I was gonna do a Tuesday tune cause I had a song in my head all day that day. Of course, I was in a groove and wrote 6K so I didn’t have time to come over here and babble and post the song. Then yesterday I was busy posting hotties at Flirty Author Bitches. (They were pretty hot too, male, female, F/F, and M/M.) Today, on a Yahoo group, the wife of a friend posted a link to an article about him in their local paper. Well, to be honest, she’s my friend too, but I don’t talk to her like I talk to him. He and I shoot the shit about the oddest crap… databases and tech stuff…...
People use that phrase all the time when they need your help or want you to do something for them. Lately, in general, I don’t have a minute. But I never tell people, “No, I don’t”. It’s the same when they say, “Are you busy?” C’mon, I’m at work, of course I’m busy! And at home, it’s the same. I have a deadline so of course I’m busy. Ever wonder how much more you’d get done if you could have those minutes back? One day, as little private test, I tried to keep track of the minutes I’d spent elsewhere at someone else’s...

I had the opportunity to blog over at You Gotta Read Reviews over the weekend and I gave them a little insight into my mad scientist method of writing. If you get the chance, and you want to know how I do this, what makes me tick… check it out HERE. I do kinda have a method to my madness. It’s not much of one but mostly I have this GPS in my head that steers me toward what I need to do. First and foremost is hie myself to the cemetery and do the best I can at the job I’ve held there for 10 years come June 14. Like any job, there are things about it that annoy me on occasion,...

After a 180 day wait (since Oct 15) Cobblestone Press has offered me a contract for The Pixie Prince. That means Marty, the Fairy Godfather, will have his day soon. This is an amusing novella, nothing deep or dramatic. Marty has an easy time setting this couple up. However, in the sequel… poor Marty – who does things by the book – fails! And the person who manages to get the couple together in that book is Karl with a K who is devious and lies to them! At any rate, The Pixie Prince introduces us to underwear model Max Lefevre (Max Fever), vampire nightclub owner Bliss Wilde, and...

I was busy writing all weekend but another writer popped into Word Wars to explain the #amazonfail that was all over Twitter yesterday. Apparently, Amazon stripped rankings from lots of books with “adult content”. Well, the stripped books turned out to be books with decidedly GLBT themes. Ron Jeremy’s book still had it’s rankings. So did the books about dog fighting and building bombs. Some authors I know who write GLBT themed books that don’t even have sex in them were stripped of rankings. A huge outcry ensued… So there’s a petition traveling round....

I remember Jester talking on Twitter about reconnecting with people from his past on Facebook. I haven’t done much with Facebook but recently, I was talking on a Yahoo group about what inspired my story Silver Lining that will be out in July and I thought of a way to try to reconnect with some people from my past. It worked and I connected with a guy I’d known more than 20 years ago. He was best friends with a guy I’d been seeing. Now, for those of you who don’t know or don’t remember me talking about Silver Lining, what spurred this story was the fact that I’d...
