Foodporn With Jan: Now, With Swag!

Is it the weekend? *blinks and looks around* It is, isn't it. Where the past couple months have gone, I couldn't say. Been working myself assless, to say the least. BUT! I survived the hell of the holidays in the retail industry. Again. No big deal. Happens every year. This, however, does not: look at the pretties I got in the mail today!




Chocolate Chip Fudge Brownie Bars, & Cover Flats
Okay, the noms did NOT come in the mail; the cover art did.
Hello there, Black. You're looking mighty fine, I must say. Jan didn't want to be left out, not after going through all the trouble of inspiring me to new foodporn heights. Chocolate chip cookies were insufficient for this celebration. Those are cookie bars, with fudge brownie layered on top of them. Yes, they're divine, thanks. Alas, they won't be starring in the blog tour giveaway that starts on the 23rd. Nope. Just Black. With signatures, of course. The artwork is gorgeous, if I may say so. ...May I say so? It is gorgeous.

I'm so reluctant to mark them up with my autograph. *laughs*

I simply cannot wait to see this artwork wrapped around the front and back covers of a paperback book. Yes, yes, I'll admit I'm getting a little excited finally.
*breathes a sigh of relief*
And now I'm going to take a breather and devour that chunk of chocolate utopia there on the plate, since it's staring at me impatiently.

See y'all next week... I promise!

And the Rainbow Award for Best Gay Futuristic/Sci-Fi Goes To...

*clears throat* Drum roll, please. In a three-way tie for first place, Dark Edge of Honor. My thanks to Aleks Voinov the Best Co-Author Ever (and CONGRATS too, Darth Vader -- you rock), Deb Nemeth the Editor of Awesome, and all the very professional staff at Carina Press. Cue the Snoopy Dancing, Streamers, Confetti Parade and Sundry Noisemakers.

Meet the Muses: Origin: Mike

Mike is my character from the soon-to-be-released 'Dark Edge of Honor.' I’ve been acquainted with a number of different veterans and soldiers through the years, but there was one specifically—a person I don’t know, and never met—that sparked the beginnings of this story and was the avatar of the spirit behind him. Late in 2009, I stumbled rather deliberately upon the website of photojournalist Michael Yon and delved into the dispatches from his 2005 embed with deployed troops in Iraq. One of them stopped me in my tracks. Entitled “Gates of Fire,” (click here for the link to Yon's full dispatch) it recounted an incident involving the Deuce Four’s Lt. Colonel Kurilla and Command Sergeant Major Prosser which Yon witnessed, camera in hand.

My Mini-Vacation

I'm taking all of next week off from my regular day-job so that I can celebrate DEoH's release-- Snoopy-Dancing and Grinning Like an Institutionalized Loon. Without scaring the customers. It's not really  a vacation, because I'm still working, after a fashion. If it were a real vacation, I wouldn't be staying at home, that's for sure. If I could take a real  week's vacation, I'd be here: Best View Ever, Bora Bora Hammock. However, I'm not. I'm in my little writer corner all week long, availing myself to fans and readers and bloggers and such, doing all the marketing and promo stuff that a good little author does. [Yes, Good Little Author. Pat me on the head and give me a cookie now!] But I think I'll keep this picture handy. As my desktop background or something, perhaps. Because, woohoo, that's gorgeous ain't it? They have restaurants with extreme al fresco dining, where the tables and chairs are in the water. One d
