Hi all. I hope you are having a wonderful new year, and I hope you and your families are happy and healthy throughout 2010!

Instead of a quote for today, I’m posting an update on my writing. I’m excited to share:

• I have a tentative release date for More … March 23! That’s subject to change, of course. I’m getting more and more excited and nervous as the weeks go by. And I’m learning a lot about patience in the process. The book is going through final proofing next. I’ll let you know when it’s added to the Loose Id coming soon page.
• I’ve renamed my current manuscript from The Whiskey Sipper to Breathe. It’s still a tentative title at this stage in the process, but I think it fits the book better.
• I’m getting ready to do another pass of revisions to Breathe.  So far I’ve gone through the entire manuscript from beginning to end one time through. I have no idea how many passes I’ll make this time, but my guess is that I still have a couple months of work left on it. I’ll let you all know when it’s done and sent off.
• I have two short stories I’ve written in the last half of 2009. I really like them both, and I’m debating what I want to do with them. I was going to put them on my website as freebies, but I think I’m going to submit them to a couple anthologies for 2011. If they aren’t selected, or if I decide not to submit them, I’ll put them up on the site. I’ll let you know when I’ve made a decision.

2009 has been a wonderful journey to publication, and I want to say thanks for all the support and encouragement I’ve received from the various on-line readers and writers of LGBT fiction! I’ve learned so much in the past 2 years and have enjoyed getting to know everyone.

Thanks for stopping by today,

Sloan Parker
