I’m hosting torquere_social today and have kicked it all off with a discussion of writer’s block.

It’s my ask the author day on the torquere_social mailing list. If you’re a member of the list, feel free to stop by and get the answers to all those burning questions you’ve had about my books.

Visit Torquere Press’s Road of a Relationship board and click on Day 20 to read my short story, “Vows.”

Also as part of the anniversary celebration, Torquere Press has released a collection of Wedding Sips, the profits and royalties of which will be donated to the Lambda Legal and other GLBT legal funds.

Torquere Press has moved its books and press site to their own servers, which means URLs have changed all over the place. I’ve updated the URLs for my books on their publications pages and will catch them in blog entries at a later date.

I will also be working on the layout for jj.com today, so expect things to be in flux a bit.

Part of Torquere Press’s anniversary celebrations is the Road of a Relationship board game. Like our Advent calendar in December, click a new tile every day for a story, anecdote or recipe, special offers and clues for the scavenger hunt. Have fun!

Current Mood:  sleepy

Tomorrow Something Beautiful comes out.

I’ll be hosting the Torquere Social community tomorrow. I have discussions, snippets, a contest and some flashfic planned, and of course all the information you’ll need to get your copy. I’ll mirror a lot of it here so even non-Livejournal people can participate.

I confess to being worried about the sophomore slump, but the reaction so far has been positive so I’m crossing my fingers it’ll continue to be so. (”Being worried” could also be interpreted as “freaking the hell out”, in a certain light. I don’t think I’m going to sleep much tonight.)

But! Tomorrow is the big day. That’s the important thing.

Torquere Press is not a vanity press. I (ETA: or any other author on their roster that I’ve heard from or talked to) have not given them a cent to publish my work.

They have been nothing but helpful and supportive for the year I’ve been with them, and I’m immensely happy with all we’ve accomplished and all that’s to come.

My publisher, Torquere Press, does an Advent calendar for Christmas: short stories, recipes, what-have-you. Today is my day: it’s a little glimpse into Ben and Jamie’s first Christmas. (It’s also SFW, though you’ll get a “may contain mature content” pop-up.)
