Biochemistry, the follow up to Organic Chemistry releases October 9 so I thought I’d give you a sneak peek.  Here’s an excerpt from the beginning of the story when Kurt first meets Freddie.  Let’s just say that things start out a little rocky.  This story is very much a nerd meets jock sort of story.  As a once nerdy kid and still somewhat nerdy adult, this kind of story really appeals to me.  I love the idea of the quiet brainiac actually catching the attention of the handsome jock and winning his affection.  You’ll also get to spend a little more time … Continued

  Sometimes when I’m searching for a topic to write about I look at elements of my own life for inspiration and one place that has provided a lot of that is the gym.   When I threw my father’s seventieth birthday party, everyone there kept commenting on how much I looked like my father.  Later that evening, I looked at myself in the mirror and realized I truly did look like my seventy year old father and not in a good way.  So that week I joined a gym and began losing weight.  A side benefit of that decision is … Continued

  Tonight at midnight is the release of A Daring Ride.  When I was writing this story I wanted to explore the idea of a double life to a degree.  So at the beginning of the story Simon is in the closet about his bull riding to his family.  He’s in the closet in other ways as well.  Mom and dad own a Christian bookstore chain.   So climb into the chute and hold on for the ride… If you dare. http://www.dreamspinnerpress.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=4183

Simon “Frizz” Frizzell sneaks away to the rodeo on weekends, and it’s not until after he wins a buckle that he tells his parents about his bull-riding. He knows they won’t approve of his choice of sport, but his parents own a Christian bookstore, and he couldn’t possibly tell them the whole truth: he’s gay. And so are some of his rodeo friends, like Dante and Ryan, and Jacky—a young man he wishes could have been more than a one-night stand. When Simon sets his sights on his dreams, he finds work with Dante and Ryan, and bumps into Jacky … Continued

In Search of a Story – Coming Thursday Night at Midnight

Last October I was at a conference with a friend, Hope. I had finished a novel and was looking for an idea. At the conference I attended a seminar on storytelling and the leader quoted Henningway’s answer to the challenge to tell a story in as few words as possible. His response was “For sale, baby shoes, never worn.” I was fascinated with the idea and after talking it over with Hope the entire ride home, I began this story.
