Fireside Chat with Amy Lane, Charlie Cochet and Rhys Ford! Feb 22
Dreamspinner Press is having a Fireside Chat on
February 22, 2014 at 5 pm EST! (2 pm PST for me)!
I have the honour of being a part of a new Dreamspinner event called a Fireside Chat. It will be hosted on Google Hangouts by Ariel Tachna and feature Amy Lane, Charlie Cochet and me, Rhys Ford. I’ll be posting a link to the live chat as soon as I get it and it will be available on Youtube shortly afterwards.
What do I need from you? How about some questions? For any of the authors! We’ll be answering fan questions, maybe doing some readings and I’m debating moving one of the pictures in my living room so I can hang my jackalope head behind me. His name is Buck. He’s very lovely.
Leave your questions here at the DSP blog or below and I’ll forward them on… they can be for any of the authors! Come for Amy’s funny stories! Marvel at how adorable Charlie is! See how sleekly elegant Ariel is!
Hope to see you there!

TJ and Eric Update Feb 7
Eric asked that I post this picture his mom sent me of him as he looked this morning. Fuck the tubes. That smile is enough to light the whole damn world.
Love you, sweetheart. — with Eric Arvin.
Later in the day…
“On Skype:
Me: Everyone loved that picture of you so much today!
Eric: Well that’s because I’m pretty.
Yeah. We’re going to be just fine.”
WOOOOOT! TJ and Eric Update
TJ Update: Before watching the video below, please read.
I took a video yesterday of Eric speaking and really being able to hear himself for an extended period of time. He wanted me to share it to show people he was going to be okay.
I was very hesitant because I am fiercely protective of him. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that this is something amazing, something wonderful. Something so very powerful. And he is proud of what he accomplished.
So ignore the paleness of his face. Ignore my shaky voice. Instead, focus on his smile and the sheer joy in his eyes at being able to speak, even if it was for a short time. And yes, he even gets sarcastic with me.
This is why I believe.
Watch the Video here. I do not believe you need to be a member of Facebook to see it.
State of the Rhys Jan 2014
Here is the State of the Rhys
Wow.
Much happenings.
Too much.
Many things.
Let’s see… let’s go series by series, shall we?
Dirty Series, the Cole McGinnis Mysteries
Dirty Deeds will be out on March 28th, 2014. The next book in the series will be Down and Dirty, out later this year. Down and Dirty will be Bobby and Ichi’s book. I’m still contemplating if I will write this in Bobby first person or double POV between Bobby and Ichi third person.
In audiobook news, the Dirty series’ narrator has been chosen and contracted. I really liked what he did and his voice choices were good. I’ll let you know when things get going on that and the audiobooks are released.
Tequila Mockingbird is finished and contracted with Dreamspinner. It will be out in June 2014 but before then, The Devil’s Brew will be out first. It is a short Miki and Kane novella that leads into Tequila Mockingbird.
I’ve started the next Hellsinger Novel, Duck Duck Ghost. It features Wolf and Tristan. Will I be bringing Cin in later? Yes. Because really, he needs his own book.
Speaking of paranormal, I do have another paranormal project with a favourite author of mine. I actually have to talk to her about when we can discuss it. But that’s on the horizon. A couple of projects really. But ah, I want to start it before I begin doing the happy release info dance
Clockwork Tangerine! Ah, steampunk. Sorta. Really, it’s mostly a romance set in a steampunky environment. It’s about Marcus and Robin and how they find love in one another. That’s out February 19th. It’s a little bit different but I really enjoyed the lushness of it.
Okay, anything else I’m forgetting? Anything you all wanna know?
Eric Update from TJ
TJ Writes: Eric spoke today. It was only for a little bit, and it was a rasp, but he spoke. I cried all over myself in the hallway at work. Then the good people at his new hospital helped him sit up from the bed and put his feet out on a stool for about ten minutes. It’s the first time he’s been able to do that since this started. It tired him out, but there were no other issues other than he couldn’t do it on his own. Not yet.
I motherfucking believe. You can count on that.
Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go.
Y-M-C-A!
I still love him. He’s sooooooo cute..
