Weekly Update – December 8, 2020

Good news, everyone! A story I wrote has been accepted into “Beneath the Mask: A Superhero Romance Anthology,” which is set for a first quarter 2021 release.

The story, “Like a Knife in the Heart,” is a pulp-inspired short featuring a brand-new character, the Sapphire Silhouette, as she hunts a spree killer whose next target may be her ally (and love interest) Dr. Evelyn Baldwin, an ambitious pathologist who may know the killer’s identity.

The full lineup of authors and stories is TBA, but knowing the curators and the writers we all know, there should be a goodly amount of queer representation in the collection.

In the meantime, please remember that all through December, audiobook titles produced through ACX purchased through Audible will pay authors and narrators a 5% bonus on their royalties. The first three Strongarm & Lightfoot books and the Well-Behaved Women trilogy are available, so now’s a great time to give them a listen!

APPEARANCES & EVENTS

  • Arisia 2021 – January 15 – 18, 2021: This year’s convention will be a virtual event, and I’ll be part of the event’s virtual dealers room, which is active now! And they’re now getting the panels assigned, so hopefully I’ll have news on that before the end of the year.
