Sunlight Sucks

This Monday I’ve got some quick stuff to get to… then a Marcus! Thanks to everyone for their emotional support. Whether you comment or not, I always know you’re there. I love you people. If anyone knows of someone in SoCal who can help the babies get a home, please let me know. There are photos and info on Craigslist. Holden still needs votes to overtake the 2nd place het hero at TRS’ Hero Competition. You can vote once a week with every valid email address you have. It would be such a coup for the non-het hero to do well in this. You can cast your vote HERE. Some of you...

I has winnahs. Many winnahs. This was soooo much fun. Louie was asleep so he couldn’t pick a winner like last time. Last year for Blog Reader Appreciation Week, Motley drew a name out of a Dooney bag. This year, she just picked numbers and I looked to see whose comment was that number. So here are this year’s Blog Reader Appreciation Week winners! Winner of the Goodie Bag is Comment #22 DEBBY! Winner of the Snarkcoaster is Comment #33 KIMMY L! Winners of a book are Comments: # 25 – Del #1 – Maurya #15 – Christina Engels #2 – Trinity #6 – Val Pearson #16...

Yes, this is definitely my pretty. I may be prejudiced since I’m not only the author but the artist, but hey. This is so pretty I think I’m entitled this once. And here’s the other pretty that goes along with it. A nice little video. Fire Season is a 55K word novel that is actually a prequel to the first two Tales novellas released by Pink Petal Books. Here’s a blurb from the Coming Soon page. Black dragon Holden Antaeus isn’t looking for a mate. His life is filled with family, work, and dating. Women adore him and he’s never short of offers for sex, but a...

Actually, my publishing cherry will be popped tomorrow on Sunday. That’s the day The Wise Guy is released by Noble Romance Publishing. This book is the most recent contract I received, but the book is being released just before the first two books of the Tales of the Darkworld. If you want to read more about the book and all the people who did things to actually help me make this happen you can run over to the Lex Valentine blog and read the post about Release Day. Here, I want to talk about this book and the whole getting published thing in a different way. You see, these books are seeing...

Marty had a great blog post about You Tube and Warner Music Group recently. Like Marty, the way WMG has treated the music in videos situation affects me. Not that I had any videos stripped of their music (yet anyway) the way Marty did, but in the way I go about searching for a song for a video. Last night I decided to try to make a video for my first book release. I’d been thinking about this ever since I got the cover art, and frankly, I hadn’t had a single idea! So I was puttering around last night listening to different things on Imeem when Motley (Nikki) needed to put some songs...

So I’m in deadline hell. I have to have this manuscript done by this coming weekend. I’m at 23K words and 30K is my target. I made some real progress this past weekend, but if Wednesday through Saturday had been like Sunday… well, this thing would be done. I’m not sure why this story has been difficult. I’m going to have to look at that once it is complete and sent to my editor. Today, I’m playing hooky from hell. I have some other things I need to do after work, so the manuscript will have to wait. I have to reprogram the scoring program for my horse racing...

It’s raining in SoCal so I think we need a wet Marcus today. What do you think? I think the best part of this photo is that he’s not clean shaven. Not too many photos of him like that out there. Okay, so if you haven’t read yesterday’s post you should. I was spreading some love and talking about my Christmas book. Even men might like Christmas Hookup. It has steamy sex and an O’Henry Gift of the Magi ending. No TVC, just a heart warming story with some sizzle to it. To download the book you can click HERE. Add it to the cart and checkout, it won’t ask you for...

Do you remember the Christmas story called the Gift of the Magi? It’s a Christmas story with a twist, but a heartwarming one. It’s always been my favorite Christmas story. I suppose when I set out to write a Christmas story for my publisher that it must have been at the back of my head. What I produced was hot and sexy, but by the end it’s obvious that it’s a Gift of the Magi type of tale. The reason I’m telling you this today is because if you visit my publisher Pink Petal Books and click on the link for the bookstore, you will find my Christmas ebook. You can also...

Happy Humpday beautiful people! I have a couple of things to say and then I will leave you with some hotness. First up, I reposted Can Vampires Be Gay over at Lex Valentine’s blog. If you haven’t read this story that is based on something that happened to Miss Britt, hop on over and give it a read. It’s a very timely story in view of Prop 8 here in California. I’m also still pimping my Halloween Flash Fiction. There’s The Green Lady which is based on a true cemetery ghost story. Beware! This story features throbbing vampire cock! Also, I have a second Halloween Flash...

I don’t like to ask for things, but today I’m going to ask for a little assistance. I entered a contest yesterday. A writing contest. Flash fiction, 500 word maximum, Halloween theme. (Okay, mine’s a little naughty too.) The five entries with the most positive comments will be forwarded to the publisher of eXtasy books for judging. So, I’m gonna swallow my pride and ask you all to stop by and leave a comment on my entry. The blog is called Seven Wicked Authors and my entry is The Green Lady by Lex Valentine. I sincerely appreciate all your support. Oh, and for all the ladies...

Over on LexValentine.com I talked about world building and how I ended up doing that through Twitter and Yahoo Instant Messenger. Over here, I wanna talk about the people. I touched on it a little over there but what I blog about there is the mechanics of writing. Here I like to show off my characters and focus on people. The world where my characters live is called the Darkworld. Sometimes, the things that happen there are like a twisted fairytale. (Remember Fractured Fairy Tales? Anyone old enough?) So in the first novella of the series, Max the Pixie Prince finds a mattress and his mate. You...

I was definitely the Little Engine That Could this weekend. I took Friday off and started serious work on the Prince & Pea. That little bit I posted for you was all I had… but by 11 pm last night, I had over 21K words. It was a rough weekend with heat, distractions, and a host of other things. However, I just kept telling myself “I think I can, I think I can” and sure enough… I did! The story needs to be edited. I just rushed and put it all down because sometimes that’s what you have to do to finish something. In this instance, it was what was working for me....
