Howdy! I know I\u2019ve used this pic\u00adture before, but I like it. So it\u2019s Sat\u00adur\u00adday again. Here\u2019s what I\u2019ve been up to for the past sev\u00aden days:<\/p>\nHowdy!

Work in Progress News ~<\/span> I had a great start to the week, with won\u00adder\u00adful plans to keep on chug\u00adging away on the WiP of the week, Michael. This one is about a hor\u00adrif\u00adic car acci\u00addent, and I just killed some\u00adone. I guess I need to grieve before I can \u00c2 move on. Yeah, that\u2019s it.<\/p>\n Indus\u00adtry News ~<\/span> Lots of indus\u00adtry peeps are in New York today for the New York Com\u00adic Con. I doubt it would have any\u00adthing for me, being a (most\u00adly) con\u00adtem\u00adpo\u00adrary romance author, but that did\u00adn\u2019t stop Cari\u00adna Press from cel\u00ade\u00adbrat\u00ading with a 40% off coupon this week\u00adend only! Click here<\/a> to vis\u00adit the site, and just type in NYCOMICCON<\/span> at check\u00adout. What? That link goes right to the Pre\u00adView book page? Well that\u2019s handy. Also going full force in New Orleans is the first annu\u00adal (hope\u00adful\u00adly) Gay\u00adRom\u00adLit Retreat. I\u2019m see\u00ading lots of fun posts com\u00ading out of that.<\/p>\n Real Life News ~<\/span> The weath\u00ader is actu\u00adal\u00adly pret\u00adty nice. Maybe we\u2019ll get an autumn this year! Not much news for this sec\u00adtion this week. I\u2019m sure you don\u2019t want to hear about my den\u00adtist appointment\u2026<\/p>\n Search Term of the week aka How Peo\u00adple Found My Web\u00adsites ~<\/span> Oth\u00ader than the con\u00adtin\u00adu\u00ading query of \u201ctom sel\u00adl\u00adeck naked\u201d which I believe I exac\u00ader\u00adbat\u00aded by writ\u00ading those words here last week (and this week too I guess) this week\u2019s query win\u00adner is: \u00c2 \u201clibros de romance\u201d, which reminds me of more news! I\u2019ve enticed two Span\u00adish speak\u00aders to read my books and trans\u00adlate them into Span\u00adish! I\u2019m very excit\u00aded about that prospect.<\/p>\n What I\u2019m read\u00ading ~<\/span> I\u2019m just going to list the book(s) that I read each week. I\u2019m not review\u00ading them, but I won\u2019t post them if I don\u2019t like them. This week I read 18% Grey by Anne Teni\u00adno<\/a>. \u201cIn a future where the Unit\u00aded States has split along par\u00adty lines, Agent Matt Tennimore\u2019s job is to get peo\u00adple out of the Con\u00adfed\u00ader\u00adat\u00aded Red States, whether they\u2019re cap\u00adtured spe\u00adcial ops agents from his own coun\u00adtry or gay CRS<\/span> cit\u00adi\u00adzens who\u2019ve peti\u00adtioned for asy\u00adlum. He nev\u00ader expect\u00aded to have to retrieve his high school crush, aka the guy who ostra\u00adcized him for being gay.\u201c\u00c2 A real\u00adly good read that I could\u00adn\u2019t fin\u00adish all in one night, which meant that I end\u00aded up dream\u00ading my own end\u00ading to the book. I admit Ms. Teni\u00adno did a bet\u00adter job than my subconscious.<\/p>\n Hero Quote ~<\/span> From Josh Bradley, the hero from Olivi\u00ada\u2019s Tes\u00adsa\u2019s Pride<\/a>:<\/p>\n \u201c<\/span>You taste amaz\u00ading. Even when you\u2019re piss\u00ading me off.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Favorite Song of the Week ~\u00c2 <\/span> Okay, Howard Jones showed up on my Twit\u00adter feed<\/a> last week (I LOVE<\/span> HIM<\/span>!) I\u2019d lost track of him over the past few years, rely\u00ading on his old stuff to keep me from crack\u00ading up (HoJo fans get it<\/a>) Come to find he put a new album out a cou\u00adple years ago, found this song and just about melted.<\/p>\n
