Posted in New Releases

A Courageous Ride Releases at midnight the morning of March 31 and I thought I would provide you all a sneak peek excerpt.   Aspiring orchestra conductor Marshall is exhausted after months of auditions without a single job offer. Marshall’s friend, Terry, recommends a change of scenery and points Marshall in the direction of a dude ranch run by former bull rider Indigo Santana. Marshall is understandably skeptical, but his friend is convincing, and Marshall needs a break, so he agrees to go. Indigo captures Marshall’s attention but leaves him confused. Indigo’s confidence is shot after an injury ended his … Continued

A Courageous Ride is releasing March 31 and I am already getting a wonderful response from the early reviews.  Both Sid Love and Mrs. Condit and Friends have given it wonderful reviews. With this story, I decided I wanted to create two different characters form two different worlds, throw them together and see what happened.  What I got was a story that really spoke to me about the power of love and deciding what was truly important.  I also got to explore the therapeutic aspects of love and healing on many levels.   Aspiring orchestra conductor Marshall is exhausted after months of … Continued

  Coming Out and Going Home Hey, y’all! How goes it? First and foremost, I want to thank Andrew for hosting me on his blog. He is one of my favorite people on earth and I love him more than I love my luggage (trust me, it’s a compliment – I have purple luggage with green olives. I adore it). I was sitting and pondering life how much mine has changed in the last few years. I’ve moved. We’ve lost Julia’s dad. I came out of the closet. We have our first grandnephew, my baby-iest sister got married. J and … Continued

The Story Behind Love Comes Home

Tags: , , , , , ,

Love Comes Home started when sports reporters were talking about baseball.  I rarely listen to baseball, but I was on an extended trip and had NPR on the car’s satellite radio.  Of course NPR has a sports reporter who was doing a color story around baseball.  But being NPR, he chose something different.  That was the day I heard about Beepball for the first time.  They were at a game and mostly it sounded like any other baseball game, coaches giving instruction, parents yelling encouragement.  Then it got silent and all that came through was a moving beeping sound.  As … Continued

One Good Deed releases tonight at midnight from Dreamspinner Press. This story is special to me and its one of Dominic’s favorites. Many of the themes in this story were his idea and I’m very happy with it. I hope you will be too.   Blurb Luka Krachec immigrates to the United States to find his cousin dead and his cousin’s wife hospitalized after a terrible accident. He meets Peter Montgomery at the funeral. The American seems nice and captures Luka’s attention when he offers to help him with his English. Peter has spent most of his life believing he … Continued

  I did a short video reading of an excerpt from Dumped in Oz.  I like doing readings of my work and since I can’t be there with you, I thought I would do a video reading instead.  The scene comes from the end of the first chapter of the story where Lyle and Roger first begin to notice one another.  I hope you like it.     Because of an opportunity he’d be a fool to turn down, Lyle Powers transfers to his company’s warehouse in central Kansas. The last thing he expects is to meet another gay man … Continued

Neither Lyle nor Roger is looking for a relationship, and they fumble at the start, yet emotions build as Roger shows Lyle the landmarks of Oz. But when Roger’s wicked witch of an ex-wife threatens to take … Continued

I Spent Time In OZ

This past summer, I had to go on a business trip for the Evil Day Job I don’t have any longer.  I ended up in Kansas in June.  It was surprisingly green with rolling hills and river valleys.  Not the sort if place I expected to like, but it was quite lovely.   The trip required that I spend the weekend.  On Saturday I worked most of the day and on Sunday we needed something to do and on the freeway, we’d seen a sign for the Oz Winery in Wamego.  We had to see what that was all about and … Continued
