Journeys Series Re-released
I’ve just completed a refresh and re-issue of The Journeys series. This includes my very first fiction book, “Journey to Angkor.” Back when I wrote these in 2009 through 2012, the only tools writers had were basic spell checkers. Now we have much more sophisticated tools that can check grammar, syntax, and a whole range of issues. They aren’t perfect, since they rarely understand context or dialog, but they can help a writer identify a lot of things that editors and proofers can easily miss.

Good Dawg Published!
After siting “on the shelf” for nearly ten years, I'm please to announce that I've published my latest book, “Good Dawg.” I started this book shortly after I returned to the United States while I was still looking for work. It was more or less complete when a job turned up, and then work and settling into a new life distracted me. The story never completely left me, as I would often turn scenes over and over in my head.
Something's. . . Different
Why, yes, thank you for noticing. The site does have a new look and feel. It’s been well over the last update, so it was time for a refresh. But the changes are more than cosmetic. I’ve unleashed my geek and completely replaced the ’engine’ that runs the site. Out went WordPress and in came a new framework called October. Now, I’ve got nothing against WordPress, but c’mon, everybody uses it, and I’ve never been fond of doing what everyone else does.
The Non-Con Conundrum
My recent read and review of Slave in Training got me thinking about a number of things - and that’s one of the big reasons I liked it. One of the aspects I liked about the book was the consensual nature of the protagonist’s enslavement. He chooses life as a slave and is given several opportunities throughout the story to give up the path he has chosen. What struck me most about this was just how rare this is in most M/M Master/slave books coming out these days.
Worlds Apart is Published!
My latest book, Worlds Apart, is finally published, or in the process of being published through all the major online book stores. It’s already available for Kindle readers and apps from Amazon, in Mobi (Kindle) and ePub formats from All Romance Ebooks, and in all formats from Smashwords. It will take around another two weeks or so to get into some of the specialty stores like iTunes and B&N. For those that haven’t seen it, here is the book blurb:

New Version of The Naga's Treasure, and I'm on ARE
I’ve got a couple of new, well, new-ish, things to tell you about: The Naga’s Treasure First, the really new thing, because I just finished it, is a new edition of one of my earliest books, The Naga’s Treasure. I’ve been a little surprised at how well this book continues to do. This was one of those books (and there have been more since) that just took root in my head and emerged in long sessions at the keyboard over the course of a few weeks.
