Draft Blurb

Lincoln McCaw lost everything–his home, his job, his partner–after he caused a fatal accident. A year later, he’s drowning the guilt and despair in whiskey, but he needs to move on. His sister and her kids are counting on him. Then he meets a man who ignites a passion Lincoln thought he’d never find. Too bad one night is all they can have together. Now he needs to figure out how to turn away from the only person who makes him feel alive…before whoever is sending him threats decides Lincoln needs to suffer more than he already has.

Jay Miller is surrounded by grief and misery until he finally gives in to all those years of sexual fantasies about being with another guy. Realizing he’s ended up in the arms of the man who caused his wife’s accident, he tries to pull away. But can he give up a friendship he needs more than anything–a friendship and a love that could save him? Or will someone else destroy it all?

It’s also been added it to Goodreads if you’re interested in adding it to your bookshelf:

Video I Love: GLBT History Month (& and important link)

October is GLBT History Month. “Beginning October 1, 2010, a new GLBT Icon is featured each day with a video, bio, bibliography, downloadable images and other resources” on glbthistorymonth.com.

Here is this year’s overview video featuring all 31 icons. Take a look and help us celebrate.

And be sure to stop by this blog where, after the recent news of several tragic teen suicides, Katiebabs blogged about her experience to help kids see “it gets better.” She and others are donating up to $775 for 500 comments to The Trevor Project and the Matthew Shepard Foundation. Please stop by and leave a comment to help.

Thanks,

Character Pics for a New m/m Erotic Romance

This week I took a short break from my regular writing to work on character sketches for my new friends-to-lovers story about two best friends since high school, Evan and Kyle. It’s a contemporary m/m erotic romance, and at this time I have no plans for a suspense element. There’s no title yet, but the outline is pretty much done. I also started the first draft of chapter one (just to get all the ideas down).

Here are the photos I’m using for inspiration (not that the character descriptions will be exactly like this, but it gives me an idea to work from).

I’ll keep you posted on the progress. Next I’m going back to working on Walter’s story, but will work on this one as any new ideas come to me.

Have a good weekend,
Sloan
