If you've registered already, though, thank you for your participation and for visiting the #4 stop-off on the 1RomanceEbooks.com one-year anniversary tour itinerary! Your stop just previous to this one should have been Teresa D'Amario #3 at--

--where you made the acquaintance of the author who adores books with Native American characters, legends, epic themes, rugged settings, and, of course, a love story; those the books she loves to write.

Is it a coincidence, do you think, that Native Americans, legends, epic themes, rugged settings, and, of course, a love story (actually several), play an important role in my teen-angst candle-reader, vampire, werewolf, witch, warlock, demon, dragon, chimera, shape-shifter, tree-spirit, metal-bender, shadow people series FLICKER -- #1 BOOK OF ANSWERS soon to hit the book stands?

Well, as luck would have it, it IS just coincidence, but it's a fortuitous one which I'm delighted to advantage, not only by way of providing pre-promotion for my upcoming series of FLICKER books, BUT by way of promoting the series' signature candles, including "the" purple/blue FUSION candle I've given book-cover prominence--

--AND the upcoming series' signature-scent perfume, SPICE/BERRY FUSION--

--all conjured by wax-artisan and perfumer-extraordinaire Jfay--

Speaking of signature scents, don't forget to check out the absolutely sensational Nosferatu Illume (The Vampire Walks the Light of Day)--

--that's done exclusively for my Vlad Draqual vampire series of books (SUCKS: FIRST OF THE DRAQUAL VAMPYRE CHRONICLES)--

If I'd thought this out more carefully, I might have given away a copy of my Vlad Draqual vampyre book. As it is, though, I AM giving away an:

eBook BOND-SHATTERING, my m/m sci-fi
eBook circuSex: A ONE-HAND READ, my m/m circus-sex erotica
eBook I, DEBAUCHEE, my m/m erotica, first of my "I" series
eBook SS MANN HUNT, my m/m South American adventure

So, please leave your comment and registration number in order to enter the drawings and win ... win ... win.

And if you can tell me in what m/m short story of mine, in which m/m anthology of short stories from MLR Press, I mentioned Xocai healthy chocolate being eaten by one of my characters, it'll give you even more chance of winning.

The next stop on the anniversary blog tour is #5 Bryl Tyne. Is it any coincidence that Byrl, good-looking as hell, is an old buddy and chum of mine?

Well, as luck would have it, it IS a coincidence, but one I'm absolutely delighted in having occur, because I can think of no greater privilege and pleasure for me than to send you along to visit Bryl and acquaint yourself, if not already acquainted, with this author's genuinely marvelous persona AND selection of mighty fine books available for your reading enjoyment.

So, thanks for your visit here, #4, and, now, GET THEE OFF TO Bryl Tyne's place (#5) at --

A LOT GOING ON

I've really been busy, lately. Maybe too busy, with little time to just sit back and relax. That, though, I guess, is what happens when you're suddenly in demand, so I suppose it should be taking full advantage of my "feasting", while it lasts, because authors sometimes have long dry spells between spurts of activity, and I'm no exception; although, I have to admit (knock on wood), it's been a while since I haven't had some project or other to work on.

At the moment:

(1) My BACK OF THE BOAT GOURMET COOKING (being written with my co-author and cousin, Bonnie Clark) is at the printers, Wildside/Borgo, and awaiting printing. Everything pretty much done on it, except seeing it hit the book stands, sometimes, hopefully soon.

(2) AFRICA: SPICE ISLAND LOVE, first of my Seven-Continent Series of m/f romances for the new Passion in Print Press imprint is scheduled for release this month, and I really love the cover done by Deana Jamroz for it.

(3) My teen-angst candle-reader, vampire, witch, warlock, demon, dragon, werewolf, shape-shifter, chimera, shadow people, tree spirit first book of my FLICKER series: #1 BOOK OF ANSWERS, is at the stage where a proof copy of the final book is about to come off the presses; after a final proofing of that, it, too, will hit the book stands. Another great cover, here, this one by artist John U. Abrahamson, based upon a candle done by candle-maker extraordinaire Jfay.

(4) My novel GRIT (co-authored by Jardonn Smith) is in the editing phases with MLR Press, presently scheduled for an August release.

(5) I have one more wine tasting room to visit before I wrap the first of my WILLIAM MALTESE WINE TASTER'S DIARY series of books -- WILLIAM MALTESE'S WINE TASTER'S DIARY: SPOKANE/PULLMAN WA WINE REGION.

(6) I'm giving artist John U. Abrahamson a hand in the writing of his (auto)biography AN ABOMINABLE FANCY. What a life that guy has lived.

(7) I'm packaging a graphic novel, being done by stellar artist Mike Bliss, GOD-MAKER: VAMPIRES OF LONDON which is presently scheduled for completion in August.

(8) MLR Press is re-issuing the print and ebook version of my m/m circuSex, as well as the print re-issues of my SS MANN HUNT and CONSPIRACY OF RAVENS.

(9) FeatherWeight Press is re-issuing the print and ebook versions of my children novel DOG ON THE SURFBOARD AND THE REST OF THE ADVENTURE.
