Hey so since I have like, a bunch of new followers, I should do that whole, “Hey I’m a published author check out my books,” thing. So yeah… I’m a published author and you should check out my books. That’s my author pic where, you know, I actually wear make up for something other than cosplay and am not holding a frog ^^ You can follow my writerly adventures here:
All of these places have information on my work. "Double Hue" is coming soon, but “Treat Me Kindly” is available now.
So I got the cover to my next book :) It’s my first full length gay romance novel. Urm… there is romance, I swear! Just… really twisted messed up stuff to go with it because, it’s me ^^;;;
Here’s a blurb: When something tragic happens, you want nothing more than to close your eyes and make all of the pain go away. For Gable Peterson it’s a little more complicated than that. When detective Maurice Ashford shows up at his door with news that his boyfriend, Avery Blair, has been found dead, Gable is left devastated. Seeking some sort of comfort, Gable closes his eyes and imagines a world where none of this happened.
Only, Gable wakes up, he’s surprised to see that Avery is actually still alive.***
I’ll post snippets and teasers over time. So far the release date looks to be November, so after “Hunters: Seeking the Storyteller.“ Yay books!
*gasp* Another book? Yep ^^
The first book of the Hunters series is currently with the publisher, in the editing queue. So while we all wait for updates, here’s an interesting tidbit.
This series started out as a role play between my partner and I while we had a long distance relationship in college. She was down in Iowa and I was up here in Minnesota. I drove down to see her at least once a month (a four hour drive one way!) and during the rest of the month we hung out on mIRC and AIM throwing our favorite anime characters into new plotlines of our own creation. Somewhere along the line these characters took on personalities, lives and stories of their own so they were completely different from the characters they were named after. Years later I got bored at work and wrote a scene between two of the characters just for fun, and that became the first scene of this book.
While we wait, I’d love to answer questions about the series if you guys have any. So, any questions for me?
Hey everyone, in case you missed it, I have another book coming out. This one is with my lovely partner and it has its very own tumblr page since it’s going to be a series. Be sure to follow it to get the latest updates :) There’s already a few teasers and snippets posted.
Also, we’re both open for questions in regards to the series, or writing in general ^^
An author page? For me? Yes please :) This link takes you to all of the things I have published so far ^^
Check it out, guys!
All right everyone, tomorrow is the day. I know a lot of you are thinking of doing eBook, which will be available on Amazon on Sunday (24 hours after it releases on the publisher’s website). However, if you’re anxious to get your hands on my book and looking for a great deal, check this message out from Damnation Books. This is only a ONE DAY DEAL, after Saturday the sale is over:
June 1st is going to be a busy day at Damnation Books. We are releasing a batch of titles at http://damnationbooks.com/. From Midnight until 11:59PM PDT the new releases will be sold at variable pricing. This means if you get to the site early you can buy titles at prices as low as a quarter per book. The price per book goes up a quarter each time it sells. Let me give this a perspective your debit card will love.
Let’s say you are the first buyer on the site. You can buy all 18 titles for your favorite e-reader at $4.50 US. $9.00 if you are the second arrival. You may also buy a single title or two, the variable pricing still applies. 18 titles at a very low price in a stressed economy. Damnation Books Rocks.
Okay, after you drop in and buy the new releases why not come back at 2PM EDT and 7PM EDT to visit with the releasing authors at the Meet the Authors Chats? You may even buy a few more books after hearing what the authors have to share. http://damnationbooks.com/chat.php

Super special awesome bouncy excitement! Expect lots of book posts from me this weekend since not only does the book come out, but so does my gay romance short story. My current mental status is… indescribable ^^;;;
OMG! You guys! The girls of Grave Impressions (check out their webcomic btw it’s great) did some lovely watercolor art of Haven and Cyn! Haven and Cyn are one of our favorite couples in the Hunters series, and these girls did wonderful fanart of them.
