It’s been a busy few months, to say the least, so I’m playing catch-up a lot. Last Wednesday was the re-release of my novella Accidental Fall, and I did a few blog posts and got a few reviews. J
On Saturday, September 17, MM Good Book Reviews hosted me with a post about the re-release of Accidental Fall and an excerpt.
Last Thursday, I was at Love Bytes to talk about how much I adore the city of Chicago, where Accidental Fall is set.
And this past Saturday, my regular Outside the Margins post at Prism Book Alliance was all about my favorite season of the year.
As for reviews, well, hey, I think people like the story:
The Blogger Girls: “It was an easy, light-on-angst story – which was definitely good for something in between more serious/heavy novels.”
Divine Magazine: “All the feelings between them I felt it…..all the body language…the faltering, the drooping, the flushed faces, the hitched breath, all those little signals. I loved the bubble.”
Diverse Reader: “Accidental Fall is a sweet, fluffy, fun read. Two roommates, both with secrets finding love from each other.”
The Novel Approach: “If you are looking for a cute and quick read that doesn’t get too angsty and leaves you with a smile, this story could definitely be for you.”
Rainbow Book Reviews: “If you’re looking for a story about real guys with real issues, if you like them to have a past that influences current behavior, and if a slowly growing sexual and emotional tension that grips you and doesn’t let you go are your thing, then you will probably like this novella.”
Oh My Shelves: “It was sweet short new adult story. Both guys have time to grow and figure out if this is what they want. I enjoyed it.”
Alpha Book Club: “The chemistry it sweet and shy at first building as the story progresses. The story has a pretty steady pace with a HEA ending.”
In other news, last night sent my next novella, Heart & Soul, off to a final beta. I’m working on scheduling a cover reveal (it’s another gorgeous AngstyG design), and the release date is set for November. And meanwhile, I’m working steadily away on Graphite & Glitter, another novella for self-publishing and my first F/F story. Woot!
Currently writing: Graphite & Glitter (~23%)
This weekend, I’ll be at the Georgia Romance Writers’ Moonlight & Magnolias conference here in Atlanta. The conference is at the Hilton Atlanta Northeast, 5993 Peachtree Industrial Blvd. At 3 p.m. on Friday, Vanessa North and I will be presenting a workshop titled “Writing the Rainbow: Creating Authentic LGBTQ+ Characters and Stories.” And on Saturday from 3:30 to 5 p.m., I’ll be signing at the Book Fair & Author Autographing for Georgia Literacy. The book fair is open to the public, so Atlanta folks, come on out!
Accidental Fall is now available! This novella is a re-release, previously titled Accidental Love and published by Amber Allure in 2012. Only small edits have been made.
Happy September! As I’m pretty sure you’re aware by now, my novella Tongue & Groove is now loose in the wild! I’m making a few blog stop this week to talk a little more about it:
