I don’t know why that seems so funny.
Anyhow, I’m really sorry I slacked off on the newsletter this month. There’s the general state of, well, everything at the moment. Plus my puppy, the writing staffie, has been really sick. He wouldn’t eat or drink anything and he was being sick everywhere. The vet thought originally that he’d eaten a sock, which wouldn’t turn up on the X-Ray, so they opened him up. Surprisingly, considering what a sock thief he is, he hadn’t. At the moment the vet thinks it was maybe giardia or a virus. A couple of my neighbour’s dogs have been really sick too, so it was just something going around and my wee man was hit hard.
It was scary, but he’s back home now and almost back in fighting form. He was certainly the match for this poor Kong gator who he chewed a hole in.
So. Writing!
The end of the Wolf Winter trilogy is in sight! Second edit is in the bag and I’m working on the cover design now. I’m really excited to get the whole trilogy out there. Dog Days was the first book I published with Dreamspinner and it feels significant to have the full trilogy completed. On the other hand I feel weirdly reluctant too! I’ll miss these guys.
I have also have two, count ‘em!, edits in my inbox. One is for a novel and one for a novella. It IS a novella! Just a little bit longer than it was meant to be. They are both SORTA part of the SOOPER SEKRIT PROJECT so there will be a big reveal in the days to come.
One thing I can share now is that the novel cover will—assuming nothing goes awry—be the second cover I do myself. So either ‘Whoot!’ or ‘Oh, Tamm’. We’ll see!
Happy Birthday Snitchy Poe-Poe :D
Also check out The Mystery of the Moving Image by some writer bird :D It’s up on Audible now. It’s awright :) (It’s good, but we don’t want Poe getting a big head).
The lovely Z. Allora has a new book out today. Check it out!
Stefano Rossi longs for the mystical—and so far unattainable—peace of reaching subspace. But can he accept that the person who can take him there is a man?
Riku Tao has given up on finding a sub who complements him. He’ll stick with doing demonstrations at the BDSM club the Edge. He certainly doesn’t have time for a closeted Catholic guy with internalized biphobia… and yet he cannot help but want to protect Stefano and give him what he needs. A history of physical and sexual abuse makes it impossible for Stefano to come out of the closet, and Riku certainly isn’t going back in.
Perhaps an arrangement of six months to explore their desires will be enough to satisfy them both.
Or it might break their hearts.
To take hold of his future with the man he’s coming to love, Stefano will need to move beyond the pain of his past, and he won’t be able to do it alone.
