By the River

July 31, 2012

New book! So By the River now exists as a real thing. So far, there are a few ways to get it--and I'll update the lists and stuff as more roll in. One more time, prettycover for the win~ 1. Loose Id. Always the best! You may or may not know that LI's server recently went splat, so while they're rebuilding the store, stuff is only available for insta-download...

Bathtub Love

July 30, 2012

I realize, of course, that taking a bath should leave you squeaky clean. I mean, that's the point. But Leith, our little By the River waterbug, does not agree. I must bow to his expertise. If you head over to Pants Off Reviews today, you can find one half of a full-on sex scene that, hopefully, will inspire pants-losing. That was the deal: it's...

Gold Medal

July 29, 2012

In a day or two, I will probably unleash a fury of "OH HEY I HAVE A NEW BOOK" upon this blog. I sincerely apologize for being so horrible about it, but I am just that excited about By the River on Tuesday. It's so different from my others and so exciting to start a new project--please forgive me for being all, "Oh and I'll be here, and here, and doing...

Heads up!

July 26, 2012

Couple of items in today's news around here. 1. Today there's a question that could win you a copy of Nobody's Hero. Check out the big old party over at TRR for details: Nobody's Hero is on the list today, but there's still a full week of party before it all ends. So if you haven't been playing along at home, oh man. So much awesome. 2. The GR feed version...

Wet half-naked swimmer boy

July 24, 2012

Now there's a subject line to get someone's attention! Fun fact: There are few pleasures in life greater than the sight of a wet, half-naked swimmer. Don't believe me? Oh, you've probably never seen Ryan Lochte, then. Let me help. Man, the summer Olympics make feel so... patriotic. God bless America, amiright? *cough* Annnnnyhow, I've got my own...

Superpowered Worlds

July 19, 2012

Hey y'all! No, no, I'm not back to rant some more. Just a heads up that I got to be a part of... Spectacular Series Week over at Joyfully Jay. Yeeeeah! My topic is "The Links that Bind", in which I discuss linked series like the superpowered romances I do--the ones nicknamed "superpowered love", yes. Unlike the Fairy Compacts series, the superpowered love...

The "B" word

July 17, 2012

Here's something that will surprise no one: I like writing bisexual and pansexual characters. Like, a lot. Here's a count, so far: Sam* and HansenBrady and EtienneJamie and KellyAeron* and TamAdam* and Leith The little star of course indicating a bi or pansexual character. No, definitely not trying to imply that they're the same thing, and each character...

Equilibrium/Riot Boy

July 15, 2012

Wahey, look who's going to print in, like, a month or two: Cover by PL Nunn Yeah. So, Sam, Hansen, Brady, and Etienne, all in one smashing little book. I am full of glee, lemme tell you. Happy birthday, Sammy :D More news as things develop, but I just had to share because... yeah. Rad...

Birthday Stuff

July 12, 2012

No, not my birthday, but Sam MacLeod's. Sam's the dude on the right, has the electricity and the adorable geek of a roommate: Yeah, I know, it's weird to get excited about a character's birthday, but the thing is, it's actually not just Sam's. It's my best friend, Tara's, and Sam is hers. I wrote Equilibrium for her, and by design Sam has a looooooooot...

Enthralled

July 10, 2012

Cover art by Ruxandra Lache Yeah. I know, right? How's that for an ice-breaker? While I'm chillin' over here in the calm before my By the River storm, I've been--well, not chillin' at all. I've been prepping #2 of the Fairy Compacts series, a large part of which has included working with the wonderful Ruxandra on cover and interior illustrations. Ruxandra's...

The Amazing Spider-Man Post

July 8, 2012

Okay, so, as previously noted, Spider-Man is kinda my thing. I'm still being pretty tentative about getting back into 616* Spider-Books, though, since Amazing Spider-Man broke my heart with a shitty Gwen Stacy-fucked-Norman-Osborne plot some years back. This is a love-hate cycle I have: Marvel does awesome things, I open my fangirl heart to them again, and...

Reviews and Fairy Tales

July 6, 2012

A few fun things happened this week, so here's the deal: 1. The second installation of Fairy Compacts, Life as a Fairy Thrall, is not only written, but is being edited and, yes, illustrated even as I type this. Wee! There are also a few more places to get your totally free copy of the first one now if you're not a GoodReads user, so check out the page...

Happy Independence Day!

July 4, 2012

Okay, I realize that was about Transformers, but I am totally going to see The Amazing Spider-Man tomorrow with my dad so... sorta relevant? Anyhow, two of Kellan's favorite things: 4th of July family shindig and Spidey. So relevant to this blog, anyhow! Happy Independence Day to y'all Americans. If you're into that. In honor of...
