Morning everyone.

It’s been a bit since we’ve sat and visited. To be fair, my brain’s a bit fried and I’ve just done two conventions back to back. A lot of plane rides, a lot of hotel rooms not slept in and food on the go. Lots of food on the go. I have a camera someplace with photos on the SD card and I haven’t downloaded any yet.

I just finished the book slotted for March 2017. It’s a… sort of contemporary romance. Sort of? My version of one. You know, a light fluffy affair where everyone drinks tea and has crumpets. Which actually sounds kind of good right now. It was a struggle writing the book mostly because really, my first instinct is… MURDER! I swear, it’s an addiction.

I can get back to murder and magic in my next project; Dim Sum Asylum. I’m looking forward to expanding the short I wrote in Charmed and Dangerous and seeing where that leads to.

Following that I’m up for Murder/Mayhem 2 and Hellsinger 3. There’s a bit of question regarding Hellsinger 3. Do I make it a Cin book? Or do I keep with Wolf and Tristan? I don’t know yet but I do have a theme and I kinda want to see Tristan deal with clowns.

I’ve also just had about 32 ounces of coffee and so could go back to sleep for a couple of  hours.

Whatcha all up to?

From Rhys: I am actually very excited to read this book. I saw it at Yaoi Con and of course there was the ever delightful Shira Anthony there too. So, now I’ve got the book and am going to dive right in. I suggest you do too.

Take Two, by Shira Anthony

Take Two is a sweet and funny story about getting a second chance at true love. Some angst, some adventure, hot sex, and lots of silliness and romance.

Wesley’s a slightly uptight college history professor. Sam is a Hollywood superstar. Entirely different personalities, but they fit well together. At least they did until Sam’s career took him away from Wesley and their life in New York City. Wesley’s the first one to admit he still loves Sam, but his heart has just started to heal and he’s doing his best to move on. Sam, on the other hand, knows he wants Wesley back and he’s willing to grovel if he needs to.

Sam conspires to take a role in a less than D quality movie about a pirate that’s being filmed on location at the North Carolina coast, and manages to trick Wesley into consulting on the movie. But will Sam’s over the top antics to get Wesley back work? Maybe.Maybe not.

******

Lights, camera, action! When Professor Wesley Coolidge accepts a summer job as a historical consultant to a pirate movie being filmed in North Carolina, the last person he expects to bump into is his soon-to-be-ex, movie star Sander Carson.

Just like the flamboyant pirate he’s playing, Sander, aka Sam Carr, is used to getting what he wants, and he makes it clear he wants Wesley back in his life.Sam lost Wesley when he left their life in New York City behind for a career in Hollywood. But Wesley has finally managed to put the pieces of his heart back together, and he isn’t interested in Sam and Wesley: The Sequel.

Convincing Wesley to give their relationship a second chance will take much more than Sam’s apologies and reminders of good times past. If Sam wants Wesley back, he’ll have to show Wesley that they really can sail into the sunset together—a real-life happily-ever-after that won’t end once the final credits roll.

About Shira: Shira Anthony was a professional opera singer in her last incarnation, performing roles in such operas as Tosca, Pagliacci, and La Traviata, among others. She’s given up TV for evenings spent with her laptop, and she never goes anywhere without a pile of unread M/M romance on her Kindle.

Shira is married with two children and two insane dogs, and when she’s not writing, she is usually in a courtroom trying to make the world safer for children. When she’s not working, she can be found at the Carolina coast aboard Land’s Zen, a 35’ catamaran sailboat, with her favorite sexy captain at the wheel.

Okay, I’m kinda dead because well, so tired.

Yaoi-Con was fantastic. And a bunch of us did a Sinners Gin tour around San Francisco. And pretty much ate our way around the city.

I’ve had lots of coffee. No sleep. And am now heading to Seattle for GRNW.

I’ll sleep on the plane. *grins*
