I start off 2009 with a bunch of new images. Yay!
Ok, these won’t be for everyone, I suspect. But I like these critters
Dark Elves – role play
A friend of mine used to be a D&D type gamer. For fun, she made up what might be the characteristics of the dark elves. I thought it was pretty cool 🙂
Bravo! Brava! now available
Bravo! Brava! is available now
This is a cool anthology with the common themes being m/m, theatre and cross dressing. Kimberly Gardner and JP Bowie are the other authors.
My story is going to be about Shawn, a talented but flighty college actor–one of my “cute young things”–and Roscoe, the gorgeous, gay professor/director who pushes him to his limits.
ANTHOLOGY BLURB:
Lights, Makeup, Scripts, Costumes . . . Performances! Jet Mykles, J.P. Bowie and Kimberly Gardner entertain us with the magic and mystique of the theatre. From Shakespeare’s gender-bending comedies to the glamour of a Musical Revue, we’re whisked backstage for an intimate glimpse of the drama, romance and rumors (and maybe even a little mystery) behind the curtain. Find out what it takes for a man to carry off a skirt and heels. Follow the men who wait in the wings for those behind the fake breasts and makeup. BRAVO! BRAVA!

This is a very cool anthology. Kimberly Gardner and JP Bowie are the other authors.
A little bit of cross dressing action. This excerpt isn’t exactly sexy maybe, but I think it gives a nice idea of the dynamic between Shawn and Roscoe before the true romance starts.
BTW, Shawn is in COLLEGE so he’s old enough to be in one of my stories.
BLURB:
Switch roles? Roscoe may be a brilliant director, but Sean wants no part of this crazy idea. But when Roscoe suggests that Sean and his leading lady swap Beatrice for Benedict in their college’s production of Much Ado About Nothing, everyone else thinks it’s a terrific idea. Trapped by peer pressure and the awareness that Roscoe usually knows what he’s doing, Sean accepts the challenge only to quickly discover that he likes wearing skirts, both on and off stage. Even more than that, he likes the director’s reaction when he flashes a little leg.

Bonnie held Shawn’s upper arms, staring down into his eyes. “With no sauce that can be devised to it. I protest / I love thee.”
Shawn clutched at her elbows, lowering his gaze and twisting his head to the side, facing the audience. “Why, then, God forgive me!”
Bonnie cupped Shawn’s jaw with her palm, urging his face upward. “What offence, sweet Beatrice?”
“You have stayed me in a happy hour: I was about to / protest I loved you.” Shawn let his voice go breathy just before raising his eyes to meet Bonnie’s.
She put her arms around him, pulling him closer. “And do it with all thy heart.”
He put his arms around her, smiling. “I love you with so much of my heart that none is / left to protest.”
Bonnie leaned down, tilting her head for the kiss.
New cover – Bravo! Brava! Anthology
I’ve got a new cover. If you can’t tell by what’s on it, the theme of the anthology is cross-dressing and theater. My story is called About Something and I’m going to have to find an excerpt from it pretty quick since it’ll probably be coming out in February.
coming soon from MLR Press

Back to the Rockers
(Just posted this at Fiction with Friction, but reposted here too since it’s relevant)
So the steampunk/fantasy story has been turned in. Not sure when it’s going to be released but it’s in Loose Id’s hands now and off my back. It’s called Sursein Judgment and I’ll keep you posted.
Meantime, I’m going back to the rockers. No, not the Indigo Knights. Not yet. This one’s still Heaven Sent. Gretchen Hobbes, their manager, is getting a story. Yes, I know, girls in yaoi? How could I? Well, I’m hoping my dear readers can forgive me this one. I thought Gretchen really needed a story. And, if it’s any consolation, she gets two men. That help? In preparation for this story, I’ve been re-reading the HS books for the last week and making sure I’ve got my facts straight on them. I should be ready to get started this weekend. It’s called Heaven Sent: Revelations. I guess it’s technically book 6 but it feels like kind of an off-shoot. But, with this addition, maybe Genesis can go into print.
Some of you may have caught wind that I was going to start the next Dark Elves book after Judgment. Continue reading Back to the Rockers
