What I really wanted for Christmas...
December 27, 2013
Didn't get what you really wanted? Loose Id has your back. All books are 25% off for a limited time and... I may or may not have just bought a ton. So um. Here are mine!
The holiday season is almost over, and I hope everyone's safe and happy and got everything they wanted. Or is about to get it, anyhow....
Meet the New Kids
December 15, 2013
First off, apologies for a prolonged absence from blogging. I have a good excuse, though, apart from the holidays (which are always an excuse): I was putting the finishing touches on In Distress, the next installation of Superpowered Love. This one involves Craigslist (Loose Id is doing a thing--details to come), coffee, and superpowered anarchists.
That...

The sale just so happens to include the latest installation of Superpowered Love, Re-entry Burn, which is hefty enough to normally have a $7.99 price tag attached. They've got it on sale...

Return from GRL + Reviews
October 22, 2013
Phewwww what a weekend! Hello to everyone I got to meet at GRL in Atlanta this weekend--and man, there are so many people I MISSED there and that makes me sad. Next time I will be better connected, I swear!
Still, it was epic fun. How many conventions can say they're that friendly, open, and full of strippers?
Wait.
For anyone who wasn't able to come...
Angry Bi Kid Approved Comics: Young Avengers
September 23, 2013
Warning: This blog post contains spoilers for Young Avengers v2 #s 8 and 9.
You know, I've had a half-written review of Kieron Gillen and Jamie McKelvie's Young Avengers v2 for this blog sitting here for, no kidding, three months now. Or since my last comic book update post happened. But this summer has been completely ridic (not in...

September 11, 2013
Today it's time for fun facts about "Willoughby Spit", the freebie short that comes between Riot Boy and Re-entry Burn, for those who'd like to know just what Brady and Etienne have been up to.

First Review!
September 4, 2013
Re-entry Burn got its first review over at Joyfully Jay this morning--along with the freebie short, "Willougby Spit". Jay gives the book 4.75 stars (omg yay!) and says it's highly recommended. As usual over there, the review is in-depth, thoughtful, and really sinks its teeth into some of the stuff I wanted to play with in the book--
So. All the squee.

Willoughby Spit Time
August 20, 2013
AAD was of course fabulous. I fangirled a lot. But I wouldn't be me otherwise, I figure. Ha! There are some great pics from the Vampire Ball and Elemental Masquerade on facebook, if anyone's interested. Everyone was all corseted up to perfection. We had a great time both at the con and in Savannah itself. Which is beautiful.
I gave out a bunch of Willoughby...

July 30, 2013
The Re-entry Burn page has just gotten a huge update to include, yes, excerpts! There's one that involves the Mal's first hook up with Theo, and also an update of that flashback Mal-and-Brady one...
Brady sat down at the edge of my bed and gave me a little shake. “Mal. Malory. Wake up, man.”
“Fuck off,” I said. “It’s, like, three in the morning.”
“Two....

Incoming Super Villain!
July 7, 2013
I am so, so happy to be able to announce that my next book will be some more Superpowered Love: Re-entry Burn! Of course, I'd be excited to announce any book, but this one has a special place in my heart. It's the follow-up to Riot Boy, following what happened to, of all people, Brady's cousin Malory.
Malory by Astro
Yeah, he doesn't...
Comics Update!
May 23, 2013
You know, this was gonna be a regularly scheduled comics update, but it turned into a Young Avengers v2 review/rant. I cut that out and I'm gonna go with that tomorrow. So here's a quick rundown of my other books right now.
Spider Books:
Avenging Spider-Man. Fun. Spider-books are a bit weird atm thanks to Doc Ock taking over his body, but what can you...
Hello and welcome! Today is the International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia, which is, of course, awesome. Cynics, step off; no one's saying today solves the problems. I'm just saying that talking about problems is where the solving starts and how it moves forward, and I love that this hop exists for that purpose. Thanks so much to Erica, K-Lee, NJ,...
I know I haven't done one of these in a while, guys, but I found a bunch of my old comics from high school this weekend while visiting my parents, and Kellan insisted. His favorite bromance, my favorite bromance, Pete and Johnny, Spider-Man and the Human Torch, are back! Time for more Scans from Kellan's Comic Collection. (You can find the old ones in the...

Hey guys!
So I did not announce this, but MeL won the copy Nobody's Hero, so yay for MeL! I was gonna send that last week, but I still haven't figured out where my post office is here in the new digs. So, um. That's incoming this week! Please don't hate me ♥

March 12, 2013
...of Nobody's Hero, yay!
The book is now available in print at both Amazon and B&N (and there's a great deal on it at B&N atm, for the record). But seeing as this is all just in time for St. Patrick's day, Kellan's favorite holiday, it seems like now might be a good time for a giveaway.
So here's the deal. All you have to do is leave a comment...
Nobody's Hero--in Print!

Of course we'll have to do a giveaway for a copy, won't we? Okay, coming as soon as I get settled...
Jock Week!
February 24, 2013
Now for something slightly different! As much as I enjoy discussing superpowered dudes and giving people an excuse to shout, "FBI, MOTHERFUCKER!" (it's a Gabriel thing), the thing is, over at Joyfully Jay, it's:
You will no doubt recall my many posts during the Olympics this summer regarding the virtues of swimming... and swimmers. Possibly a little...

Minor Losing Better update: we have reviews, and they are rather nice, thank you very much.
Jeayci over at Jesswave gives it a 4.5 and says:
Even when I was disliking Gabriel, I was still caught up in the story. Each time I had to set it down, I found myself thinking about it, eager to read more.
Jay over at Joyfully Jay gives it a 4.5...

February 2, 2013
Ooooh the time for Losing Better is almost here. Tuesday! Eee!
Because I just cannot wait any more, I want to introduce y'all to my third man. Yeah, you've met Gabriel and Andrew, the heroes (though their definitions of "hero" are lightyears apart, I guess they both count, to me) if you've popped by the page. But Losing Better has a bonus hero, Kieran,...
