Blurb

Zach is impatient and likes to hurry. Adam likes to take it slow and to tease. But, they’d have worked it all out – if only the end of the world hadn’t gotten in the way.

Zach Benesh is sure his prediction is right – the island colony of Zahara is about to sink into the ocean. Adam Gray isn’t as certain, but he’s happy to follow the intense, brilliant geophysicist into the mountains to escape the flooding. Though he’d be even happier without three hundred other people – and their pets – tagging along. He’d like to have Zach all to himself out there. But Zach’s prediction is right and as disaster begins to unfold towards an unstoppable, inevitable conclusion, the two young scientists must become a team in the fight to save their people. They draw strength from their rapidly developing relationship, but the higher Zach and Adam climb the more difficult the tests they face – as lovers and as men.

B + B = A – Alphas, betas and Higher Ground

If you’ve read any romance you’ve come across the alpha male. We all know an alpha when we see one. He’s a natural leader. He doesn’t need permission or validation. He’s charismatic. He often walks a fine line between being admirable and being a gigantic asshole. Alpha males are fun to read about and work well in stories because they’re dynamic, they get stuff done, and they’re extreme. They’re great for the going on of quests. Or sweeping the love interest off his or her feet.

From dream to release date

From dream to release date – writing Higher Ground

It all started with a dream.

Back in I think 2009 I had a rather vivid dream, which involved me and other people climbing up hills, to rising sea water. This appeared to be in San Francisco, as I looked back to see the top bits of the Golden Gate bridge still just visible out of the water.

Out later this month – Higher Ground

My next book comes out later this month – Higher Ground is released on the 28th of February from Loose Id

Below may not be the final blurb, as Loose Id’s people will no doubt make a sexier and more awesome version. But it will serve for now to let you meet the latest victims – I mean characters – to be chased up a tree and have rocks thrown at them. Say hello to Adam Gray and Zach Benesh.

Linky New Year

I seem to have collected lots of links this month. It’s been a long, long month!

Be sure your sin will find you out – on the Internet

Be sure your sin will find you out – Numbers 32:23

It’s not like a person of the non-religious persuasion like me to start a blog post with a Bible verse, but I do rather like that one. It’s a good one for writers to apply to stories and characters – make sure that a character does will come back and bite them in the ass later. However, today I’m talking about the fact this warning could have been written with the Internet in mind. That Moses dude sure was a prophet!

Liar’s Waltz Print Release Contest

This contest is now closed. Thanks for your interest.

To celebrate the print release of Liar’s Waltz I’m giving away a copy to one person who comments on this post between now and next Friday. Say hi! Say hi even if you don’t want to enter for the book. Having a print release is really exciting in a new way, different from the all the other exciting moments I’ve had over the last couple of years around becoming a published author. I sense a post about the whole e-books and paper books question coming on. Look out for that in a couple of weeks.
