I’ve decided to redo the cover for the print edition of Hunger. The story will remain the same; I’m just planning to revamp the cover a bit. Below is the old and new version. I’m not sure what you all will think, but I’m definitely partial to the red.

I’m giving away an autographed copy of my new paperback release, Love Hurts, on Goodreads.com. You can enter to win by visiting the link below. The deadline to enter is June 8th. Good luck to those of you who enter!

Love Hurts contains four erotically charged novellas about men who love men. From the first blush of love to rekindling the passion in a long term relationship, there’s a little something for everyone between the covers of this anthology.

The following stories are included: Furtive Liaison, GWM Wanted, Precious Ache, and Screwed.

Furtive Liaison begins with a steamy tryst in an adult bookstore and leads to a relationship riddled with complications. Love may not be enough to overcome to intrusion of reality or the secrets one of the men harbors.

GWM Wanted finds a couple who are in a long term relationship struggling to rekindle the flames of passion. A threesome with a sexy stranger could be their saving grace or their last hurrah.

In Precious Ache, a man believes falling in love with an unattainable guy was his biggest mistake. Not being able to resist his best friend’s tempting lips may prove to be much worse.

Screwed catches up with a closeted couple on the verge of losing everything after one of them is publicly outed. The remaining man must choose between stepping out into the light and facing the consequences or being left behind when his lover moves on.

My proof copy of Love Hurts (a new anthology that includes a bunch of my short fiction) arrived in the mail today! It’s isn’t available for sale yet, but I bet it’ll be listed on Amazon within the week.

After much waffling, I finally made it to one of the many local tattoo parlors and had some new ink added to my nape. I’m a little bit in love with it. The tattoo itself is a little icky looking right now (the photo was taken about an hour after I had it done) but there’s a picture for you below.
