New Contract: Playing Ball Anthology

baseballandgloveI’m happy to announce that three writer/baseball-fan friends and I have signed contracts with Dreamspinner Press for a new anthology of baseball-themed stories. Playing Ball features novellas from me, Kerry Freeman, Marguerite Labbe, and Kate McMurray. The tentative publication date will be late September. To say we’re excited is an understatement! :)

Brief descriptions of the stories are after the cut.

Hi there! Thanks for stopping by my blog. I'm happy to be participating in the Hop Against Homophobia, and I'm even happier that you're taking the time to check out my contribution. I'm going to address the serious part of why I'm here first, and then I'll get to the fun stuff. :)

When I started thinking about what I wanted to say in this post, I kept coming back to the same beginning point: Christianity.

I let time get away from me and wasn't able to sign up for the Hop Against Homophobia this year, so instead, here's a link to last years post. It still applies. Well, except the giveaway parts, sorry. :) (Also sorry about the old logo. Should've fixed that before I reblogged. I haven't had my coffee yet!)

Reality 301 with @heidicullinan

Reblogged from The Amazon Iowan:

Tonight Twitterverse roared with outrage over Kendall Grey’s post on Authors for Life where she bemoans the fact that sometimes, publishing is hard. Grey spent four years writing and a great deal of money and effort promoting an urban fantasy trilogy; it tanked. She wrote an erotic novel she describes as a “piece of trash” in two months, spent much less in promotion and gave it much less effort, and that book made some decent money.

I told Heidi I was glad she was posting on this subject, because my response would likely read more like ARRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH.

Coming Soon to Charlie Harding Presents!

Happy to announce that I’ve just signed a contract with Wilde City Press for my scifi erotic menage short story “Fringes.” The story will appear as part of their Charlie Harding Presents line. Charlie is an adult film star (among other things) and a friend of mine who invited me to submit (heh). No release date yet, but it looks like late July or August.

This is story number 13 for me, and publisher number 5! Yes, I practice literary promiscuity. ;)

Butt Pirates are Coming Soon!

Butt Pirate in Space CoverYes, you’re reading that title right. Butt Pirates in Space (yes, you should read that as “IN SPAAAACE!”) is a new anthology coming later this week from MLR Press. It includes my short story “What to Expect When Your Boyfriend Is Expecting.” Yes, it’s MPREG… well, sort of.

The blurb:

A year after his arrival on the planet Lalande with a group of Earth scientists, Zeke’s had a lot of adjustment to do. He sure never expected to fall in love with a Lalandian, much less for Zeph to end up pregnant. And just about the time Zeke gets used to that idea, their unborn child draws the attention of more than just the scientific community. When kidnappers strike in the form of a band of privateers, Zeke has to put all his wits to work to outsmart them and reunite his family.

The anthology itself came out of a kind of crazy panel at Outlantacon last year, and we’ll be having a follow-up panel and release party at Outlantacon this year. Kage Alan is already insisting that, next year, we go for butt ninjas.

Those sneaky bastards.
