I’ve been crippled with a weird stomach bug, but in my illness I have still managed to have the strength to get online and shop. Between trips to toilet to hug the old marble throne, I’ve registered and bought from the eharlequin site. Shit, now that they have that Nocturne line (recommended by Jaynie R), those deals can go to the sort of books I like best– paranormal and fantasy. I know, I know, my determination to spend money on books is astonishing. Did you know they take $4 off your first purchase when you register? And you get like 20% off when you order from the store (the shipping cost does put a dent in my enthusiasm)?

Amber Quill Press has a new gay/lesbian imprint, Amber Allure, which leaves me to ask– where’s the girl on girl action? One stinkin’ novella of the lesbian lovin’ in the WHOLE site? Though, all my bitching aside, I think its a good idea. Now, if you want some manly men making sweet sweet monkey love with other manly men, you can find the genre that you want instead of browsing through the gay/lesbian section looking for a cover that looks like a western or what have you.

Teddy Pig gives us all a lesson on how to organize our ebooks on itunes. Its very neat and he also shows how (with PICTURES) to save your ebooks on a CD. Marvelous!

December Quinn has a great series on choosing publishers up on her blog. Its something that I think that everyone starting out in the ebook business should check out. It could save some heartache later on. Trust me.

Now, my Pretties, I’m going to be sick again so enjoy these tidbits I have gathered for you.

Celia Kyle is the hostess of this site and its guardian angel. She let me use this space, she installed the word press, and was altogether very supportive. Thank you!

Huzzah!

Q. Do you accept lesbian erotica?
A. In the past we had only considered F/F scenes in works that also featured het or M/M erotica; however, we are lifting that rule and will now consider exclusively F/F works so long as they adhere to our guidelines.

Yay! Prepare for the sexing of the lesbian kind, Phaze! (as soon as I write it, of course)

Thank you, December Quinn and Selah March for giving me the heads up about Phaze. Kisses, chicas!

Okay, today, I was writing a pretty emotional scene in the novel I’m working on, 23 Kisses, and I start tearing up. Having to write Claudia watch Zoe walk away from her in disgust after finding out she is a gatekeeper almost killed me. Anyone else get emotional with their characters as they write certain scenes?
