brian Baldwin, muscular Irish construction worker. Tommy takes one look and he’s a goner.

But Brian has come for a divorce, and Tommy’s hopes are nearly dashed. When Brian admits he wants a divorce because he’s gay, Tommy finds himself doing things and thinking things he’s never thought about before, including bringing Brian home to meet Tiger.

And once they “sleep over” as Tiger would say, Brian never leaves.

Well, as you can see by the meter below, I’m well above the projected word count for my current project, Secrets & Lies, and yet I’m still not finished. My poor, tortured heroes just don’t seem to want to shut up.

Here’s to hoping they cooperate soon and finally get their happy ending.

Secrets & Lies

The start of a new year, for me, is always a time of reflection. I like to think of the things I’ve accomplished in the last year and the things I’d like to get done in the months to come.

2007 was a wonderful year for me, but I’m looking forward to 08. Months lay ahead, like blank slates just waiting to be filled. I have a lot of plans, both professional and personal, that I hope to fulfill by the time 09 rolls around, but only time will tell what happens between now and then.

Getting there is half the fun.
