Monday Book Review: To Hear You Smile
To Hear You Smile by Gina Rossi Review… Summary: Olivia is ready for some time away from London. Her job and the upcoming Olympics are making things too stressful. So she leaps at the chance to dog sit for a friend in the small village of Chapel Hill. Her friend tries to mention the cute boy who lives down the road, but Olivia is off men and not interested in hearing about him, not even to get the warning that Ruth tries to give about what she really ought to know about Zac. When Olivia does meet Zac, he comes across as gorgeous, but creepy. There’s something odd about him that she just can’t put her finger on and by the time she realizes what it really is, she’s already knocked him out with a teacup to his head. The Good: The writing is...
Read MoreReviews on the Horizon
I don’t have a new review for you today, but I have a couple coming up that I’m looking forward to sharing with you. 1) I’ve been asked to blurb a book. This means that I read a book before it is published and give an endorsement that the publisher can use on the front cover and in the marketing materials. I’m about half way through reading the book now and I’m really enjoying it. Will definitely be able to endorse it whole heartedly! 2) I’m hoping to get a review copy of To Hear You Smile by Gina Rossi. It’s a novella that she wrote inspired by the Paralympics. I’m not sure what to expect with it, but I’ll let you know as soon as I read...
Read MoreFriday Excerpt: new (W)hole
I first finished (W)hole in 2009 and it quickly took on a life of its own, being the only novel of its kind. There has yet to be another book telling the inside story of what it is like to be a disability devotee. Written by a devotee for devotees and for anyone else who is curious about sexuality and what it is like to grow up with a sexual desire that frightens you. This month (W)hole transforms. It’s second edition is being published through Dev Love Press and it has gone through a series of revisions to improve it. There is now more of the male perspective, as Stewart gets more chapters in his point of view. Here is one of these new chapters… This was a mistake. Stewart pushed through a hallway thick with people, watching the ground and trying...

Well, I had this big plan to finally get my science fiction romance published in the early new year (February 2013), but the fact is, it is not ready yet. Feb may seem far away, but it really isn’t! Not in terms of getting a book ready. I need to take this off deadline and just let it take however long it’s going to take. Which is frustrating because I love the idea and I’ve been working on it for years. Seriously, guys. Years! I really believe in these characters and I want so much to give them to you. But they just are not ready. And I need to take the pressure off and let the story come as it comes. I wish I had more to give you. I have the two novels and a bunch of short stories but I’m really ready to have another novel...
