Apocalypse Woman available again!
The last time I posted in this blog was six months ago. Ay yai yai! A lot has happened since then. My former publisher, Aphrodite's Apples, closed and my debut novel Apocalypse Woman was left without a home. With no product to sell and no means of selling it, I kept a low profile. And by low I mean non-existant.
But I am pleased to announce that a new publisher, Dark Roast Press, has picked up my novel and it is available for download again. Just follow the link below and you'll be on your way to reading what I believe is the best piece of dark fantasy erotica you'll ever see. Then again, I might be biased.

Survey
I was tagged by Kayleigh Jamison to list sixteen random facts about me. As Kayleigh is the goddess who selected Apocalypse Woman for publication, the least I can do is comply. Then I must tag ten other people, but since she only tagged five herself, I think I can get away with a similar number.
16) The first novel I ever wrote was inspired not by any novel or film, but by two rock operas: Pink Floyd's The Wall and Queensryche's Operation: Mindcrime. I am still trying to get that manuscript pub...

New Year's Resolution: 24 novels in one year: book 4
I'm one sixth of the way there, and I got there on a bicycle. Unfortunately some of my molecules permanently merged with the bicycle's and vice versa.
This and other dilemmas are topics of The Third Policeman by Flann O'Brien.
I hate to be a lemming or a sheeple or whatever, but like many readers of this book I read it because the producers of the TV series Lost told me to. And boy am I glad they did.

Quote I had to share.
This was the quote on my desktop calendar today:
"I write when I'm inspired, and I see to it that I'm inspired at nine o'clock every morning."
-Peter De Vries (1910-93)
Peter De Vries was an American novelist, not the Mentat of House Harkonnen.

Productive!
I think I am finally getting into the hang of writing every single day. I'm very fortunate to have a job that lets me get writing done during the day. After a year of working a ten hour a day job where writing was impossible I am very, very appreciative.
AW-to-AI-gap-bridging-short story is growing by leaps and bounds. I vowed to keep it a short story, but if it winds up a novella I really don't care. I'm having too much fun with it. I am still sticking to a greater economy of language then I've used in the past so the result is a lot more fast-paced and easy to read, I think. Unfortunately, for the life of me I can't think of a title. So it's still Rose's Thorn even though that title doesn't have anything much to do with the story at this point.
Thanks to a twelve hour day in the middle of the week and the boss being out of the office all week I've been able to get a lot of writing on it done. Also, Aphrodite's Apples has announced the next installment of their fantasy GLBT anthology series and I'm going to try and get a piece done for that. I have a short F/F piece I wrote about a year ago and never did anything with that I'm thinking about dusting off.
Now that this update has thoroughly thrilled you all, back to writing.

Fun with pseudonymns
Super Publishing Mama posted this a few days back and I meant to repost it as well.
And yes I do know a few authors on that list.
Being a male author in a genre where male authors are a rarity and occasionally viewed with some suspicion I've often toyed with the idea of creating a female nomme de-plume as I know some men in my situation do. I think I've finally hit upon one that's crazy enough that I actually like it: TESS LACOIL
And if anyone asks why I write under that name I'll say something corny like "because my erotica is really INVENTIVE and it creates a lot of SPARKS!"
And all will go well until a writer named Edison comes along and plagarizes me. And then I will cry.

New Year's Resolution: read 24 novels in one year: 2/24 read
I'm one twelfth of the way there!
Reviews of the first two:
Assassin's Apprentice by Robin Hobb
The prince of a coastal kingdom sires a bastard son and is forced to relinquish his claim to the throne in the ensuing scandal. Without even the dignity of a proper name, the child is left in the care of an alcoholic stablemaster and then forgotten about... until the day the king decides that such an overlooked and inconspicuous person would make an ideal candidate for his new professional assassin.

It's good to free your mind.
My first actual writing-related update of the New Year. Apocalypse Woman's follow-up, Apocalypse Incarnation is progressing... well, it's not. Writing it has been a continual frustration and I've decided the whole story needs to be reworked from the beginning.
Long story short, to make events unfold as I'd planned I was going to have to do something horrible to one of the characters; as in horrible even by Apocalypse standards. While this series is all about dark, edgy, morally ambiguous stuf...
