“Maybe he’s right.  Maybe I am the cause of this.  Maybe you were normal before meeting me.”

Gable Peterson isn’t the type to get into fights.

He’s had disagreements with people, yes, but it has never reached the point of needing to ball his fists to defend himself.  The closest he’s come to violence is his father’s hunting.  The older man has taken him out a few times and Gable has held a gun, however, he’s never had the urge to fire it.

Gable Peterson is also one of those lucky, gay kids who doesn’t have a tragic back story.  He was never bullied, never hated, and though he knows that he was never completely “out of the closet” he’s seen with his own eyes his parent’s acceptance, once upon a dream.  He’s had his parents sit next to him and offer their support regarding Avery’s disappearance, has had his mother wag her finger at him for not telling her sooner.  She’s expressed disappointment about not being able to make his boyfriend a home cooked meal, already creating a menu in her mind in regards to what she should cook.

Gable’s heard stories of boys like him being beaten up, or made fun of, for “being different.”  He knows there’s organizations on campus that offer nothing but support and kindness, knows there’s “Safe Zones” and he knows that It Gets Better.

Despite the number of times he’s gone through this nightmare, he – foolishly – never once thought that he would play the part of the victim.

It looks like my next book will be out right on schedule: November 1st! I’ll have links to where it can be purchased when I get them. It’s my very first gay romance novel, but you all know me, the “romance” part has to be complicated in a weird, supernatural, nightmare inducing way ^^

Here’s some news about my next book.  It looks like it’ll be ready right on schedule!  Before release I’m looking for reviewers of the book, so if anyone knows any places I should try (or if you’re a reviewer yourself) let me know, my publisher gives me free electronic copies to distribute to reviewers.  Reviews would be wonderful to have on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Goodreads, and personal blogs. 

To my new followers, I have a writing blog you can follow to keep up with my writing  :)

Another piece of art we got from Meta con 2013. 

This piece was done by the awesome munny artist at the table next to us http://arc-onic.deviantart.com/

The hunter watched as the shadows pulled back like a receding wave of dark black. A figure stepped out of the shadows, the waves parting for him like a curtain. Its feet were silent against the uneven concrete, gently touching the floor like a trained dancer. It was tall and skinny, the type of thinness that reminded Alix of news reports of war torn countries where the people looked like they never ate. Despite its malnourished appearance no bones showed through his skin, but the texture of its flesh almost looked like a frozen liquid, small ripples flowing down its arms and chest. Its skin was a color similar to runny ink pens, the black seeming to bleed into the concrete. Its eyes were hollow, missing pupils, and deep like endless black holes that made Alix wonder how the creature could see in front of him. 

In contrast to its creepy, elongated features two large ears flapped down around its head, giving the creature a strange resemblance of a playful puppy, something that could be trusted — but Alix knew better. To think that creatures like this shadow dog — the closest thing that Alix could associate the demon with — sparked nightmarish stories of demons and other religious fodder was laughable. What stood in front of him now certainly didn’t look like the demons the rest of the human world was so familiar with. In fact, there was a good portion of them that probably would have thought that this inhuman thing was, dare he say, cute, something to keep as a pet and make do tricks for spoiled little children.

Alix was disgusted by the thought.

Meet Dox, one of the creatures from “Seeking the Storyteller.” This first upcoming book is part of the “Hunters” series by myself and my wifey.

More book stuff!  Get excited, it’s coming soon!

What’s a Scough?

The Scough are a group of demons that show up in the Hunters series which resemble a mix of humans and foxes.  Many have fox style ears with fur that goes from the top of their head, down their backs, and ends in tails.  Their colors range from white (like arctic foxes) to red, to brown and black and grey.  

They tend to live in the forest, preferring to be surrounded by trees and nature and don’t build permanent structures.  Instead they sleep in nests made of leaves and branches and moss, curling together in family groups for warmth.  Due to their low numbers they prefer to stay out of conflict and avoid the other species and groups in the demon world.  

This, of course, makes them a perfect place for a Storyteller to hide.  Or rather, it seemed like a good idea at the time.

A bit of information from our book coming out before the end of the year. 

Pass the word.  Our book is due out at the end of the year.  Here’s an inside look at one of the creatures  :)

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  ^^

Seasons 1 and 8
Sam and Dean

this hurts

Dean looks like he’s had every past ounce of joy and hope sucked out of him.

A lot of the softness and kindness in Sam’s face is gone, and he looks hurt by the world and angry with it.

Yikes.  They’ve changed so much.  Then again I hope our book series has the same effect on people, like, “Hey, look what’s happened from the beginning to now?”  Like you don’t realize the weight of things sometimes until a post like this, then it’s like, “… wow shit.”

Possible cover number 2!!

Here’s the second proof we received from our cover artist.  Alix and Fagan are peering around the corner at… a lurk.  

 Potential cover #2: by rain-arc.com and lorbot.deviantart.com

And a little snippet to go with it:

The Lurkhamara was glaring at them, its arm extended out as shadows leaked from its fingers and dripped onto the ground.  Instead of speaking a command, the words attack and destroy appeared over the creatures’ bodies, the shadows’ loud screech piercing into the air.  These small, round creatures were quickly scurrying after them like rabid parasites.  None of them had eyes to see, instead they were made of toxic shadows that seemed to kill the plant life and land that the creatures touched.  As they got closer Fagan could see that a few of them had large holes that served as mouths, sharp teeth dangling and ready to strike.  Fagan glanced back at Alix, frowning, “Alix, backup!”

“Allow me.”  Yvonne smirked and stepped past Fagan, pushing his hand out.  What was a small flame at his fingertips surged forward, exploding in a wave of yellow and red flames.  The strange shadowy creatures wailed in protest, their bodies instantly melting from the heat.

Cover number two!

Hey everyone, would you like to read a scene from my book?  Follow this link  :)  

A very cool blog has showcased my book  ^^

huntersseries:

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  ^^
