Cover Reveal - Letting Go
The first draft of my next book, Letting Go is well on its way towards completion, so it’s time to start thinking about the cover: Cover - Letting Go Letting Go picks up the story of my last book, Five At Table, more or less where it left off. It continues the tale of David, his husband/Dom/lover Gun, and the three young men that have become part of their family: Tom, Chang and Den.

Review - Papa Knows Best
My rating: 
This review originally appeared at BDSM Book Reviews. Photography teacher Dominick Pappas, called ‘Papa’ by his old friend Ben, is snapping pictures in a cafe one day when he spies the distinguished Professor Bradley Louis, a much older man that Papa is instantly infatuated with. Professor Louis has a reputation for being gruff, but despite Ben’s warnings Papa tries to connect with the older man. He’s rebuffed, but determined, and eventually, after several encounters, Bradley agrees to a date.

Review - The Rabelais Alliance
My rating:
Curtis Marin is a hit man, although he would object strongly to that term. He would probably prefer something more along the lines of ‘avenging angel’. In the almost lawless fringes of the human colonies among the stars, where money and power lets you get away with murder (in other words, not much changes in 700 years), Marin works for a secret organization that, for a price, allows bereaved families to get justice.

Review - Unspoken
My rating:
“Unspoken” is told from the point of view of Stefan, a 30-something working class man in a small-ish Dutch town. He is married with three children as the book opens, and if you asked him, he would probably say he’s happy, except for the problem of finding work to provide for his family in the middle of the depression. Stefan has done what was expected of him; he got married to a good woman, fathered children, and does whatever work he can find to put food on the table for them.

Inspiration - Song of the Loon
My rating:
Song of the Loon by Richard Amory So, I was on my morning bike ride (cardio, don't you know) and this random thought entered my head, which happens a lot. It's how I get a lot of my ideas. Only this random thought was a memory of a book I'd read a few years ago, one that was rather influential for me in my writing, but which I haven't talked about.

Review - Stealing Some Time, Volume 2
My rating:
I read the first volume of Stealing Some Time in print several years ago, well before the ebook era. I liked it enough to want the read the second volume, but by the time I got around to wanting to order it, the book had gone out of print. Fortunately, the book was re-issued in both print and ebook, so I’ve now finally be able to download Volume 2 for a read.

Review - Cawnpore
My rating:
This review originally appeared at Speak Its Name. Cawnpore picks up more or less where the author’s previous work, The White Rajah, left off. Like the first book, this one takes the form of a memoir of the fictional John Williamson. Williamson has parted company with his employer and lover James Brooke after the inquiry into the battles that firmly established Brooke as the “White Rajah”. While Williamson is still in love with Brooke, the ghosts of all the people killed in Brooke’s name has driven a firm wedge between them.
Postcard From America
Okay, this isn’t really from America. I’ve already returned home to Bangkok from one of my infrequent trips there to visit my family. There was something a little different about this trip, a feeling of melancholy in some ways. Of course, a big part of that is the increasingly undeniable fact of my mother’s mortality. At 88 years old, she has survived adult-onset diabetes, breast cancer, and four marriages, but it’s become clear that she’s on borrowed time.
Review - The Viking in My Bed
My rating:
This review first appeared at BDSM Book Reviews. College student Bailey wakes up with a heavy weight on his shoulders, quite literally. There’s a viking in his bed, who seems to know every little secret spot on Bailey’s body that will make him shiver with lust. He assumes the naked Norseman is some kind of prank by his roommates. The blond bronzed god is out of his league. But the viking, Frey, insists he is there for Bailey.

Review [sort of] - Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil
This movie came up the other day, in the very tangential way that things do on Twitter. I decided it might make a good topic for a blog post, since it is one of may favorite movies, which might help explain a few things. [caption id=“attachment_986” align=“alignright” width=“300” caption=“Original movie poster for the theatrical release.”][/caption] The 1997 movie actually is based on a book, which helps make this review a little less off-topic.
