WELCOME

Welcome to my newsletter – (May 2008) Issue No. 1, no less!

I’m aiming to keep in touch with anyone who wants to join me in enjoying male/male romantic/erotic fiction (and hopefully MINE), who’s interested in knowing where I’m blogging, what at I’m working on, what’s being published, what other people have said about it – good or not so good! – and how things are going generally in the chaotic world of Frantic Fiction City, a la Clare London.

And maybe the occasional sneak preview ~ special fiction ~ Contest!

Well, this is enough news, isn’t it?! Me. Launching a newsletter. Maybe pretentious – maybe over-ambitious. But the temptation to share news and views with you overwhelmed me LOL

I’ve got some busy months ahead of me, with two novels and four short stories launching in the next 3 months. It’s tremendously exciting, exhausting too. I’ll be keeping you posted with all the details!

I’ve just joined forces with Phoenix Rising Promos, a promotions agency, so I hope they’ll be helping get my name and my stories known out there. I’m finally realising the limits of one pair of hands (mine), one addled brain (also mine) and only 24 hours in a day. Watch out for their name!

I’m due to drop in on Eternal Press Readers Group on May 7. I don’t have a personal release that day, but it’s great fun just to chat with those who do, and add to my ToBeRead pile ^_^

BOOKS

News on Twisted Brand, the sequel to The Gold Warrior: my friend Joanna is creating the cover again, and it’s already looking magnificent! More action this time, but still her beautiful style. I’m hoping for a June 15 release.

Plenty of time to buy and read The Gold Warrior, to be ready for it. Find it at Dreamspinner, Amazon, Borders, Barnes & Noble, AllRomanceEBooks…

And a great review for The Gold Warrior from Rainbow-Reviews.

Two new Nap Sized Dreams of mine went up on Dreamspinner Press this week :
http://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/shortfiction.htm

Time Out: What do you get the man that has everything? Marc D’Angelo knows exactly what his rich and famous lover needs: a chance to get away from it all, a chance to be a normal couple and enjoy being in love. All that remains is to see how Oliver Carrington reacts to his anniversary gift.
Come Together : Will Anders and Mitch Matheson's relationship had settled into a comfortable routine until Mitch decides to spice it up with “Twenty Tips to Hotter Sex.” The chapter on concurrent orgasm seems destined to change their relationship. The only question is - will it make it better or destroy it?

Hope some readers remember Will and Mitch from the Mr Right Now anthology, when they first met. I’d like to write some more about them, hot, cute couple that they are. What do readers think?!

And as sneak early news – I have another novel scheduled I hope for August though it hasn’t been through edits yet (and many people know how over-enthusiastic I am with my commas…). But it’s been accepted in principle by Dreamspinner. It’s called Sparks Fly, a contemporary m/m romance.

SCRIBBLES

Well, work-in-progress looks quiet – it comes and goes in proportion to how busy I am at the full-time job.

But I’m working on a multi-part or two on Live Journal (all free to visitors!), and a couple of novel-length works. Murders or mysterious spooks? I’ve got both in the pipeline… tell me which you’d prefer *lol*.

And maybe some more short stories on Dreamspinner…
