The road to darkness is paved with good intentions�

Brandon willingly took that first step into darkness to keep his young sister from having to do it. Their mother had died a lingering death that drained the family of resources and their father turned to the wrong people to keep their head above water. Payment was due and money is not the only currency that could be paid.
To save his family he sold his innocence
To save his sisters he sold his body
To save his love he sold his soul
Why?
That’s what brothers do

Why do I say 2016 sucked well David Bowie and Prince died. In February, on Valentine's Day, I almost died from a ruptured gall bladder and resulting septicemia kept in the hospital for the entire month. I've lost fifteen pounds, not in a good way. Finally in the month of October I have some stamina back. Add to the mix my publisher SLPG claimed to go on hiatus for a year back in 2015 only to shut down completely in 2016. So I've gotten back That's What Brother's Do: Redux,and Coupage : Book 4 of the Blood Nation Novels. As in the past, no one is interested in picking up these novels because of the darkness. I will send out a few more inquires and if there are no nibbles, I will do what I did when I started, publish it myself.

So 2016 is not my favorite year but I will survive it...oh, yes I will and you do too my Loyal and True. Kiixy out.

So let's do a wrap up of 2014 and set the sights on the horizon of 2015. So...hmmmm, oh! Cinnamon was released in...oh good lord, 2013. Coupage : Book 4 of the Blood Nation is with the publisher and they are restructuring this year (so at the moment it's not looking good for dropping in 2015) but they do want to do another Blood Nation Manga. I made it out to Yaoi-con in San Fran and that was a fiasco of errors and I thank everyone who helped me in my situation when I did get out there. I signed books, hawked the publisher's wares and bishie watched and drooled.

Kiixink Publishing -- which is me-- produced Powerline: Nicholas Book One with a marvelous cover by Scarlet Tie Designs (2013/14) was released and I entered it into the Rainbow Awards. I was a top ten finalist! Powerline: Magnus Book Two, once again with a smoking cover by Scarlet Tie Designs, came out in October. The adventures of Nicky and Mags continues on and will come to a climatic finale in the later part of 2015.

I have taken back control of That's What Brothers Do from SLPG and will work on getting this new version out in the spring.

Now, Heart of a Saytr is back under my wing and it needs a total re-write. I will concentrate on TWBD first and we will go forward from there.

Thanks for sticking around. I hope to have more deliciousness out to you soon.

We are almost at our goal. We have two days to get $400 worth of pledges before Saturday.

SLPG has decided to offer with another incentive - a perk if you will. Any one who has pledged to THE BLOOD NATION graphic novel will be in on a draw for autographed copies of

Cake: Book One of the Blood Nation Novels
Cinder: Book Two of the Blood Nation Novels
and
Cinnamon: Book Three of the Blood Nation Novels.

(A $60 value)

We are almost there. Help us out at

I'm back begging on my knees - not really because I can't get back up without help lately. The kickstarter fundraiser is down to it's final five days. We are close to our goal but are still in need of pledges.

The publisher SLPG has offered up free downloads of BBN volume 2 if a friend pledges $25 or more. $750 away from our goal. Pass the link around to those Yaoi minded individuals. Sample pages are on the kickstart link.

We have 29 days to raise the project funding. If the target is reached the manga will be available by September at Yaoi-Con 2014. If we go over, the funds would be used to get the next edition out.
(You know how much I love to write so one manga cannot contain me)

I have seen the first three pages and they are freaking amazing. So help out if you can. Minimum pledge is one buck and every buck helps us draw a... well you get the picture.

Nicky walked out of the Wild into the civilized world and within a few years he carved out a territory with a selected pack of loyal gang members. He had a secret to keep that not only could affect his hard won territory but also his very existence. Secrets are always found out, especially when that secret involves magic.

Magic was the backbone of the Miradryl Empire; wherever magic can be found the Empire moves to take it as its own. Those who can wield that power are the chosen and the privileged few.

King Tiger, Battle Mage Arthur Magnus is searching for a special kind of battery, a Latent � a person who could control energy. The discovery of a new powerful source leads him to this backwater world. His intention was to force a union between them but then the magic decided to bond them forever.

Nicky and Magnus found themselves mage mated, not only was their magic intertwined but now their lives were as well. Their hearts were another matter.
