ANNOUNCEMENT/GIVEAWAY: Moonstruck, By Aleksandr Voinov & LA Witt

by
Moonstruck

Aleksandr Voinov & LA Witt have a new MM romance out: Moon Struck. Anthony Rawson is screwed. Fans, producers, and his agent are all chomping at the bit for the next book in his wildly popular Triple Moon series, but he’s got epic writer’s block and is way behind deadline. Then he reads Axis Mundi, a fanfic novel by his online friend “SirMarrok.” It isn’t just a great story—it’s exactly what the series needs. Samir Daoud is thrilled when “Ulfhedinn” wants to meet up after reading Axis Mundi. When Ulfhedinn turns out to be Anthony Rawson himself, Samir is starstruck. … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: When Life Throws You a Curve Ball

by

I am not where I thought I’d be today. One of my family members had a health issue requiring sudden relocation from Sacramento to Tucson, Arizona, throwing my normal ordered schedule into chaos. I’m not officially OCD, but I do love to have things proceed according to schedule. It’s how I keep so many balls in the air at once – relationship, work, writing, and occasionally sleeping and eating. But a trip like this throws all that out the window. And who knew how difficult it could be to find good wifi in this day and age? Still, these are … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: Small Joys

by

Being a writer is a lonely profession. Most of your time is spent in front of your computer, alone, trying to spin words into worlds and fighting off those dreaded twin feelings of fraud and failure. So when something good happens, even if it’s just a “small joy,” you learn to embrace it and use it to feed your writing soul. Yesterday, my short story “Chinatown” came back from the first magazine I had submitted it to. It was rejected, but accompanied by a very nice note saying that the editor hoped it would find a home elsewhere. So I … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: Things to Know About Me

by
scott-bunny

Usually I use this space to talk about all things authorly, but today I thought I’d go a little more personal. I am deeply weird, in case you haven’t figured that out yet. So here are ten things about me you may not know. I Don’t Like Coffee. Yeah, I know. I am that one guy in the whole world who doesn’t drink the stuff (except for once in a while in frappucino form, with lots of mint and java chips and sugar to hide the taste). OTOH, drop me into a bookstore where there’s the mixed smell of coffee … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: Climbing the Walls of SFWA (And Unleashing My Secret Creativity)

by

I’m on a bit of an odyssey this year. I have always wanted to be a sci fi writer, and over the last five years, I have achieved that dream. In addition to my gay romance tales, I have published five sci fi novels, with a sixth due out in October. But one thing has eluded me. Most successful sci fi writers (and I use that term in the popular/financial sense) are members of SFWA (say it with me – “siff-wah”) – the Sci Fi Writer’s Association. But there’s a catch. To join, you have to either make at least … Read more

POINT OF VIEW: I Am My Father’s Son

by
Bill Coatsworth

I am my father’s son. My father and mother separated when I was a little kid. Near as I can tell from the pictures, it was in 1973, when I was four or five. My Dad and Mom were… let’s just say, less than a perfect match for each other. When they divorced, my Dad moved out to an apartment across town, and I stayed with my Mom. That’s not to say that my Dad moved out of my life. Far from it. For all the angst in their relationship with each other, they always agreed on one thing – … Read more
