4.5 Stars for Myths Untold: Faery

by
Anne Barwell

Just got another great review for Myths Untold: Faery, which includes one of my stories: For the whole antho: I’d recommend Myths Untold: Faery to readers who like anthologies which share a common theme but tell very different stories. 4.5 out of 5 stars. For my story, Through the Veil: Through the Veil by J. Scott Coatsworth sucked me in with the first couple of paragraphs and didn’t let go until the end. The world building in this story is fabulous, and very easy to visualise. It paints a very grim picture of a dystopian future, but despite that there are good people, … Read more

by
Novel Approach

The great folks at The Novel Approach just gave Flames and “A More Perfect Union” a great review: For AMPU: A More Perfect Union is an anthology by four authors who have lived through the turbulent times before and after the journey toward marriage equality for all.

Point of View: I Am Wallowing

by
Wallow

As an author, sometimes you have a really good week. You have a new book come out, you get great reviews, and you actually have both the time to write and the inspiration to do so. Sometimes, things just suck, and you wallow. This last week was supposed to be a banner week for me. I have a new release, part of an anthology, and it’s getting really good reviews. And yet, I find myself in the middle of an existential writer crisis. It’s not any one big thing, and not even a couple medium-sized things. Instead it’s a bunch … Read more

Two More Stops on the “A More Perfect Union” Blog Tour

by
Andrew Q. Gordon

Today we’re stopping by two more stops for the AMPU tour: First off, my friend Andrew Q. Gordon is hosting me at his place: I just reached the end of a long journey, one that started in 1989, two years before I came out to my friends and family. That year, I attended my first gay wedding. It wasn’t so much a wedding, though, as a furtive ceremony between two gay men, held in a stand of bamboo at the Huntington Museum, surrounded protectively by three friends. Back then, the idea of two guys getting married was almost unthinkable. We … Read more

Point of View: Testing the Waters

by
Huffington Post

Two years and some months ago, I re-commited myself to writing. I’ve now published a few things, and have set up several blog tours for my books and the anthologies I have been in. I’ve hit all the normal places – the romance blogs, the LGBT reviewers, etc. But I’ve decided that it’s time to do more. I want to move beyond the romance blogs. Don’t get me wrong. I don’t want to leave them behind. They are a huge part of our community, and it’s important that we support each other. They should be a part of any marketing strategy. But … Read more
