Where Fiction and Reality Meet
Make Me Whole – Myths and Self-Fulfilling Prophecies I’ve loved mythology ever since I was a little girl. The tales of gods and goddess were right up there with tales of dragons and fantasy worlds, the myths may have even ranked higher because the tales were such a pivotal part of some cultures. They were... Continue Reading →

Most of my books tend to take place over a short enough stretch of time that I don't really need a timeline. However, now that I'm working on the prequel to Strain, I have a universe which spans multiple years and therefore chronological consistency has become an issue. This is complicated by the fact that... Continue Reading →

This year is my first GRL. The whole event has kind of snuck up on me. Don’t get me wrong, I have ordered pens, and little bags, and postcards, and we’ve talked about prizes as giveaways. I’ve spent time talking to Amber and Stephani about our storyteller panel. We even wrote a book each in... Continue Reading →

Ni Hao Ma, my Pretties? My name is Z. Allora. I LOVED the GRL last year and can't wait until this year. The only description that fits the GRL is it is like returning to one's tribe. No one asks you why you read or write gay romance. The question is, when is your next... Continue Reading →

Don't you just want to grab this kid, pull him into a hug first, and then shove him behind your back, staving off all his demons with a razor edged machete? You do? Well, then you have been enticed by just a cover. A dark, brooding, emoting-so-loudly-you-can-practically-hear-the-kid's-thoughts-as-he-thinks-them, fantabulous cover. A Broken Kind of Life, written... Continue Reading →

Kaje Harper, and the guys who live in my head... “Write-oholic” : /rīt-.ə-ˈhȯ-lik/ - a person who looks at anything, no matter how simple or mundane, and immediately has characters leaping up inside their head, saying, “That's me, my story, write mine...” And who can't say no to the stories. Like this one: Uke Carson... Continue Reading →
Let’s talk about sex! Some writers hate to write sex scenes, and others can’t wait to get to the naughty scenes. As for me, I’m firmly in the second camp. I love writing sex scenes, not just because sex is awesome in and of itself, but because I believe showing how your characters approach sex... Continue Reading →

Doing photo manipulations is a bitch. Oh no, I said that out loud didn't I? *add in the saucy wink here* Well, it is. It's fun, at least I think it is, but it's tough work. This is what the artist does for your cover. Manipulates photos so they/it fits whatever criteria is given. And... Continue Reading →
