A Very Raw Discussion About A Journey Taken by A Gay Man and His Father

I adore Manny. He seems like a very heartfelt person. He also does some great makeup. But like many of us, life sometimes is a struggle and I admire he and his father for making this video. Kudos to their love and strength.

New Sinners Swag at the Rhys Ford Merch Store

Since I forgot to announce this and I’m obviously not all that right in the head after the flight back home… I’m doing this now. *grins*

There are two new designs in the store…both for the Sinners series. I’ll be following up with a new Cole McGinnis logo (I hate the one there now) AND a Kai shirt.

Let me know what you think should be in the shop. 😀

Heading to NYC tomorrow.. BUT working on finishing Kai

So much going on and honestly, most of it is on the page. I’m carving at the end of Kai but I’m heading to NYC for the LAMBDAs tomorrow night on a redeye. I’ll be hitting Newark at about 5:30ish in the morning and then heading into the City.

Plans are to write, talk, coffee… oh and meet up with CS Poe and readers at Faces and Names on Saturday. If you’re around, drop on by.

Sin and Tonic on Audio and Tristan James

So Tristan James, my delightful narrator for the Sinners (and others) series, has given me a short clip of what he’s got going on right now.

Oh… and he’s now LIVE on Facebook if you want to drop on by and say hey. Can’t promise he’ll be on a lot because you know, we all SHOULD be focused and working but stop by if you can. You can find him at Mr Tristan James (https://www.facebook.com/MrTristanJames?sk=wall)

Writing Kai and Saying GoodBye To the Sinners Boys

Well, Sinners Gin / Crossroads Gin has left the building. I’ll be deleting the shortcut on my desktop in a few minutes and I will be closing that chapter of my life.

It’s an odd thing doing that. It’s only pixels. A shortcut on the desktop but as most writers will tell you, it’s a significant thing. It means I will not need to have Miki, Damie, Forest and Rafe at my fingertips any more.

Sad but oh, Happy Endings.

Not that I won’t go back and have some short stories once in a while and maybe that novella of Con and Forest kicking in my head but ah, the end.

Lots of words happening for Kai 3. I have a tentative title but we’ll see. Stuff changes. This one might change. I like the title but it might not suit.

Speaking of Kai, here’s a photo of the night sky near Kilauea on the Big Island taken by Matteo Belli. This isn’t far from my mom’s house. Everyone’s fine. No one’s in danger at the moment. And there’s fountaining in some of the fissures but so far, everything’s okay.

The lava fields form so much of the Pendle Run and well, heavily influenced by Pele and the Halemaumau area*. So, it’s kind of ironic the volcano is having events while I’m writing this book.

 

* The name is a bone of contention among people. Halemaumau means house of fire and Halema’uma’u means of House of the ma’umau’ fern. I reject the okina placement and all of the older Hawaiians and locals say Halemaumau. Yes, there’s a legend about Kamapua’a filling the area with ferns to seduce Pele but she kicked his ass to the curb.

Once Upon A Wolf is Now Available as an Audiobook!

Wayward Wolves: Book One

Gibson Keller’s days are fairly routine: wake up early, get some work done, drink lots of coffee, and take care of Ellis, his older brother, stuck in wolf form after coming home from the war. It’s a simple life made up of long runs on two legs—or four—and quiet evenings…. Until Ellis chases a handsome man off a cliff and into the frozen waters beside their cabin, changing Gibson’s life forever.

For Zach Thomas, buying an old B&B is a new start. Leaving behind his city life, he longs to find peace and quiet, and hiking the trails behind his property seems safe enough—right up to the moment an enormous black wolf chases him into a lake, nearly drowning him. Discovering werewolves are real astounds him, but not as much as the man who rescues him from the icy water, then walks into Zach’s heart as if he owns it.Loving a werewolf—loving Gibson with all his secrets—has its challenges, but Zach believes their love is worth fighting for, especially since his heart knows the big bad wolf is really a prince in disguise.
