Such Things I Do, Just To Make Myself More Attractive To You

You ever just have one of those weeks? I'm still recovering from a bout of insomnia and various other issues that have cropped up. To that end, I forgot to mention some big news that went down last week. My novel, Losing and Gaining, is now available in paperback!! I know, right? Awesome! To those of you who would like an actual book to hold with my name on it, follow this little link and buy yours today.

Isn't he delicious? I mean, good Lord.

I Need Some Time in the Sunshine, Gotta Slow it Right Down

Well, I'm back. It's good to see not much has happened since I've been gone from the interwebs. Not that I expected much.

There were a few good things that happened during my hiatus. I found out that Losing and Gaining is #4 on the Amber Allure Bestseller List for June!! Also, I saw the mock-up of the paperback cover. I can't wait until it is ready to go!!

Also, I got some good news about upcoming projects that I will share in due time. Until then, you'll just have to be patient.

It was nice to take a bit of time off from the electronic world. It wasn't easy, but I think it was worth it. I did miss my Man Candy, though. That's why I picked an extra special one for today. Yummy!

I Don't Know Anymore, What Am I Waiting For?

If I could sum up the way I'm feeling right now, I'd have to say over it. I'm over it. What is 'it' you might be asking? Everything. I'm over it all. I feel this incredible need to detox the unnecessary from my life. To take a break from caring about everything and give my psyche a break. A chance to take a breath and not have to think about something mundane and pointless every minute of every day. Some time off from worrying about things I can't control, waiting for emails that never seem to come and laying down at night riddled with anxiety about something so trite, it isn't even worth my time.

So, in that vein, I'm taking the week off. Not from work or from life, but from the Internet. I'm giving the great time sucking devices the heave ho for a bit. Facebook, Twitter, email, Yahoo, Goodreads, etc. will all be well and fine without me for a while. If you need to get in touch, feel free, I'll get back to you as soon as I'm done sticking my head in the sand for a while. Those who truly need to get in touch know how. Everyone else, with all due respect, I'll catch you on the flip.

Until then, I've programmed some Man Candy posts for my absence. Please to enjoy. Unless something earth-shatteringly important happens while I'm gone, I'll see you seven days hence. Oh, and say hello to the Australian Olympic Swim Team.

I Set My Hand To Writing You, It Drifted Off the Page

Something wonderful happened this weekend. I got a wonderful piece of fan mail about my new novel, Losing and Gaining. It was nice to hear from someone who really liked the book and actually took the time to email me and let me know. That kind of stuff always makes my day and I was happy to know that my book spoke to that person.

In other news, it seems that Middle Men, a wonderful collection edited by Shane Allison is available a few days early. It contains my story, Dogging It. It was also recently reviewed by Erotica Revealed and they had nice things to say about my story.

I'm starting a brand new project and I was in need of a bit of inspiration. I think I found it with the Man Candy this week. What do you think?
