I was interviewed virtually by Lila Munro at Realmantic Moments yesterday. I apologize for the late notice; I thought the interview was coming out today. It includes an excerpt from my Paramourtal story, “Sympathy From the Devil.” Three or four other interviews with authors from the anthology are available under Lila’s Musings.

My characters were interviewed meta-virtually by Sherry Gloag at The Heart of Romance blog last week while I was busy packing. I apologize for the even later notice; I thought the interviews were coming out next month, but that turns out to be when the reviews will appear.

As part of being back on the wagon, I wrote a new story this week and submitted it to Writers of the Future—-at 11:50pm Thursday night, thanks to their new online submissions policy. Today I finally got around to logging it and my NaNoWriMo novel in my giant writing spreadsheet, and I noticed that I’d gone over the million word mark back on November 30th. Since I started writing in the summer of 2001, I also managed to do the whole thing in just under 10 years.

School’s out, probably for summer, and I’ve been inspired to blog again by the recent flurry of posts on self-publishing. But when I logged in after all these months since NaNoWriMo, Drupal distracted me from my intended topic by telling me I’ve been a member of my website for over six years.

A few sites now have reviews of Paramourtal up. The Paranormal Romance Guild gives my story (“Sympathy From the Devil”) 5 stars and calls it a “[f]un tale with a funny ending.” Clara Hanoux summarizes it as “cute” and says, “This might just be the best story of the anthology!”

Paramourtal is up for sale in Kindle format and many more at Smashwords, thanks to the ceaseless efforts of editor Kevin Hosey.

The Kindle version of Paramourtal is now up at Amazon, along with the trade paperback:

Paramourtal, a paranormal romance anthology featuring my story, “Sympathy From the Devil,” is now available from CreateSpace. The Amazon listing will be up sometime in the next couple of weeks.
