The Armchair Reader: Cold Hands Receives 5 Stars

Cold Hands received 5 stars from Cole Riann at The Armchair Reader. Again, the review is very carefully composed and Cole put a lot of thought into it. I love such reviews ^.^

Snippet:

"The real difference between the first story and the second isn’t the point of view, but in the focus of their relationship. If you look at these stories together as one, then this story is the payoff. The first was the setup, the background and the premise — the meetings in the dark with Casper’s “secret admirer” and the subsequent reveal of his real identity — but, Cold Hands is the meat and bones of their relationship. This story carries on to peel back the layers and find out if these guys have a solid base to build any relationship upon and how they go about doing that."

New Cover and Book of the Month!

I finally got around to creating that cover for the free story: Half-Baked Promises. It's the one I wrote for the Love is Always Write event for the Goodreads M/M Romance group. I don't have Photoshop or anything like that, so it was just plain old PowerPoint, but I think it turned out okay. Now I just have to figure out what standardized texts I'll need at the beginning...

I was very excited to learn that Absolutely Eric was chosen as the Book of the Month for that same M/M Romance Group on Goodreads! Thanks to everyone who voted. Someone's also nominated A Life Without You for next month, but I doubt I'll get this lucky twice in a row. I'm very happy with and honored by this month's BoM.

While I'm at it, Absolutely Eric can now be bought in paperback from Amazon, B&N and other places.

More news:

My buddy NJ Nielsen has released her first novel! It was released by MLR Press last Friday and it's called Rules Are Meant To Be Broken. It's a vampire story and like everything else Norma produces it's very fresh with a great voice. It's the first in a very long series called The Lines of Marsden. I was lucky to have read this while it was in the editing stages, but I hear it's changed quite a bit since (I've bought a copy and am about to read it!).

Another buddy of mine, the super cute Cole Riann, has opened his own review site: The Armchair Reader. It doubles as his own personal blog. Cole's a very cool guy. He likes reading, knitting and baking. And vikings. We have a lot in common! Though...the most I've managed to knit are hats and mittens. I never got the hang of socks. I do love baking though and vikings are totally my thing ^.^
