Hello darlings,

Afraid I'm absolutely wrecked today, and I've got to run off and do vaguely responsible stuff this afternoon/tonight, so I leave you with only two things.  First, Nathan Burgoine has done lovely micro-reviews of all of the stories in the I DO TWO volume, and he said some very kind words about Adam and Steve!  All of the reviews are , and the specific review of Two Men is .  I am quite pleased that my little romance is right there alongside what seriously has to be one o...

Hi Internet!

Dang, that week went fast.  Next week I'm working at a big conference, so this weekly ditty may or may not actually be made real, but I'll give it a try, okay?

So this week, I'm thinking a lot about what it means to turn on, to suddenly snap into a mindset for something or other.  I mostly notice this because, two days I week, I dread the evenings.  I don't wanna go run around a field and get tackled and be one of the worst players on the team (hi, ego!) and limp home.  Except I...

Internet, sometimes people are just really awfully cool.

Three Dollar Bill gave I DO, TWO a very positive review, and mentioned Two Men specifically!  Absolutely a massive boost to me!

And the money quote:

"From there, the stories turn contemporary with numerous stand outs that shine and delight. There is Sophia Deri-Bowen's wonderfully entertaining and romantic tale "Two Men: A Fugue" about opposites attracting. The men are creative not only in their lives and appearance but in...

Hello lovelies,

Today looks to be mad, so in lieu of a scrappy mini-essay, here's a tiny ficlet, written for the prompt 'a minute of failure':

A minute of failure, that's what we called it. A minute when the guard was around the corner of the house, and a minute when the security system would be disabled, and a minute to break in. A minute to steal through the darkened house, to trace the path I'd run through on the map and in my mind a thousand times. In through the side door, through the o...

March 31st…nice March is, for whatever reason, always a really lousy month for me. I think this will tart things up a bit!

One of the really popular questions to the authors in the I DO anthologies seems to be 'why did you do it'?  Which is a valid question, although it's one I have trouble wrapping my head around, because my main response is 'why wouldn't I?'.  Why wouldn't you do something good, when all it costs is a little time and creativity?

I am queer, but that's not why I wrote Two Men.  My story is an ode to the beautiful men I knew back home, in Philadelphia and in Delaware, where I went to school.  I...

(The first in what will hopefully be a weekly series of blog entries.  They may not be interesting, or long, and I might sometimes throw in the towel and just post a drabble or excerpt or something, but they'll be here!)

For those of you who are newly-published as well:  do you find yourself pushing your own boundaries of what you like to write, or are drawn to write?  What about those of you who've been writing for ages?

Because I very much am.  Without going into too much detail (in case...

Hello!

You're either here because you bought the I DO, TWO book, out today, and thus have done a mitzvah. Or, you've followed a link from the Valentine's Day chat, and thus have fed my ego delightfully! (Hopefully, followed by the buying the book�>mitzvah sequence.)

I would like to take this space, quickly, to give the Academy Awards speech I never have. Firstly, with great thanks to Lee, Alex and Charlie, who have the patience of saints in herding me through my first simultaneous...

Hey, why not try to update regularly? Yay!

Nothing new on the publications front, other than it's slightly over two weeks until I DO, TWO is released! I am simultaneously excited and absolutely bloody terrified. There is a very, very large world out there, in publication-land, and I understand, essentially, none of it. So, you know, this should be good�

Lots on the writing front. I've somehow managed to keep up writing through starting Spring term, keeping up with the Ladies' Rugby team...
