I have a snippet of The Sorcerer's Guardian for you today. Savarin and Loriot were sent on a journey by the prince, during which they irritated each other and eventually fell into bed, with the agreement that their affair would last only until they returned home. They arrived back home at the end of their journey late at night, and spent what remained of the night at Savarin's house. This scene takes place early the next morning. (I went a little over six sentences this week—sorry!)

​I'm visiting Lex Chase's blog today for Flash Fiction Friday. You can find my story about a weary traveler whose flight home doesn't end up being so bad after all over here. Let me know what you think!

We're well into April now (somehow!), so it seems to be time for a update. First, an exciting thing: I finished the draft that I've been working on! It's untitled (of course—I'm so bad at titles!), but this is the fantasy romance between two princes, Edmund and Arden, who should not fall in love with one another but do, while trying to avert war and catastrophe and uncover a plot. I'm revising it now, and trying to keep myself on track. For some reason, I always slow down during revisions, but I'm really trying to push through and get this all finished. February and March were productive writing months for me, and I need to keep that going in April's revisions. I really like Edmund and Arden and their world, and I hope you will too when you meet them. It's been fun exploring and creating someplace new. I can't talk too much about other characters at this point because no one has a definite name other than Edmund and Arden. I have so many names to decide on! Which is actually kind of fun. I've always loved names, and I have a stack of name books I'm going to comb through to find the perfect ones. 

Once the revisions are done, I plan on writing Tournai 6 (which also, of course, is untitled). I'm excited to get back to Tournai, and I have all sorts of ideas running around in my head for what comes next. You haven't met one of the main characters in Tournai 6 yet, but the other is Maxen, Tristan's brother, whom you met in The Scholar's Heart. After that, I guess we'll see. I still have a contemporary I'd like to finish, and the current project is the first in a duology so at some point I'll start on that as well. Edits for The Dragon's Devotion, the fifth Tournai book, should be starting soon too.

In other news, I'll be at Rainbow Book Fair in New York City on April 29th, so if you're in the area, come see me! I'd love to see you. I'll be selling books, as will many other authors of LGBT books. And lastly, the Tournai books are 25% off at Dreamspinner through April 17th.

From April 12th through April 17th, the entire Dreamspinner Press store is 25% off! Sounds like a good time to stock up! You can find the Tournai books here.

This week was pretty busy again so I'm giving you a random snippet again. This one is from The Prince's Consort. Philip has asked Amory to marry him, but Amory is worried that marrying him isn't best for Philip as prince. (It's a little long this weekend. Sorry!)

Does anyone else feel like the year is just rushing by? I can't believe it's April already! March was a busy month for me as I worked toward finishing up a draft, but I got some reading done too. Here are a few books that I enjoyed in March:

A Boy Called Cin by Cecil Wilde: A Boy Called Cin is a May-December billionaire Cinderella-type romance between a bi trans character and a bi genderqueer character. It was a sweet, slow romance, not particularly angsty and just beautiful. The time jumps toward the end were a bit abrupt but that is my only complaint.

The Lawrence Browne Affair by Cat Sebastian: This was a lovely, swoony romance, and I loved Georgie and Lawrence—the con man and the earl who thought he was mad. They were just wonderful together. 

Danced Close by Annabeth Albert: Danced Close is now one of my favorite books in this series. It can be read as a stand-alone so you can jump in here if you like. I loved Kendall, the wedding planner who is gender fluid, and Todd, a recovering addict working at a bakery and putting his life back together, and I loved them together, how they accepted each other. 

Echoes in Death by JD Robb: I've been reading this series since, I think, I was in high school, which is sort of mind-boggling if I think about it. This is the 44th book in the series, and some are more enjoyable than others, but I always know when I pick one up that I'm going to have a fun visit with some favorite characters.

Prince & Pirate by Elliot Cooper: Prince & Pirate is a thoroughly enjoyable low fantasy with romance, adventure, and pirates. I had lots of fun with this book.

What have you read and loved this past month?
