Conferencing

The authors over at Manloveromance are talking about putting together a conference geared toward our speciality, manlove. Writing, reading, talking about the genre, connecting with the community. It’ll be a huge amount of work but I think it’ll also be a huge amount of fun.

And to be honest, I’ve missed being actively involved in a conference. I was a part of a small one a few years back. Politics and personal agendas made me leave that arena, but with the right group of people, a small, intimate conference can be a lot of fun, very energy recharging and a valuable experience.

We’re still at the figuring out when/where/how stage, so I won’t say too much more about it, except to express my enthusiasm for the whole idea.

I also spent some time last night talking with Shayla Kersten and Kayelle Allen about a new anthology we’re going to propose to Liquid Silver Books. I am -so- excited about the stories we talked about. We pretty much developed a series idea that I think will sell well and be very well-talked-about. I’m hoping so, at any rate. I can’t wait to get started.

Of course there are other things that need to be finished first. I have a project at Ellora’s Cave giving me fits. I have more ideas crowding my head than I have room to manage.

I will learn to cope. :)

Visitors

Holy cow. I’ve seen a heck of a spike in visitors over the last couple of days. And yet none of you are lingering long enough to say hi. What’s up with that? ;)

 I know, I know, it’s a quiet world over here. I’m still waiting on release dates and edits and trying to finish more projects, so I don’t have a ton to talk about. Still, I’m perfectly friendly, I only bite when welcomed and I … have cookies.  I share.

 More seriously, welcome to those who are swinging by. Hope to see you come back again when I’ve got news and more stories to provide.

More releases coming.

It’s been a while since I had anything to say over here. I know that’s wrong-headed somehow. I need a theme or a series of topics to blog on. Maybe I should just be rambling. I manage that pretty well, usually. P’raps I should discuss how writing erotic romance differs from writing non-erotic, since I do a lot of both.

I’ll have to do some thinking and see what pops up.

 I’m in the process of having my website redesigned. The look won’t change too severely, but it will hopefully work cross-browser, as it was causing troubles in everything except Internet Explorer for me, and more and more of the world is moving away from IE.

I’ve recently finished the edits on my next two books. Back to Texas is theoretically coming out late this spring at Loose-Id. To Touch the Stars will be out … sometime this spring as well, I think, from Liquid Silver. I’ve got another short story proposal in at Ellora’s Cave and a second longer series proposal for them. We’ll see if they sell.

Last but not least, I’ll be at RWA National. I may even be helping to present a workshop. How scary is that?
