Today's six is more from my recently contracted I/R m/m novel Can't Make You Love Me. Sean and Dylan may just be moving into the Friends With Benefits category.
Sean’s voice deserted him and his breath caught in his throat. He’d turned over and caught sight of Dylan standing in the doorway; he was still wearing his shirt, but nothing else. Sean couldn’t stop his eyes from taking in the lower half of Dylan’s body once again, but Dylan didn’t shy away beneath his gaze. Sean hadn’t expected Dylan to come back, so to have him standing there was shock enough; but what surprised him the most was that, even from his position across the room, Sean could see that Dylan’s dick was totally hard. There was no mistaking that rigid look to it. He looked up to meet Dylan’s eyes and saw doubt there mixed with something else he couldn’t read.

Six Sentence Sunday 8/7/11
Today's six comes from my recently contracted I/R m/m novel Can't Make You Love Me. Sean's in love with his best friend. Too bad the friend is straight.
Sean let out a long, slow breath and threw himself back on the bed, wondering if he was ever going to get over what he was feeling for his best friend. He couldn’t go on like this. Simple looks would send his mind racing, off-hand touches that he was sure Dylan never even thought about sent him fleeing to the closest bathroom for a furious jerk off session, and what he’d seen only a moment ago had successfully reduced him to ruins. He knew he wouldn’t be satisfied until Dylan finally gave him the fucking he so desperately wanted. Which meant he’d never be fulfilled, because Dylan could never know about his sexuality. He’d never speak to him again.
For more emotional turmoil, check out the other author's blogs. You can find a list of them here.

Today's the Day
So today marks the end of a very long journey for me. I'm no longer on the road to becoming a published author. And that's all because my debut novella Sparks Fly is up on the Etopia Press New Releases page! I can see myself doing the happy dances all day. So, this is the time. Whoever's been following my blog tour, this is your chance to win the free copy. For anyone who may have missed my tweets yesterday, sentence number four is, "The wall it had entered shimmered and rippled as if it was water, then stilled." Sentence two is at Tristram La Roche's Site, sentence three is over at Amara's Place, and five is on Cat Grant's blog right now! And sentence one is about three posts behind this one.
Leave the order you think they go in along with your email address and preferred format in the comments. Good luck!

Six Sentence Sunday 7/31/11
Today's six (my very first) comes from my Etopia Press release Sparks Fly, due out this Friday. In the story, all the women have died and some of the remaining men turn to their fellows for the sexual contact they so desperately crave. Eduardo, who's one of my heroes, is one of those men. At first, anyway.
"The lips wrapped around him didn’t loosen, but followed him down, suckling him until every drop had been drawn from his twitching dick and he had to forcefully pull himself out. When Eduardo opened eyes he didn’t in all truth remember closing, what’s-his-name was staring at him, a very self-satisfied look on his face as he licked his lips, presumably to lap up any remnants of Eduardo’s seed.
For one delirium-fueled second, he thought he saw a flash of silver in the twink’s eyes, but a second later he was sure he’d imagined it. After all, people’s eyes didn’t just change color and change back, right?
Eduardo struggled to his feet, disgust washing over him as it always did after one of these sessions. He tucked himself back into his pants and readjusted his suit jacket."

I Want To Play A Game
So we're less than two weeks away from the release of Sparks Fly! Excited sooooo can't even describe what I'm feeling right now, and I already know it's gonna be even worse come release day. That being said...
A couple weeks ago, I hit 99 followers on Twitter. So I said that if someone could help me hit 100, I'd give away a copy of Sparks Fly once it releases. Thanks to good friends Dee Carney and Shoshanna Evers, I'm now at 126. Thank you, once again, lovely ladies. So I've been agonizing over how I was going to do this giveaway without just randomly selecting someone because hey, if I do that, what if the person who randomly wins it randomly doesn't want it? That would suck, to say the least. So I've devised a little game...
At the moment, I have four stops left on my Sparks Fly Blog Tour. At three of those four stops, I'll be posting a random sentence from the story. There will be a sentence from each chapter and, whoever can put these sentences in the correct order, or closest to it, will win a free copy on release day. Just make your way back here and, in a comment on a post that I'll put up on release day, post the sentences in the order you think they go in. Sounds like fun, right?
The first sentence is "Once again, Eduardo tried to stop the moan that rose in him like they would rise when he’d been with Jade, strong, powerful…unstoppable."
The second will be revealed when I guest on Tristram La Roche's Site later this week. The third will appear when I stop by Amara Devonte's Blog on August 1. The fourth I will tweet on August 4. The fifth and final sentence will be unleashed upon the world on release day when I blognap Cat Grant's Blog for a day of insanity and laughing uncontrollably.
I hope you'll play my game with me. And congrats in advance to the winner!
And duh! Sparks Fly releases on Friday, August 5 from Etopia Press!

Announcing the Sparks Fly Blog Tour!
So I finally got a release date for Sparks Fly, my debut urban fantasy/m/m/post apocalyptic horror novella from Etopia Press. Friday, August 5, 2011! In celebration, I'll be embarking on a promotional blog tour.
So far, I'll be visiting Angela Kay Austin's Romancing The Pen on July 17, I'll be over on Cat Grant's Blog on release day, and on Shoshanna Evers' The Writer's Challenge on August 8. I'll also be guesting on Tristram La Roche's Site, we just haven't firmed up a date yet, so more details on that one to come. Anyone else want to host me, feel free to contact me.
I've seen the mockup of the cover and I absolutely love it. Just a couple of little things that have to be tweaked, and then I'll do the mass unveiling on Friday. I'll just say for now that Etopia has some talented artists working for them.
Also, I'll be doing some giveaways, both on this blog and the others. So stay tuned for more details.
