Well I’ve uploaded Power Play to Lulu and am just waiting for my proof copy before I approve it, but here’s a small version of the new cover. The book is about a hundred pages shorter than the iUniverse version (what font size did they use?) and will sell for four dollars less. Not much, mind you, because the story is so damn long, but it’s a little break, at least. And the new cover is cool. Gotta love hand-drawn fan art! It’s the same artist who did the cover for Vince.

In other news, I’m moving along on Beautiful Liar. Not sure if I’ll hit my target deadline of the end of the month, but I’ll finish the story if it’s the last thing I write. For the record, this is the first book in a series entitled Beautiful Men ~ four non-related contemporary stories which center around less than perfect main characters.

The things that were bothering me this time last week have begun to bother me again. I’m not sure where the remaining two stories in the Working Man series stand at the moment, and a story I submitted to one publisher but never heard a response from will be submitted elsewhere tonight.

I also haven’t received the release letter for my Vic & Matt story. If I don’t get it, I’m going to give the story away as a free read through All Romance eBooks. If I do get it, then the story goes to Amber Allure Press. Either way, it’ll be published outside of the anthology it was originally slated for, but I’d rather have the letter to show I have the rights back (even if they were non-exclusive).

In other news, I have an idea for a new series, which I hope to publish next year. It’ll center around sports, which should be fun, what with the Olympics coming up and all. Nothing solid yet, just ideas at this point, but I have to look ahead, no?

I also plan to submit a novel-length story to Torquere Press next year. And a YA novel to Prizm Books by the end of the summer. And let’s not forget the second book in the Beautiful Men series as well as a final story in my Brance and Caleb series (Between States) and another fun visit to the world of Vic & Matt in The Powers of Love series. Oh, and the last three stories of The Positions of Love series which I still need to write.

This is why I can’t sleep at night.

Last week I had an idea to put my free e-book Cowboy into print, if only to make it available to those readers who aren’t into e-books yet. So I made the cover (you like?) and the book file, and went to Lulu’s website today to purchase a distribution package.

Only to find that their basic service is free.

For how long, I don’t know. They don’t exactly announce these things, and I’m really glad I caught it when I did, as I’m not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. So in a heated rush, I “bought” distribution packages not only for Cowboy but also for Between Brothers, Conflict of Interest, and Bones of the Sea.

What’s this mean? Basically nothing, if you’ve already bought and read these stories. But in about a month’s time, the books will appear for sale in online bookstores such as Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Also, you’ll be able to special order them through your local bookstores, including independent GLBT venues.

And those of you who really like Cowboy will now be able to own a copy in print. The free e-book will stay on my site, too, so don’t worry.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program.
