Updated Release Date for HEARTSTRINGS

Hello ladies and gents! I wanted to pass on to you that I have an official and updated release date for my next musician themed novel, HEARTSTRINGS. It's going to be released on May 18th. I know in my previous post I mentioned that the tentative release date would be the 11th, but there was a change of plans for a special reason. As many of you know, the M/M community lost a very talented author not long ago, William Neale. In honor of him, MLR Press is going to release his final manuscript, HOPE, and will be showcasing it as a single release on April 27th. William's work is more than deserving of having all spotlights on it. Myself and many other authors gladly shifted our release dates to help this happen.

I greatly appreciate everyone's understanding about the change in dates for HEARTSTRINGS. Thank you all, so very much!

Best of 2011 nominee: A NEW NORMAL by William Neale

Hey, ladies and gentlemen. I have some news to share. I just found out that my novel, Black Heart Down, has been nominated at The Romance Reviews for Best GLBT Contemporary Romance. I'm very flattered, but when I looked at the list, one title and one author stood out very strong to me, A NEW NORMAL by William Neale.

As many know, we tragically lost William this week. He was not only a gifted author, but a kind and wonderful man. I wanted to ask, for those who are inclined to vote, please consider voting for his book. If you scroll down to the middle of the page, you'll find the GLBT Contemporary Romance category and A NEW NORMAL is first on the list.

For those who would like to learn more about William, MLR Press has done this post in remembrance of him: http://www.mlrpressauthors.com/2012/03/in-memorial-of-william-neale/

My thoughts and heart go out to his partner and family. May he rest in peace and may his stories continue to live on in the minds of his readers.
