The Amazingly Fabulous End to “The Autumn Lands” Blog Tour
The Autumn Lands
Point of View: The Cover Design Process
I am stealing this column from my blog tour stop at Elizabeth Noble’s Emotion in Motion blog. It was one of my favorites on the tour, and so I wanted to share it directly with y’all as well: I LOVE working with an artist on the cover for a new book. It’s your chance as an author to see your work through someone else’s eyes, made real. I’ve been through the process three times now, and it’s been fun every time (at least for me; I’ve probably sent at least one cover designer away screaming). This time around, I was … Read more
“The Autumn Lands” Blog Tour Stops at Jessie G’s Blog
One of my last blog tour stops is with the fabulous Jessie G: Thanks, Jessie, for having me on your blog. I’ve only been writing this time around for about two years now. I say this time around because I made a go of being an author some twenty five years ago. I wrote a novel in my early twenties, and sent it out to ten publishers. I was sure it would be snapped up and my career as a writer would be assured. A month went by, then two, and then the rejections began trickling in. One, then two … Read more
Andrew Q. Gordon Invites me to Stop By His Blog
One of my LGBT sci fi idols, Andrew Q Gordon, has me up at his blog today as part of my blog tour for “The Autumn Lands”. I am thrilled to be there. 🙂 WHAT IS “THE AUTUMN LANDS” ABOUT? Hmmm… that’s a tough one. It’s about a place where it’s always fall. And it’s about a young man coming to terms with his sexuality. And it’s about an elf with a past that he can’t remember. And there’s a twist. In my stories, there’s almost always a twist. See the full post here
“The Autumn Lands” Visits Anna Butler’s Blog
Yoday my “The Autumn Lands” blog tour stopped by Anna Butler’s blog, Love That’s Out of This World: Write a story about fall… It sounds easy, right? But I never do anything easy. I could have written a happy little contemporary piece about a love that blossoms amidst the autumn leaves. Or a straightforward metaphor about a man entering the autumn of his life. But I like things that twist and turn. Stories that confound expectations. So instead I wrote The Autumn Lands, a story that’s a hybrid of a bunch of different things… The book can be ordered (3.99 … Read more
Another Stop on the “Autumn Lands” Blog Tour
Another Five Star Review for “The Autumn Lands”
Just got a fantastic review for “The Autumn Lands” (five stars) from Kara at Inked Rainbow Reads: To start of this review I have to say this world the author created in this book was amazing! The author explains everything that is happening in this world you really feel like you are there. Jerrith is on the run after being caught kissing Caspian. The moment these two men eyes meet they just knew they were meant for each other. I will just say I loved the way this author wrote these characters. Between the Dual POV’s which was awesome to … Read more
Today’s Blog Tour Stop for The Autumn Lands
Today I’m stopping by Cate Ashwood’s blog to answer some interview questions – Thanks Cate! How do you think your writing has developed since you started? Oh, it’s gotten much better. I first started writing when I was in fourth or fifth grade. I wrote on and off until my early twenties, when I finished my first novel. When it and five or ten short stories were all rejected, I kind of lost momentum, and though I tried to come back to it several times, it never really stuck. Somehow, though, I had this idea in the back of my … Read more
Another Autumn Lands Blog Tour Stop
I’m so excited to be stopping by Skye Hegyes’s blog today – she’s a great friend and we have an anthology project together with Brandon Witt and Gus Li, coming out later this year from Wilde City. For my visit today for The Autumn Lands, I thought I’d share five things my characters learned during the story: Don’t Kiss and Run: Seriously, if you ever find yourself in a small town and a stranger pulls you into an alley to kiss you, at least get his name before you take off running. Your libido will thank you later…. See the … Read more
