Just as a little reminder of what the first story was like… “JAYSON MOLENSKI, stop fussing over me!” Fran swatted away his boyfriend’s hands and knotted his tie himself. “It’s crooked and your mother will fuss. Now whose hands do you prefer all over that buff body of yours?” Fran sighed. “Mother will be…
A while ago I posted pictures of myself on my site here. It took a lot of courage for me to do that, since I’m not exactly Miss Happy-With-Herself. Since I have an It Gets Better story coming out, I needed to make an It Gets Better video. Who knew I could blab to myself…
As you know by now You Can Choose Your Friends is a prequel to You Can’t Choose Your Family. What most of you don’t know yet, is that there will be a third story, explaining what happens after the end of You Can’t Choose Your Family. So what do think? Those of you who’ve read…
I was just told, off the record, that my novel Clouds and Rain is all translated and going through editing in Spanish! And it’s also on the bestseller list again over at Dreamspinner Press. Can you all say Happy New Year? So I ask all of you who don’t have English as first language (like…

First of all, since this is the last day of the year, I’d like to thank everyone who supported me this past year by buying my novels or my short stories. Although reviews have been few and far between, I can’t complain about sales figures, which were up from last year, so I do feel…
Tom Webb most graciously reviewed my Christmas story on Goodreads and his own blog and I loved that he understood that Christmas isn’t the time to be Merry for everyone, including my two characters of Happiness for Beginners, but I’m also glad he made it clear that it’s not a bittersweet story. My men do…
Now that NaNoWriMo is over again, it’s time to get another story out there. Happiness for BeginnersJesse harbored a crush on his TV series costar, Kaye, for more than eight years, but when the show was canceled and he realized those years of playing gay hadn’t convinced Kaye to leave the straight and narrow, Jesse…
