The apartment had that closed-up smell, a little dusty, a little damp, but nothing an open window wouldn’t fix. Jimmy must have smelled it too because he went directly to one of the windows. The glass rattled in the frame. The muscles in Jimmy’s shoulders and back rippled and flexed as he pushed up the sash.

Mmm, nice view. Continue Reading »

“The classical cannon of Greek and Latin literature does not treat Eros with particular reverence.” Professor Anton MacDonnough stepped out from behind his podium. He paced across the front of the classroom, his eyes alighting first on one student, then another. “In fact, any sensible reader will come away from a careful reading of the ancient texts with the clear impression that rather than a god to be adored, we would do better to treat Eros as….” Here he paused for effect. “Frankly, a psychopath.”

Laughter rippled through the room. MacDonnough smiled. Val sighed.

Mac had been his faculty advisor since his freshman year and was now advising on the writing of Val’s senior thesis.

The lovely and talented Elisa Rolle has reviewed Phoenix Rising. She says in part,

“Young friendly gay guy, talented but poor, meets older closeted gay man, wealthy and gentle. Is another Cinderfella’s story? Not quite, since our two heroes will not leave happily ever after when the clock strikes the midnight, they need to suffer a bit before.”

How cool is that?

I have news to share.

Last week I learned that my novel, Phoenix Rising, will be releasing from MLR Press later this summer rather than next year as I had originally expected. How cool is that?

In addition, my friend and crit partner, Anne Cain, is doing my cover. Anne is the goddess of cover art of all time so I’m just as excited about that as I am about the release. *happy dance*

I don’t have my cover yet, but as soon as I do I’ll post it here so everyone can share the yumminess. Likewise, when I know my exact release date I’ll post it here.

Just as I promised, here’s a sexy excerpt from Gift of Eros. Enjoy!
