News

First and foremost, I've completed the full draft of my erotic romance SF novel! Now for rewrites, beta reader feedback and getting it edited. I've found cover art that I like so I'll pay for that this week. Then there's formatting and getting it out there. This will be my first stab at indie publishing do I expect to learn a lot.

In other news, the awesome Debra Hyde will be stopping by this blog on 2/23, the amazing Lisabet Sarai will be my guest on 3/10 and author Sheri Lewis Wohl will be up on 3/22. Who's like to be next? Got a new F/F or lesbian erotic romance or erotica title? Drop me a line and let's chat about being my guest.

Guest blogging and writing update

It's been a busy few weeks in the writing front. I've had 2 new guest blogs out as "other me," am starting some new short fiction (a story per name) and have eked out several thousand more words on the erotica SF novel in progress. The end is in sight! At least for this version. Then, it's on to revisions. Probably after Arisia, where I'll be this coming weekend.
More updates soon!
