see ya
Gone for a week with extremely limited net access and NO cell service. Gah. If you need me, email. I'll check as often as I can, which likely won't be often at all.

Meet me in the Caribbean, peeps. I'll buy you a pina colada.

I had to stop watching the news while I was putting my makeup on this morning because I kept tearing up.

Rock on, California. May others follow in your stead. :x

book rec
A few months ago my pea wrote a book called Merge, which actually became two books because the awesomeness was too much to contain in just one book. The first title ended up being called Converge and ended on a really, really good cliffhanger.

Wait no longer! The second part came out yesterday and is called Merge. Both titles are available for a discount, yay!

Here's the site blurb: Picking up where Chris Owen's Converge left off, Finn has crossed into Ari's dimension, but now what? He's a man without a past, without papers, and he can't get home. Now that he and Ari are together in body as well as spirit, they can move their relationship forward. But the uncertainty of Finn's status, and Finn's unfamiliarity with Ari's dimension, are definitely standing in their way.

On top of that, something strange is going on. People in Ari's dimension are not only disappearing, they're reappearing again days later. Tracking the news and combining it with the information he has about dimensions and Between, Finn begins to suspect that his appearance in Alpha and these strange happenings are connected for sure.

As he and Ari work together to help Finn adjust to Ari's life, their quest for a way to restore communication with Alpha begins. Through some clues from Alpha, and an unexpected revelation about Finn's friend Blake, Finn and Ari find someone who might be able to help him. But is the potential cost to them -- and to Finn's friends and family back in Alpha -- worth the attempt?


This book is GOOD. I've read it all, I will read it again, and the print copy will soon be in my hot little hands. Give it a try, for reals.


CONVERGE
MERGE

Anyone have any information on the release date of the enV2? All I can find is that it's supposed to be in April or May, and when I called the oh so helpful Verizon store, the dude said they don't give release dates, they give release *quarters*. Then the other Verizon dude said all he could tell me was it would be out before June.

Wtf.

Also, it's Tuesday. In my world, Tuesday = Gordon Ramsay night. ILU, Chef.

Boy, do I have a deal for you. :D

New story. Short one. But CHEAP, good lord, you wouldn't find prices this good at the Salvation Army, if the Salvation Army sold discount erotic M/M fiction. And by CHEAP, I mean less than TWO American dollars. A lot less. Go seeeeeee.

WINGED

Little snip. And I mean little, because this thing is short. But cute.

On the first day of summer, Rory Donovan woke up to find wings. )

new story! sort of.
A couple of years ago I wrote a little story for Torquere Press' Birthstone line. I was asked if I wanted to renew the contract on it and make it a Single Shot Classic, so I said sure and last night it became available!

It's really a sweet little story, and probably the only time I will EVER delve into fantasy. And I still think it's more contemporary than fantasy, but you can judge for yourselves. :)) Here's a little snip:

Umm... hi?

Wow, it's been over a month since I've posted any kind of real content. This school year has been very.... challenging, shall we say? Yeah. Let's call it challenging. In the way that I'm falling down tired every night and absolutely miserable in the mornings. Plus, it's parent conference week, so I'm almost dizzy. Then again, I suppose I'm grateful to have a job, judging from the horrid financial state of affairs that education has become.

There's been drama here and there, I've noticed. In my livejournal life, in my publishing life, in my real life. Some good and some bad. I've met a few deadlines and am working on others. I have plans to co-write a couple of things. I have visitors coming. I'm going on vacation, twice. It's almost spring. These things are good. I want to be less tired so I can be happy about the good, but that will happen in April, probably.

My puppy disapproves.





Hi there.

mememememe time
I'm supposed to be editing things. So instead, here's a meme from the delightful [info]bigboobedcanuck.

People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question they dislike with a new question formulated bythemselves. Tag 8 people. Those who are tagged cannot refuse. These 8 people must state who they were tagged by. You cannot tag the person who tagged you. Continue this game by sending this to 8 other people.

You have $50 in your pocket. What do you do with it? )

Since I answered all the questions given and didn't change any, I'll make up my own rule and not tag 8 people. I expect the LJ police to find me any minute now.
