That book is only available on payhip because I wanted to make several example texts available at the same time. I'm not sure I'm allowed to link it here, but the links for all of my books are available on my website, facebook profile and facebook page.

I've been working on the book off and on for a while now. I know it's taking a long time, and I'm sorry if you've been disappointed waiting on the book. I do plan on releasing it, but I don't have a firm timeline for it.
I appreciate that you enjoyed the first book and thank you for taking the time to talk to me about it.

The most recent book I have under this name is Envy. I wondered what it would be like for a woman who got to be a man for a day. Then I thought about what might happen when she tries to test out all the things she thinks men are able to do.
Also, there had been a lot of talk about women who read and write gay romance and I thought it would be an interesting way to address multiple viewpoints.
All in all, I think the story holds a unique perspective.

From everything. People I talk to, conversations I overhear, things in the news, video games, friends, other books. There's something to be learned and built on everywhere, if you know how to look.

At any given moment, I am working on at least two short stories and two or three novellas. I'm also working on a book that will be novel length and an online serial (I haven't started posting yet), that may go pretty long once I've had time to make some headway on it.

Don't give up. Even when it's hard. Especially when it's hard. It's never easy. There are writers who have been doing it for decades who still struggle to get the words on the page just right. At the end of the day, it's worth it. All the rewriting and insecurity and angst boils down to one thing - you created something amazing and unique. There is no better high than a job well done. No greater satisfaction than sitting back one day and looking at what all your hard work has wrought. Work, every chance you get, for that feeling.

Being able to share my stories with other people. It probably sounds cheesy, but there's very few things that bring me more joy than hearing that someone enjoyed something I wrote or reading a thoughtful review. I write because I love it, but being able to connect with other people is the icing on the cake.

It varies. In no particular order: extra strong tea, vodka, tequila, reading, writing something different, going for a walk, talking with a friend, watching a movie, talking to myself (about the story) or editing/plotting the story I'm stuck on or another story. Basically, I've learned not to let being stuck make me feel like I can't get anything done.
