Re-release of TACTICS!

Torquere Press has re-released my popular Contemporary novelette, Tactics!

BLURB:

Colin and Michael are best buds. They always have been, but neither of them have ever been willing to admit there might be more to it. When Colin is suddenly injured in an accident, though, Michael starts to realize that he can’t hide his deeper feelings for his friend.

Should Michael act on his feelings, or will Colin turn him away? Using the careful strategy of a game of chess, Colin and Michael dance around the idea that they can deepen their relationship, but there’s a lot more at stake than just bragging rights. Can Michael and Colin win at love?

TACTICS at Fictionwise

It was very gratifying to discover that my Torquere Press Single Shot, TACTICS, is at No. 1 in the Publisher listing at Fictionwise and No. 2 in both Gay Romance and Gay Erotica.  I don’t think I’ve ever been No. 1 at anything before!  Or even No. 2   I know it won’t stay there long so I took a quick copy – for posterity LOL!

Review for TACTICS!

I was delighted to receive an excellent 4 stars from Rainbow Reviews for my Single Shot from Torquere Press, TACTICS.

Here is a small quote, you can read the full review at the link below.

“The only thing better than all of the fun and sexy innuendos between them, is when they share their first kiss – they weren’t the only ones who waited breathlessly for that moment!”

Author news

Recently worked on the Edits for my short story (Sip) for Torquere titled ‘Tutelary’ but still haven’t got a release date, hopefully I’ll know soon.

Today I received the Edits for my novelette (Single Shot), ‘Tactics’, due out from Torquere early in July. Got these from a new Editor but hopefully we can work well together.

Catching Up!

Heck, it was something of a shock when I realised how long it had been since I wrote anything on here! I have been so involved with writing, editing, promoting and most recently redesigning my website that blogging was way down on the list. Now, I have to try to remember what has happened in my writing world since March…..

I have had another Sip submission accepted from Torquere, this time for a fantasy called TUTELARY. Not had a publication date for that yet, but should be soon.

I do have a publication date for my novelette, TACTICS, though, it will be released by Torquere on 5th July – which means I will have two releases in the same month by two different publishers as Phaze are releasing BEYOND THE VEIL, my historical novel, on 21st July. That’s a first for me, two publishers in one month, wow!

What else? Oh yeah, I had another wonderful review for CANE a few weeks back. This time I received 5 Angels from Fallen Angels reviews. A sample:

Cane is a glimpse into a man’s heart and soul, and we are privy to Piet’s love, his hurt, his life. Watching Piet accept himself as a gay man during that time period with all the hiding necessary to stay safe and to not become ostracized by those you love gave me a new respect for anyone who has openly accepted their preference.

Lastly, I have finally obtained my own domain and only yesterday I uploaded my completely redone website, I think this version is much cleaner and easier to navigate. Have a look:

I think that is it, though the odds are I’ve forgotten something I will post again if I’m right!

I will try to get back into a routine of posting more regularly.

Contract for ‘Conflict’ – at last!

I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while now and when I checked I realise it has been almost three weeks since I got the news I want to document! Gosh, time does fly when you are busy.

I was very pleased to hear – 3 weeks ago now! – that another novel of mine has been accepted for publication. Particularly pleased as this one – ‘Conflict’ – is the sequel to my historical gay romance, ‘Cane’. It has taken longer than I hoped to get it accepted but that hardly seems to matter now that I have the contract signed, sealed and delivered!

Really, 2008 is turning out to be a good year for me (so far!). My second novel – ‘Beyond the Veil’ – is due out in July, as is another novelette – ‘Tactics’ – as I just heard today. Busy month July! And now I have another novel slated for next January – that seems a long way away, but I have so much planned for this year that I’m sure it will be here before I realise it!

Celebrating another acceptance!

Heard yesterday from Torquere that they have accepted my submission of TACTICS for the Single Shot line and I’m celebrating.

Had a difficult few weeks with my current writing project – not writer’s block as much as I have so much going on my mind has just been bouncing all over the place and I don’t seem to have written more than a few paragraphs *sigh*. I have finally finished the major edits on my novel and squared away some other stuff so as from tomorrow I’m going back to my project with hopefully a clear mind, well as clear as mine ever is!

Still awaiting on news of another submission, but that could be some weeks yet. I *hate* waiting….
