Deadlines.

Deadlines are the bane of my existance as a writer.

Well. No. I lie. Deadlines are good markers for when things should be finished and out the door. But they always creep up faster than we expect them to, don’t they? ‘Oh, that’s not due until the fifteen–OH MY HOLY GOD how did it get to be the twelfth?!’  Yeah. That’s me. Even though I have stuff written down on calendars and post-its and whathaveyou, I’m always surprised that days pass without my consent. Or something.

So, as you might have guessed, I’m up against a deadline and humping hard to make it. Don’t get excited, that’s not as much fun as it sounds. I’m sure I’ll make it in the end, but man, I could do without the sudden bursts of panic and doom.

P’raps this will get better with experience.

I’m slow, I freely admit that. I’m just getting this blog set up, but that’s all right.  I’m not famous. Yet.

Hey there, and welcome to my blog. If you’re reading this, the odds are good that you know why you’re here, but just in case: My name’s Sienna Black and I’m an author. I write male/male romance, the hotter the better, and I’m just getting started on this career path.  If you want to follow me through the hoops and over obstacles, pull up a cyber chair and settle in. Everyone’s welcome.

If you wandered over here from my website (http://www.sienna-black.com/, btw) I’m aware of the fact that this is *not* quite the right color scheme. It doesn’t bother me, though and I like the designs at the top of this template, so I’m sticking with it.

So what’s the big news? Why do you care that I have a blog?  Well, for starters, I just got offered the opportunity to sign a contract with Ellora’s Cave.  If you’ve never heard of that publishing house, you owe it to yourself to go and check it out.  They’re top of the line in the erotic romance market and I’m thrilled to be one of their authors.  I’ll be publishing a paranormal Quickie (it’s a short novella) featuring a werecoyote and his human partner.

I also won third place in Liquid Silver’s Satisfy Our Naughtier Side contest.  They’ve requested the full of my m/m futuristic, To Touch The Stars. I’m hard at work on getting that polished up.  Here’s hoping that they like it.

And that’s all the news that’s fit to tell for now, but I’ll try to update regularly so don’t hesitate to check back.