A bit of background: Haven is use to being on the run, moving from place to place as he runs away from something he doesn’t quite understand. Meanwhile, Cyn is a pretty moody, gothic girl with a big attitude, but she uses it to hide the secrets of her dark past. I’m so happy with this picture, it’s all watercolor and gorgeous! They’re going to ship it to us, and we hope to use it to promote the book at conventions :)
Gorgeous fanart is gorgeous *__* Will most definitely be working with these wonderful artists again!
Huzzah for our first original fanart from our book *__* Thank you so much to the ladies of Grave Impressions. I want to have a lovely table at a con with all of the wonderful arts that people do for us.
Hey everyone, check it out! This is the publisher that my first book is being released through. Check out the “Upcoming Releases” section, you’ll find my book there!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Big news from the writing blog, check it out!
Wow, haven’t updated this in a while. Anime Central was definitely an experience. A very good experience at that. Our table did fairly well, I think, and I got a lot of compliments on my cosplay :)
I also made some great connections in regards to our books. Our table neighbors are doing an awesome, water color commission of two of our favorite characters from, “Hunters: Seeking the Storyteller.” I will definitely post pictures when it’s done. Also, an artist I really, really love and respect wants to do the cover art for our book and has offered to do promotional art for “Hunters” and for my book “Treat Me Kindly.”
By the way, I’m going to throw this out there while I’m still on an emotional high from people wanted to do art for my books, but I think it would be great to have such art at my table at conventions. Having the book is one thing, and talking about it is great too, but if I have amazing images to back it up I think that would take it to a whole new level. Postcards, bookmarks, or just art to sort of put on display would be great. So if you’re an artist and are interested in something like that, let me know. I’m still learning how the whole thing works, but I know for sure that I would definitely credit your work (and if you have business cards I’d definitely have them for people to take at cons)
Oh! And here is a break down for the release of “Treat Me Kindly.”
June 1st: Released on publisher’s site as ebook (Damnation Books)
Just 2nd: Released on Amazon as ebook
2 - 3 weeks later: Released as physical copy at select retailers (I’ll post the list when I know which ones)
Also, my short story “Press Start to Play” will be in Dreamspinner’s “Make a Play” anthology on June 1st as well. You can either download the entire anthology, or the individual story itself. Again, I’ll post links when it becomes available.
I’m going to go back to posting snippets of my books. My temp job is over for about a month and a half, so that gives me time to work on commissions and advertise my books.
That’s all for now. Have to get ready to head back to Minnesota. Take care!
Hey followers, the writing blog is back in action as I talk about ACEN, book releases, and promotional art. The book will be out in a few short weeks. Who’s excited?
A conversation between me and my wifey this morning:
Me: If the book sells well I want to take you somewhere nice
Her: It might be kind of cute if it didn’t sell too well right away and you took me to like McDonalds
Me: LOL! But we want it to sell well!
Her: Of course we do! Just saying that it would be cute if the first check went to McDonalds
Me: All right! If it doesn’t sell too well, I’ll take you to McDonalds
Her: If it does good, you can take me to Wendys
Me: And we’ll sit inside and eat!
Her: And if it does amazingly well, you can take me to Culvers
Me: And if it hits bestseller status I’ll take you to either Five Gives or Red Robin… or Fat Burger in Vegas
Her: Sounds like a plan!
Yes we just categorized how to celebrate the book’s success by way of hamburgers.
This is a thing that happened this morning.
O.K. So bookmarks are actually pretty spendy to have made, especially for the amount I want for our tables at conventions. But my wonderful partner gave me the idea of making business cards with my writing blog listed on it, for now, and then when the book comes out I can splurge for bookmarks and put links on where it can be purchased :) This would hopefully gain followers at conventions, where I can talk about the book and tease at it, and the blog would have links of where the book can be purchased anyway :)
So here’s what I’m thinking for the cards. The snippet on the back is from a crime scene in the book ^^ I thought it would be best to pick a crime scene of some sort to get people interested.
Thoughts?
Reblogging for advertising myself! Be sure to follow the writing blog for more details :)
