I had to get a twitter account in order to add my books to Authorgraph. If anyone has one of my books on their e-reader and wants an autograph, I'll be more than happen to send a personalized message. The sig isn't actually mine, but doing it freehand was awful, so I'm using what the site offers. :-P

A few weeks ago, Bob put in a new front door. Then we realized the window in the door had bent blinds, but before we could get the replacement window, we went on a cruise.

When we got home, we found the window had arrived at Lowe's, and I helped Bob put it in.

My sister came down for her vacation, so it wasn't until Tuesday that Bob got around to painting the door.

Ta dah!



Oh, and big surprise! That's my reflection in the window. ;-)

Later this fall it will be fourteen years that I've been writing m/m. So why, all of a sudden, am I writing het?

Where the Heart Chooses, Portia's story, began it, with her actually getting enthusiastic with Nigel.

And then, the other night, a chance text message from Robert Lynx, who ran the Division, resulted in a roundabout way in Mark recalling when he slept with Femme. And I'll be darned if he didn't want to get graphic!

However, since I'll be subbing If You're Going Through Hell, Keep Going to Dreamspinner, I'll have to keep it fairly vague.

But now I not only want to write Femme/Homme, but Granger/Ms. Parker/Ms. DiNois. *falls down laughing*

I'm blogging today at Kool Queer Lit about why I prefer to write m/m and how I came to write an interracial novel.

Come on by and take a look. ;-)

I can't believe I didn't mention that May is Dreamspinner's anniversary month. This week, May 13-19, authors who signed on in year four (including me!) are being featured. If there's something you'd like to pick up, these books are available at 30% off!

Meanwhile, there's also a short I wrote, in which Mark and Quinn celebrate their own anniversary. ;-)

I'm on AO3! And I finally have my Sentinel stories available! Well, most of them. There are still some that will need to be uploaded. *g*

Meanwhile, I'm trying to figure out how Mark can convince his waiter that he's not screwing around on Quinn. (He's having dinner with The Boss.)

I'm working on what will either be another novella in the Spy vs. Spook universe, or an actual novel--right now I've got about 30k.

Now, something happens that has Granger, the cross-dresser, tearing through the WBIS to get to Mark's office. He'd been on the fifth floor trying on new gowns. Originally, I'd had him show up with his shirt unbuttoned, his belt unbuckled, and his shoelaces untied. But would it work better if he actually arrived in the green lace gown? *cough*

So, in case you hadn't realized, I'm home. *g* It was a good vacation, although it did take two hours longer to disembark than we were told, because of the sequestering thing. Most of the laundry is done, and I'm slowly getting my inbox under control.

But the news that I'd been waiting for arrived yesterday, and I signed the contract today! In October/November, The Start of a Beautiful Friendship will be released. It's a Spy vs. Spook novella. :-D

Since I'll be away and mostly without internet access, please stop by and click if you have the time:

The Breast Cancer Site

and

The Animal Rescue Site.

Thanks muchly, and have a great week!

Everything's just about packed up, and all I need to do is update the flashdirve. We'll be away until next Sunday. Everyone have a great week. (and gem225, take care of you!)
