I just received a contract for my holiday story. Patchouli for Christmas is a m/m contemporary holiday romance novella due out from Loose Id on Dec. 6th. Can’t wait to get the cover art – holiday covers are always fun.
Here’s the cover blurb:

New York City event planner Michael Cove has a business to run and no time for a relationship. Especially when all around him he sees the pain caused by the inevitable failure of those relationships. He prefers to spend his time planning celebrations for others, seeking only the occasional fling when the need for company becomes too great.
But when a wealthy client demands that her grandson’s dark and gloomy paintings be used to decorate her Christmas party, he visits the brooding artist in his loft and discovers an unexpected attraction to the patchouli-scented modern day hippie.
Artist and do-gooder Jude Kendrick has his reasons for disliking Christmas, and prefers to withdraw alone to his loft for the holidays. Although he is in no mood for a visit from a party planner, he cannot deny the heat that flares between them the moment they meet.
They have nothing in common except the loneliness of the holidays. Can Michael lift the spirits of the moody Jude? And can Jude convince Michael to risk his heart?

So Friday Night Jamie took an Honorable Mention in the Passionate Plume Awards. I’m pretty happy with that – especially after seeing who the other writers were! A lot of good finalists in the Contemporary category.

Friday Night Jamie is a finalist in the 6th Annual Passionate Plume Contest from Passionate Ink, the Erotic Romance chapter of the Romance Writers of America. Just to be a finalist is quite exciting for me, as this is my first book and my first contest!

Big Cypress Crossroads is coming August 2nd from Loose Id. It’s a m/m contemporary romantic suspense which takes place in the Everglades and Miami.
I love that Everglades setting. I have some pictures of the area I’m going to post as soon as I get them downloaded.  Here’s a little info:
Scott is hot on the trail of the drug dealers who killed his men and left him with a limp. Noah may have the key to bringing them down. Loving each other is easy. Trusting each other could be fatal. Read more…

I’m happy to be a guest on Rhonda Print’s blog today. I’ll be talking about my new release, The Professor’s Assistant, and about writing in general. Rhonda often has interesting author interviews and is the author of Nightwalker,  a  paranormal romantic suspense. I hope you’ll drop by.

Jadette Paige has a really interesting blog at jadettepaige.blogspot.com. It’s all about the story behind the story. How do writers come up with their ideas for a particular book? I’m there today to talk about my latest release, The Professor’s Assistant. I hope you’ll come by and say hello!

I’m so excited that my new novella, The Professor’s Assistant, is now available from Liquid Silver Books. I’ve been a devoted science fiction fan since I was a kid, but recently I discovered male/male romance and just fell in love with the genre. So of course, I had to find a way to combine the two! Throw in a setting of Victorian London and you get a hot little romance spiced up with a lot of sci-fi and steampunk fun. I hope everyone enjoys it! Read a longer blurb and excerpt.

A Valentine’s Day release! I’m excited to announce the release date for my new novella. The Professor’s Assistant is a male/male romance which takes place in a sci-fi / steampunk setting. It will be available the evening of February 14th on the Liquid Silver Books site and later at Amazon and other eBooksellers.   
Agent Julian Blake is in a race to prevent the theft of a time machine and protect the only man left alive with the knowledge to recreate it–the professor’s lovely assistant. Falling in love was never part of the mission. Read a longer blurb and excerpt.
