I’m still on a break from regular blogging, but I wanted to invite you all to my first “Ask Sloan Day” on my yahoo group this Wednesday, August 1, 2012. This is a day once a month where I encourage readers to ask me questions about my books, characters, upcoming stories, writing in general, publishing, or anything else you’d like to ask me (or my characters) about.

Want to see what questions I answer? Want to ask a question of your own? Here’s what to do:

  • Sign up for my yahoo group if you haven’t already at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/SloanParkerDiscussions/ You don’t need to have a Yahoo account to sign up, read more here.
  • Submit your question via the group by sending an email to this address: SloanParkerDiscussions @ yahoogroups . com (remove the spaces).
  • Or, you can send your question directly to me at via this form. Then on Wednesday, I’ll post the question and my responses to the group so everyone can see.

Hope you can join me for my first Ask Sloan Day. I’ve already got some great questions from readers I’ll be sharing. Hope to hear more about what you’d like to know.

See you there!
Sloan

MORE Now Available in Print and a Deleted Scene

Posted on by

I’m thrilled to share that MORE is now available for the first time in print. It’s the same story as the e-book version with a few minor wording corrections/tweaks. The trade paper is available at Amazon, Amazon UK and CreateSpace. It may take several weeks for it to appear in any other bookstores.

To celebrate the release, I’ve updated my website with a deleted scene that never made it into the final manuscript. This is the original scene for what happened when Luke came home early after meeting with his dad for the first time, then Richard arrived, having left his office early. Some of it may sound familiar as a few descriptions and Luke’s internal realizations were eventually merged into the next scene or moved elsewhere. I think this part of the story turned out much better without this sex scene, but I was still sad to hit the delete key. I’m glad I can share it with everyone now.

I hope you enjoy visiting with Luke, Matthew, and Richard.

A Title and Blurb for Walter and Kevin’s Story

Posted on by

It’s a tentative title, and I can’t guarantee it’ll stick once the manuscript reaches my publisher, but for now it’s definitely sticking with me.

Walter and Kevin’s story is tentatively titled How to Save a Life.

Here’s a first-look at the working description…

 

HOW TO SAVE A LIFE

Reporter Kevin Price has a knack for tripping over his own feet. And everyone else’s. He’s in over his head undercover at the Haven, a swanky gay sex club. Five minutes inside and he can no longer deny the truth about his sexuality. Determined to find out why members of the club keep disappearing, he turns to the one man he can’t get out of his head, the sexy ex-cop helping with security. Too bad he doesn’t trust cops. Not since the only night he let himself be with another man.

Walter Simon doesn’t do the club scene anymore. Not since he found love and lost it. That doesn’t mean he won’t do whatever it takes to protect the Haven. He’s not about to let anyone hurt more innocent gay men. Even if that means going head-to-head with the klutzy, closeted, much-younger reporter. Kevin has information about the disappearances. Better to keep him close. And safe.

The two must work together to find out what’s going on before more men end up missing. Neither one is there to hook up or fall in love.

Or so they think.
