An Amorous Thing is now available!

Hey guys!

Wow–talk about a great end-of-the-year present! I just got word that my short story collection, An Amorous Thing, is now available on Createspace! At over three years in the making, this has been long-coming, and I’m glad to say that it’s finally available after all these long months of work.

If you’re interested in getting it now (instead of waiting a week or so for it to show up on Amazon) and in supporting both myself and my publisher (Lame Goat Press) with a higher royalty, please click on this strand of text to go order the book! It’s $15.95, though I’m not exactly sure what the shipping and handling costs per copy. I’d appreciate if someone would tell me the exact shipping and handling amount if and when they order the book.

Again, thank you everyone. I really appreciate all the support I’ve had throughout these last few months. I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on the collection.

Announcing G.A.Y and LETTERS TO JOHN

Although it seems to be the case that I am often overwhelmed or overburdened by my artistic nature, I can’t help but be inspired by someone or something when it decides to jump out at me.

To announce, I will be working on two new projects, consequently and disruptively. The first, though I can’t say much about it, as it’s personal, is called Letters to John, which will be an inflection about current events in my immediate state and how they affect me. It will be written in a journal/diary form, but will contain what I like to think of as ‘immediate purple prose.’ Basically, what that means is that it will be written like a diary, but a diary written by a writer (hence the purple prose.)

The second project, which may take a few days or a few months depending upon how much attention and attention to detail I give to it, will be an article/essay called Great Artistic Ying. If you haven’t already picked up on it, GAY is an anagram into itself. The article/essay will chronicle what I like to call my major coming of age by discussing sexuality, how it came to be (in brutal, pornographic detail,) how I dealt with my ‘other life’ in high school and how I continue to do it in personal life, and how it affects me as both an artist and a visionary. It’ll be a gift foremost to my supporters, companions of civil and equal rights, and the friends who have unabashfully stood by my side throughout all the ugly moments of my life. It will, as such a gift as it is, be released on my website, completed formatted and presented to the readers I have accumulated over my short career.

As it stands, the first ‘secret’ project will be a moment-by-moment thing, and GAY will need to be heavily outlined before I write it so I can be as diligent and honest as I can to the truth. What with Blood being almost finished, and my co-editing project almost finished on Scroll of Anubis, I still have a good load of stuff to keep me entertained. This isn’t counting all the editing and promotion I have to do on old or current projects.

Thanks for tuning in!
