I have no idea if et al is even being used properly here but fuck it. I shall be a pseudo-intellectual and use it that way. *grins*

In the flurry of rankings and the tussle with Whiskey and Wry, I forgot the thing I was going to do today….release Dirty Laundry’s cover.

So…without further ado… Here it is. Once again, done by Reece Notley*.

Oh…and Bobby IS getting his own book. His “person of interest” is introduced some place in Dirty Laundry.

* In case I’ve forgotten to inform all of you… I’m Reece Notley. *nods* It’s the name I do my art under. I’ve done all the covers for my books with the exception of Dirty Kiss which was done by the incomparable Anne Cain…she who fricking rocks a palette.

 

A person can write alone. When they are wearing the Writer hat, it is a lonely business. However, once those words leave the person, they become more…belong to many more people. And once a story has gone through the layers of Beta and Editing, the person has to set aside the Writer hat and put on the Author hat.

But keep in mind, that Author hat is not of their making. Everyone contributes to it. Every person who purchased the story has woven a stitch into that hat. Every review, every edit and every suggestion made by a Beta is a part of that hat.

And sometimes, that hat reaches such great heights… but not just because of the person wearing it but because of the people who CREATED it.

Thanks seems so small a word. But it’s all I’ve got.

So Thank You. Very Much.

And Sinner’s Gin is live. Link Link Baby…

There’s a dead man in Miki St. John’s vintage Pontiac GTO, and he has no idea how it got there.

After Miki survives the tragic accident that killed his best friend and the other members of their band, Sinner’s Gin, all he wants is to hide from the world in the refurbished warehouse he bought before their last tour. But when the man who sexually abused him as a boy is killed and his remains are dumped in Miki’s car, Miki fears Death isn’t done with him yet.

Kane Morgan, the SFPD inspector renting space in the art co-op next door, initially suspects Miki had a hand in the man’s murder, but Kane soon realizes Miki is as much a victim as the man splattered inside the GTO. As the murderer’s body count rises, the attraction between Miki and Kane heats up. Neither man knows if they can make a relationship work, but despite Miki’s emotional damage, Kane is determined to teach him how to love and be loved — provided, of course, Kane can catch the killer before Miki becomes the murderer’s final victim.

This very brave and honest young woman tells her Grandmother she likes girls. Kudos for her and bravo to her grandmother. I wish this much joy for everyone in life. Regarndless who you love.
