I just received a release date for Precious Ache. My newest M/M novella should debut at Amber Allure on September 1st!

A friend sent me this in an email. It was too cute not share.

Ponderisms

1. I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

2. Garden Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

3. The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

4. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.

5. Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?

6. In the 60’s, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

7. How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

8. Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, ‘I think I’ll squeeze these dangly things here and drink whatever comes out?’

9. Who was the first person to say, ‘See that chicken there? ! I’m gonn a eat the next thing that comes outta its butt.’

10. If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

11. Why does your OB-GYN leave the room when you get undressed if he’s going to look up there anyway?

12. Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

13. Why doesn’t glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

4 Stars!
“Secrets and Lies is an intriguing tale with a unique spin on vampire lore. The hierarchy among the creatures and the inter-species relations are well developed and provide an interesting backdrop for the story. I was immediately immersed in this world and the characters and definitely recommend this story.”

I discovered two gray strands while I was blowing out my hair this morning. Can anyone say “bleh”? Now I’m searching the mirror looking for the wrinkles that’ll pop up next. I’m only 26, but I think it’s time to look into some heavy duty wrinkle cream. Anyone know of a good brand?

I’m happy to share that I’ve been offered a contract for my novella, Precious Ache, from Amber Quill. I’ve been dying to tell you all since I received the acceptance, but I wanted to wait until the contract was signed and delivered before I spread the good news.

There’s no word yet on any of the finer details yet, but I’ll be sure to let you all know something the minute I do.

Secrets and Lies

After the near genocide of his race, Teague Johnson now spends his life hiding in plain sight. In a city of populated by humans and nightfeeders alike, he and his brother are forced to cloak themselves in forged histories in order to blend in among the hierarchy of society.

When he’s not working at Oasis, the sex club he and his brother own, Teague keeps to himself. He relies on strangers to feed his sexual desires, but anything more intimate is off limits. A nosy boyfriend snooping around in his business is the last thing he needs.

Kyle Drake’s arrival at the club makes Teague rethink his favorable stance on one night stands. From the very first touch, Teague can’t get enough of Kyle. Their weekly trysts give Teague a reason to anticipate the future — until Kyle unexpectedly disappears.

A visit from an old friend thrusts Teague’s life under a microscope and endangers everything he holds dear. Allegiances are tested, and the lines of friendship blur in a race to stop an inhuman killer. Kyle’s fate hinges on Teague’s ability to untangle the intricate web of secrets and lies before it’s too late.

My glorious record for never having had a story rejected died yesterday evening. No, it did not suffer. The record was quickly put out of it’s misery and laid to rest. It will be mourned by me and only me, but I will not grieve for it long. The record was old and it’s in a better place now.
