It’s Octo­ber, and you won’t believe this but I’m sit­ting out­side right now, typ­ing up this post. Seri­ous­ly. Al Gore must be onto some­thing, we usu­al­ly have our first snow of the sea­son by now. knock on wood

I’m post­ing a pic­ture that I took a cou­ple days ago as I took a dri­ve up through the Curt Gowdy State Park. It’s real­ly a beau­ti­ful area.

Work in Progress News ~Great news! I just received a con­tract on my first m/m short sto­ry, Flipped! It’s so excit­ing. I’ll be sure to to post a blurb and excerpt soon on my books page. Woot!

Indus­try News ~ Kin­dle, Kin­dle, Kin­dle! Wow, great news com­ing out of Ama­zon this week. New Kin­dle ver­sions, includ­ing a tablet and touch-screen Kin­dle, and a great low price on the basic mod­el: $79. I did­n’t think I’d be able to get a Kin­dle for under $100 until at least 2013, so this is great news. Some­one remind me that I don’t need anoth­er read­ing device…

Real Life News ~ It’s post-sea­son base­ball time! Although this isn’t real­ly my real-life news, you’ll have to put up with my base­ball talk for the next few weeks. Any idea who will take it all? Those Phillies are pret­ty hot this year. Play wise, y’all.

Search Term of the week aka How Peo­ple Found My Web­sites ~ Some­one found Olivi­a’s site by search­ing for “Erot­ic Bun­ny” I nev­er know what to think.

Hero Quote ~ From Alan­na’s book Fine Print, a quote from the hero Derek:

“You just asked me sev­en­ty-two ques­tions about my per­son­al and med­ical his­to­ry. All I want to know is if you are going to be a capa­ble par­ent before I donate any of my seed. That’s a legit­i­mate request, don’t you think?”

Favorite Song of the Week ~  Fly, by Nic­ki Minaj fea­tur­ing Rihanna

I am not fly, I am lev­i­ta­tion. (Not sure what that means, but I like it)

That’s it for me this week. See you again next Saturday!
