I have news! Release date for my second release, Breathe, from Loose Id is November 16, 2010. Below is a 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?

Excerpt and cover art coming soon.

Thanks to everyone who’s expressed interest in my second novel. You guys rock!

Today I’m the guest blogger over at the Loose Id Author blog. I’m talking about what I do when I get a creative block. Can anyone explain why this stuff works?

Writing When the Muse Is Asleep

Today I’d like to thank Wave at Reviews by Jessewave for including me in her list of “New M/M Authors Who Rock.” Thanks, Wave! And congrats to all the new authors selected in this three part series. I’m honored to be included in the list.

If you haven’t seen Wave’s site, it’s a wonderful resource for readers and authors of m/m romance. It features reviews, articles, free book contests, polls, interviews with authors, and a new series offering tips to authors of m/m romance from some of the best in the genre. Check it out at: www.reviewsbyjessewave.com.

All the best,
Sloan

I guest blogged at Loose Ends (the Loose Id author blog) today. I talked about creativity and where it comes from. Stop by and let me know where you think people get their creativity. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Stretching the Creative Muscles

Hi all,

No regular Friday “For the Love of” post today. Instead I’m announcing a change to my blog.

Starting next week I’m mixing things up with my Friday posts. I’m still going to continue with my “For the Love of” series (where I post about anything I’m loving including TV, movies, books, websites, articles, news, etc.), but I’m also going to mix in other topics about my writing and m/m romances in general. Topics might include how I got the idea for a story, why or how I created a particular character, pictures that inspired a character or scene, songs that remind me of a story or character, and other topics specific to my work and my writing life, as well as general posts about the m/m romance genre.

I’d also like to hear from you readers…what would you like to see on an author blog? What would you like me to post about?

The number of people reading the blog has increased over the last few weeks. I know there are more people reading than reflected in the comments or followers list. Which is fine with me. I love lurkers too. I lurk on most of the blogs I follow. I want to make this blog something I can enjoy posting to each week, but also something you find interesting and valuable.

Feel free to either comment on this post or fill out this short anonymous survey. I’d love to hear what you’d like to see on the blog

Thanks,
Sloan

I’m the guest blogger over at Loose Ends (the Loose Id Author blog) today. I shared about my writing process and the recent bit of panic with the outline for my latest work in progress, Trapped.

I’m excited to announce that I signed a contract with Loose Id for my second novel, Breathe, a gay romantic suspense. I don’t have a release date yet, but I’ll post the details and a blurb once I have more information.

Cheers,

Hello all. Hope everyone is having a good week and enjoying whatever new book you’re reading. I’m just about to start Edward Unconditionally by Lynn Lorenz. I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time.

Just wanted to let everyone know that MORE is now available for purchase at the following on-line stores:

All Romance eBooks
Fictionwise
Amazon

And it’s still available at Loose Id.

I also wanted to send out a thank you to everyone who has already purchased a copy of MORE. I can’t tell you how thrilled I am with the response I’ve gotten from individual readers. Romance readers are the best!

Thanks for all the continued support.
Sloan

Ever get sad after reading a great book? Do you struggle with trying to read something new after that? Or am I the only one?

Today I blogged at Loose Ends about my own post-great-book blues. You can read more here: http://ow.ly/1KJWV

I have a new author interview at Supernatural Smut if you want to check it out. I talk about why I write romance, reader feedback, and my next project. Thanks to Brooklyn Ann for such great questions that really got me thinking.

Thanks and have a good one!
Sloan
