BLURB:
Marcus was just passing through Texas when he met Kent. In his cowboy hat, low-riding jeans, and black boots, Kent looks like the type of guy Marcus desperately wants to love.
But two years later, he’s discovered Kent is cold and distant, the quintessential American cowboy, and spends more time drunk than sober. Marcus can never predict his mood and blames himself for the flailing relationship.
Then, one day when Kent rides into town, Marcus finds a young runaway hiding in their barn. Luke is warm, loving, and quick to please … everything Kent is not. Though the answer seems obvious, Marcus finds himself torn between the boy who demands his love and the man whose love he craves.

First look at “The V in Valor”
Lately I’ve had a lot of readers asking me about my upcoming Vic and Matt story, to be released July 5th by Amber Allure. V Book I: The V in Valor begins a new series of five stories, each extolling a virtue of Vic’s. For those interested, here’s a sneak peek at the upcoming story.
The V in Valor
13,885 word novelette / 858 word excerpt
Through the bathroom door, Vic heard his lover’s surprised laugh and grinned into the towel. He was a bear in the mornings, he knew, and damn it, but Matt loved to mess with him when he wasn’t quite coherent. He should go into the kitchen and show off his new power in a dramatic way, just to get Matt worked up. Pour his coffee without touching the mug, perhaps, or mentally turn the pages of the newspaper as Matt tried to read it. If he closed off his thoughts and snuck up on his lover, he might get a good laugh or two before Matt figured out what was happening.
The smile was back, and on his reflection, it looked scheming. Vic dropped the towel, but instead of falling at his feet, it flew back to its place on the rack and settled itself neatly across the bar. Then he raised a hand and his bathrobe jumped off its hook as if waiting to cover him. Vic shrugged into it, not bothering to close the front panels or tie the robe around his waist. This was proving to be a pretty convenient power to have.

Redesigned & revamped blog, writing news
In case you haven’t noticed, the three-column layout is history. It just got too busy for me after a while and this morning I knew it had to go. While I would really love something completely new, that wouldn’t fit in with my writing site, so I just took the layout there and flipped it for my blog.
I also deleted all extraneous blog entries and categories that weren’t directly related to my writing. Hopefully this will streamline the site a bit.
In writing news, I’ve submitted a new Vic and Matt story to Amber Quill this week. The V in Vengeance is the second story in my upcoming V series and will be released in August. For those keeping track, this story is a longer version of the short story I wrote in March, entitled As Sparks Fly. I had submitted it to Circlet Press for an anthology of theirs, but it was too long for them and I felt it needed to be longer, so I added an additional 5k to the story before submitting it to Amber Quill.
Last weekend I did a little much needed soul-searching on the state of my writing, where it is now, and where I want it to go. It was refreshing and eye-opening, and hopefully put me back on track with where I plan to be in a month, a quarter, a year’s time. We’ll see!
