Amos Lassen Reviews Never Say Never

Posted on April 20, 2011 | 1 comment

A lovely review from Amos Lassen for the Never Say Never anthology, which includes my story “Stripped.” A snippet:

You cannot help but love the characters and the story is very well-written. It is interesting to “eavesdrop” on two men who come together for the first time.

Thanks to Amos, and also to fellow author Xavier Axelson for sending me the link!

Vote for Model Student!

Posted on March 31, 2011 | Comments Off

Okay guys, time to get those voting fingers in business!

The GORGEOUS cover fabulous artist Paul Richmond created for my novella Model Student is up for grabs as a limited-edition giclee print. The catch? First it has to win his “Uncovered” contest. It’s up against three tough contenders, but I don’t think I’m totally biased when I say it’s the best. Okay, maybe I am, but still. 😉

You can get complete information on the contest, and a bunch of awesome bonus material from Paul, at Elisa’s Reviews and Ramblings. If you’d rather cut right to the chase, you can go HERE to vote. Three winners will receive the first three limited-edition prints of the chosen image, along with some other great prizes too!

For those who need a refresher, here’s the image in question:

*STARES*

The winning print will be displayed in the Dreamspinner Press booth at Gay Days in Orlando, June 2–5, so no matter who wins, if you’re there, be sure to check it out!

Voting runs through April 27, with the winner announced on April 28. So GO GO GO! VOTE VOTE VOTE!

Brief Encounters Reviews “The Cabin on the Hill”

Posted on March 17, 2011 | Comments Off

Jenre at Brief Encounters has given “The Cabin on the Hill” a lovely review. A sampling:

… the whole story is handled with a light, gentle touch and I finished it feeling not only that I’d read something engaging and fun, but also that I was optimistic about the relationship between these men working in the long term.

Thanks, Jenre!

>My short story “The Cabin on the Hill” is now available from Dreamspinner Press! A blurb to whet your appetite:

Jesse hadn’t planned for anything more than a break from the noise and heat of Atlanta when he returned to the cabin he rented each year in the Smoky Mountains – but that was before he met Eli, the handsome man renting the other side of the cabin. Eli’s plans to mix a little hiking with his relaxation match Jesse’s perfectly, and before long the two men are sharing more than just a wall and a view. Jesse’s not one to let an opportunity like this pass him by, though it remains to be seen whether the weekend encounter can turn into something more permanent.

Enjoy!
