September has been a busy month for me, but a lot of good things have happened. Here are some of the highlights:

Something Like Summer is book of the month over on Goodread’s M/M Romance group. Readers have been chiming in on their opinions of the book, and I’ve been sharing some insights into the plot and the choices I made. If you’re not a member of Goodreads, I highly recommend it since there’s no better site to share and rank what you’re reading. The M/M Group over there is a wonderfully friendly place to chat about gay fiction.

Something Like Summer has also been the book of the month over at YAMM Books, a new site reviewing gay fiction that is young at heart. Many readers ask me for book recommendations. This site is the perfect answer. It’s a great source for books and authors you might not have discovered.

After a marathon of hunching over my laptop, I’m happy to announce the completion of a new novel. I’m not ready to release a title or synopsis yet, since this is only a first draft, but fans of Something Like Summer should be pleased as it’s another contemporary romance novel. And no, it’s not the oft requested sequel, but I think you’ll fall in love with these new characters just as much. Along with From Darkness to Darkness (The Cat in the Cradle sequel), I expect these two books to be released sometime next year.

There’s a new interview with me over at Diary of a Gay Erotica Author where I talk about satisfying myself (huh-huh-huh) and how readers have the power to make or break a book.

On a more personal note, today (September 27th) is my wedding anniversary. Andreas and I tend not to make a big deal out of it. We prefer to celebrate the day we first met, but since I love the big guy, I thought it was worth mentioning here. We plan on going out to eat to celebrate, because getting fat together is one of the coolest things about being married.
