I am honoured to be with a bunch of KICK ASS authors in support of Tj Klune and Eric Arvin. Grand Adventures is now up for preorder on DSP. All proceeds to go the boys.

Link to Preorder! Available March 31

On September 1, 2011, TJ Klune wrote, “…it’s not about the ending, it’s about the journey…” in a review of Eric Arvin’s Woke Up in a Strange Place. With those words, two men began a journey of love and invited us to ride along. TJ and Eric have shared so much with us: their wonderful books, their smiles, their humor, their lives, and their inspiring devotion to each other. In December of 2013, their journey took a detour when Eric was taken to the emergency room. He survived the surgery to remove a cavernous hemangioma from his brain stem, but the challenges TJ and Eric face are far from over.

The authors in this anthology donated their talent as a way to support Eric’s continued recovery, to help bring strength to TJ, and to show both of them just how much love surrounds them. Grand Adventures is a diverse range of stories about the journey of love. We’re going on some grand adventures for a great cause. Thank you for joining us.

One hundred percent of the income from this volume goes directly to TJ and Eric.

Ten Days to Rhys Ford’s Dirty Deeds!

Sheila Pinelli needed to be taken out.

Former cop turned private investigator Cole McGinnis never considered committing murder. But six months ago, when Jae-Min’s blood filled his hands and death came knocking at his lover’s door, killing Sheila Pinelli became a definite possibility.

While Sheila lurks in some hidden corner of Los Angeles, Jae and Cole share a bed, a home, and most of all, happiness. They’d survived Jae’s traditional Korean family disowning him and plan on building a new life—preferably one without the threat of Sheila’s return hanging over them.

Thanks to the Santa Monica police mistakenly releasing Sheila following a loitering arrest, Cole finally gets a lead on Sheila’s whereabouts. That is, until the trail goes crazy and he’s thrown into a tangle of drugs, exotic women, and more death. Regardless of the case going sideways, Cole is determined to find the woman he once loved as a sister and get her out of their lives once and for all.

Trying on a Hijab

I would like to say that I fully support any woman who chooses to wear a hijab. Your faith and your choices are your own. And it is a beautiful sign of that faith. I view it the same as I would a cross or a bindi.

And I gotta admit, a lot of them look awesome.

TJ and Eric Update

Home inspection went well. No major catastrophes. And no ghosts and/or a crack whore den. This is one of my favorite rooms in the house. Perfect for a christmas tree. One step closer. — with Eric Arvin.

WOOOOOT TJ and Eric’s House!

Eric and I spent all day making plans for our new house. What we are going to keep. What we are going to change. When it is acceptable to start decorating for Christmas this year since the last one was taken from us (I said July, he said maybe August. I count that as a win). Today was a good day.
