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.

Breathe Sneak Peek

I’ve been working on new outlines for a few weeks now, but today I was missing Lincoln and Jay from Breathe. Hopefully the book will be in edits before long, so I’ll get to visit them soon. Until then I thought I’d share a brief snippet.

Unedited snippet from Breathe:

Jay advanced. For the second time in his life, he didn’t give a shit what anyone else said about his choice in a lover. He seized Lincoln by the waist and crushed his mouth to the other man’s. Lincoln spread his lips and grabbed a hold of Jay. No hesitation. No delay. Everything faded but the strength of that kiss, the power, the depth, the drive of man against man.

No release date yet. I’ll post a full excerpt after it’s been through edits.

Guest Blog: Stretching the Creative Muscles

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.

Blog Announcement: Friday Blog Topics

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

Contract Signed for Breathe

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,
Sloan
