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.
Work In Progress - April/May 2012
You’ve probably seen the spate of recent releases in the last month or so, with both Journey’s End and Five At Table now available in all formats. Having two books ready to go at once was something of an accident, the result of setting work on Journey’s End aside, because I wasn’t quite happy with the way one bit was going. I went back to it after I packed Five At Table off to my beta readers, and managed to get past the sticky bits much better.
"Five At Table" Now Available at Amazon and Smashwords
My latest book, Five At Table, is now available at both Amazon and Smashwords. It’s available from these places for the regular price of $2.99, but, there’s still time to purchase it directly from me for the special price of just $1, as described in my previous Early Release post.

Early Release - Five At Table
I just finished the final edits from the last of my wonderful beta/proofreaders last night, and after giving the tweaked ending one more reading this morning, I decided to go ahead and release Five At Table, the sequel to Holding On. The Blurb: David and Gun have been together for nearly two years, and ‘married’, at least in their own eyes, for one. They are happy and secure in their lives.

Journey's End is Published!
Yes, the ‘journey’ I started almost exactly three years ago is finally over. What started as a single book idea fictionalizing the journals of Henri Mouhut has come to an finish with Journey’s End, which is now available on both Amazon and Smashwords. In this final book of the Journeys series, Piero, whose travels are recounted in Journey to Angkor is taking a needed rest in Bangkok with his lover Plai.

The Journey Is Almost Ending
Yes, friends, the “Journeys” series is almost at an end. I finished the third and final book, Journey’s End a few weeks ago and it’s now available for purchase from Smashwords and Amazon (see the book page for links). To celebrate this achievement, and for those of you who haven’t read one or both of the first two books, I’m offering them at Smashwords for 50% off for the rest of this month.

Are Writers Getting Lazy?
It’s not often - in fact I think this is the first time - that I actually write about writing, except when updating you on my works in progress. But some recent discussions over on Goodreads about a book I’ve reviewed have got me thinking about writing in general, and specifically the state of writing in today’s increasingly ebook-dominated world. Since making the switch to reading ebooks more than six months ago, I’ve been doing a lot more reading.

What's Up - January 2012
I haven’t written much about what I’m up to lately, mainly because I haven’t written much. It’s not the usual excuse of the holidays, since I stayed in Bangkok for them. No, what’s kept me busy is moving, and being sick. Funny how that happened. I signed the lease one day, then celebrated with a bowl of yakisoba at my favorite noodle shop, which gave me a bad case of food poisoning.

Coming Soon - Holding On
I’m back at work on my contemporary younger/older, Thai/American D/s story, in what I think are my final changes. I think I may have it ready for a release before Christmas. I’ve been through a few titles for this book - “Deconstructing David” and “Claiming David” among them - but I think I’ve settled on Holding On. It’s not very distinctive, but it’s simple and I think it adequately captures one of the key themes of the story.
