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.

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.

A nameless narrator who has devoted his life to the study of an eccentric philosopher named de ...

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.

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.

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.

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...
