Every year Dreamspinner Press has an Workshop for its authors. Each year more and more people attend. Last year, in Portland, I started taking selfies with people. So I continued the ‘tradition’ this year.

One of my favorite people, Wade Kelly. This is so her, always upbeat and happy.
Ha, poor Poppy, I cornered her for another one.

Last year and at GRL Lane Hayes avoided my camera, this year we got our picture.
Charlie Cochet still as lovely as ever.
But the coming home one with my best girl is still my favorite. -
GRL ’14 and Me – In Pictures
This was my first GRL and well I might have taken a few too many pictures, but I had a great time and I wanted to share a few (yes, there are way more than these). The videos didn’t fit in the gallery so I added them at the end.

This too. J.P. Found a new way to draw attention to me. It was. . .interesting to have this happen all the time. 😀
Seeing Amy Lane at the signing, well, we got a bit carried away.
If there was a better way to end GRL, I can’t think of what it would be.

Cover Reveal – A Heart for Robbie; by JP Barnby
Today I’m doing something special for a friend. She wrote a book that was very personal for her. It has some meaning that she will share with her fans and readers in due time; in her time. But JP is a rather wonderful person, a real angel among us. She published an entire line of books so she could donate the royalties to homeless LGBT youth, she created a website written by a YA character so LGBT youth would have a place to go and read about other kids like them and to feel safe; and she never judges. Everyone is someone and everyone matters.
When she asked me to help spread the word about A Heart for Robbie it was an automatic yes. If you’ve never read a JP Barnaby book, you should and this will be a great place to start.

Waiting for someone else’s child to die so yours can live is the worst kind of Hell. (more…)

New Releases: Monday June 10, 2013
In an effort to help some of my fellow authors, every Monday I post some of the numerous new books that have been released. For the most part these will be M/M Fiction with a heavy bias on Romance. That will probably evolve over time, but for now that’s where it is.
I’ve not read everything that is listed, though I’ve probably read or will read many. Which means inclusion on the list isn’t an endorsement or suggestion. You should read the blurbs provided to see if you’re interested. I’ll post reviews to books I recommend under the ‘Books I Reviewed’ tab. This is just a partial list of what’s new for visitors of my site to check out. That said if you end up reading something listed here and want to comment – please do. I reserve the right, however, to delete nasty or personal comments.
If you’re an author and want to include a new release, email me your blurb, cover image, buy links and any personal links you want included. No excerpts, interviews, giveaways etc. Those are welcome, but can be discussed separately.

Book 1 How The Light Gets In
Blurb:
He was like the only splash of color in a black-and-white photograph.The man was beautiful.
At an exhibition opening in Sydney, jaded Hollywood heartthrob Jaxon Moncrieff lays eyes on publicity-shy artist Liam Lassiter for the first time and is immediately captivated. But he doesn’t get far into their first conversation before he realizes what he’s feeling is attraction, which brings him up short. Jaxon has always been a womanizer.
Despite his reservations, Jaxon makes a play for Liam, but Liam has his own issues. Unlucky in love and orphaned at sixteen, he is reluctant to open his heart to anyone, and dismisses Jaxon out of hand. (more…)
