As yet uncontracted but promised to MLR Press

Pairing: m/m

The powers that be at MLR Press have asked for a sequel to Bravo! Brava! and I, weak as I am, agreed to do a sequel to About Something. Not much I can say about it yet, except that it’ll be the continuing story of Shawn and Roscoe. They’re in New York now and I guess everything’s not all settled.

I know I need to turn in the manuscript by August. Not sure when it’d come out after that.

Bravo! Brava! is available now

This is a cool anthology with the common themes being m/m, theatre and cross dressing. Kimberly Gardner and JP Bowie are the other authors.

My story is going to be about Shawn, a talented but flighty college actor–one of my “cute young things”–and Roscoe, the gorgeous, gay professor/director who pushes him to his limits.

ANTHOLOGY BLURB:

Lights, Makeup, Scripts, Costumes . . . Performances! Jet Mykles, J.P. Bowie and Kimberly Gardner entertain us with the magic and mystique of the theatre. From Shakespeare’s gender-bending comedies to the glamour of a Musical Revue, we’re whisked backstage for an intimate glimpse of the drama, romance and rumors (and maybe even a little mystery) behind the curtain. Find out what it takes for a man to carry off a skirt and heels. Follow the men who wait in the wings for those behind the fake breasts and makeup. BRAVO! BRAVA!

This is a very cool anthology. Kimberly Gardner and JP Bowie are the other authors.

A little bit of cross dressing action. This excerpt isn’t exactly sexy maybe, but I think it gives a nice idea of the dynamic between Shawn and Roscoe before the true romance starts.

BTW, Shawn is in COLLEGE so he’s old enough to be in one of my stories.

BLURB:

Switch roles? Roscoe may be a brilliant director, but Sean wants no part of this crazy idea. But when Roscoe suggests that Sean and his leading lady swap Beatrice for Benedict in their college’s production of Much Ado About Nothing, everyone else thinks it’s a terrific idea. Trapped by peer pressure and the awareness that Roscoe usually knows what he’s doing, Sean accepts the challenge only to quickly discover that he likes wearing skirts, both on and off stage. Even more than that, he likes the director’s reaction when he flashes a little leg.

Bonnie held Shawn’s upper arms, staring down into his eyes. “With no sauce that can be devised to it. I protest / I love thee.”

Shawn clutched at her elbows, lowering his gaze and twisting his head to the side, facing the audience. “Why, then, God forgive me!”

Bonnie cupped Shawn’s jaw with her palm, urging his face upward. “What offence, sweet Beatrice?”

“You have stayed me in a happy hour: I was about to / protest I loved you.” Shawn let his voice go breathy just before raising his eyes to meet Bonnie’s.

She put her arms around him, pulling him closer. “And do it with all thy heart.”

He put his arms around her, smiling. “I love you with so much of my heart that none is / left to protest.”

Bonnie leaned down, tilting her head for the kiss.

“Stop.” continue reading

Isn’t he purty? I’d share some comfort with him any day!

So this is the upcoming from MLR Press. I think we’re trying to get it out by Thanksgiving. Nice line up, huh? I’ve read 2 of the other stories and they’re fabulous!

It’s not up on the upcoming page at the publisher site. Not sure why. But it is coming. I’ve already turned in my story.

Due out early 2009 from MLR Press

It’ll be another short story in an anthology, this time with some of my friends. Namely, JL Langley, Ally Blue, Kimberly Gardner, Brenda Bryce and Willa Okati. Should be a lot of fun. Shapeshifters and cowboys and hot manlove, what could be better than that?

BLURB for the anthology:

Unknown to Daniel Calhoun, the woman he married isn’t entirely human. Yi is a something of a mage, of Chinese descent and she’s struck out on her own to America to be free of her family. She met and married Daniel with hopes and dreams of being a rancher’s wife like she’s seen on television. Ranching is nothing like she expects, nor are the men on Daniel’s ranch. Bored with Daniel, she leaves, cryptically revealing she’s not quite human. She curses Daniel and the men left behind, trying them to the land they love so much and forcing them to show their true natures.

This story’s been called Finger Foods and then Past Your Lips and I thought I’d settled on Mother Hen, but then the rightful title of Devon Cream came up and was blessed by my editor. For those who don’t know, Devonshire Cream–or Devon Cream–is rather popular in the UK as a spread for scones.

BLURB

When Steven helps his neighbor Devon move into the studio apartment upstairs, he can’t help but drool. And that’s all. Devon is straight and totally off limits. Knowing, though, doesn’t stop the desire Steven fights every time the two men are together, which is a lot since Steven has decided to take Devon under his wing until the young man can get his life together

In Blood Claim I’ll be keeping company with Laura Baumbach and Angela Fiddler.

My very first published vampire story!!

This volume features a trio of M/M tales from three of the genre’s hottest authors.
Winner Takes All by Laura Baumbach — Two vampires face off in a deadly bet that has the winner claiming everything the loser owns–including the loser’s innocent, unaware human offspring.
Gift of the Raven by Angela Fiddler — Cory has always been mercurial; passionate one second and frozen the next, but when he was hot, he was scorching. Luke had brought him up as a vampire but couldn’t keep him the first time around. But now evil’s come on an arctic wind, and they’ll need each other to fight it.
Wolfe’s Recluse by Jet Mykles — Can Wolfe lure Matt out of his apartment for the first time in two years? Is the gorgeous Wolfe temptation enough for Matt to overcome his fear of vampires?

“Damn it,” Joshua muttered, spinning at the sound of running footsteps at his back. He brought his weapon on guard and faced the next man who wanted to try and take down the pirate captain. This time he kept only cleared deck and bodies to his back, taking on the two that came at him, parrying ably with the cutlass, enough to keep one at bay and flick the tip of his rapier across the face of the other. continue reading
