Droit de Seigneur is now available on the Torquere site.
Accolon despises the tedious politics of Arthur's Court, but as a knight, he is obliged to attend. His new squire, Derryn, is sharp-tongued and clever, and takes very good care of Accolon. The pair of them wind up in the middle of a Court conspiracy, holding an enchanted blade and ensnared by a sorceress. Treason, betrayal, gossip and love--Accolon has never known Court to be so dangerous.

Can we all agree that none of you tell my Medieval Literature professor about this novella? Right? Because I don't think he'd be very amused.

I'm over on ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) torquere_social, posting Not Safe For Work excerpts from an abandoned novel that some of you will have seen in an earlier draft. Later on today (well, tomorrow my time), I've got an Arcana, the Ace of Swords called "Droit de Seigneur", due to be released. Wander over, check out the excerpt, heckle from the back row if you like, and I'll be back with a purchase link for the Arcana later.

It's Torquere Press' birthday this month, and to celebrate, they're running an awesome birthday present competition.
And you get to try for lots of small presents, and one really big present. Head on over to the contest form, here on their website, and you'll see you have the options of entering just once, for an e-book reader, as well as hitting the form every day for a month, for the daily prize.
You can find the list of the daily prizes and the names of authors--like myself and Winnie Jerome--who are participating, over here, along with more information.

Kim is in his last year of high school and just hopes to make it through the year without running into any gay bashing. The thing is, Kim is not only gay, but he's transgender, too. He's unhappy and lost in his female body, and his mother has agreed it's time for him to undergo hormone therapy and possibly surgery.
Things get even more complicated when university student Dash joins Kim's mother's coven. Dash is immediately attracted to Kim and they wind up going out together, but when Kim reveals he's a female to male transgender, Dash reacts badly.
With all the other things going on in their lives, will Kim and Dash be able to try again and find happiness with each other?

I wrote Circle of Change after reading a mainstream 'inspirational' romance, which had hand-holding and lingering looks, along with lessons to be learned. For reasons that I can't quite recall, writing a pagan response seemed like a good idea, and now it's available as an e-book. It has hand-holding, and lessons to be learned. And paganism. And trans issues. Wow, does it have a lot of stuff in it that matters to me.
The dedication reads to all the gender warriors I have known. This one is for you. May the Goddess bless you all.

Torquere Press are offering 15% off all e-books, until midnight Sunday (US EST time). Just type 'mom09' for the coupon code at checkout.
And Romance Writers of Australia have invited me to be part of the Perth Romance Roadshow, on May 23rd. I'll be on the panel for the Author Q&A session, in the afternoon.
The Romance Roadshows are one day conferences, where RWAus takes an awesome line-up of writers on the road (Keri Arthur! ~fangirls~), around the states, for members who can't make it to the annual conference. Or members who can, but still want a second conference. Non-members are welcome, too.

I'm a guest blogger, over on Out in Perth, the local queer press. If you want to read my gig review for Big Day Out on the Gold Coast, it's here! Photos are mine too. I'll do a full pic spam here, too, once Out in Perth have finished using the photos.

I'm off tonight, on the first leg off my epic Laney-rocks-around-Australia adventure. My first flight has already been changed (fail, Qantas, fail), leaving me with painful hours to kill in Brisvegas airport before the city wakes up and I can do anything. Unless, of course, Qantas is four hours late with the flight, in which case, it won't matter.
I'll be glad to be out of Perth. 29C minimum? 42C maximum? Anywhere else in Australia is going to be cooler, and probably not actually on fire.

Running the Nullarbor is available in print!
It's listed on the Torquere Books site here. It hasn't appeared on the distributor's site yet (that takes a few days, especially with the holidays), but as soon as it does, I'll let you know. Then it will have an Amazon listing, and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) planetfantastic will order stock in, for people in the Antipodes.
And Bad Case of Loving You made the Uniquely Pleasurable Review Team's Best of 2008 list.
Yes, I am posting early on Christmas morning. Someone had to get up to put the leg of ham in the oven at 6am. And I need to clear up a little before the extended clan begin to descend on my house in waves over the next 36 hours.
Best wishes for the New Year to you all.

It's Year in Review time, when Australian writers compare their published output against The Sean. The Sean is the number of words that Sean Williams--a well-known, awesome and prolific Australian writer--publishes professionally each year.
The Sean this year was 282 000 words.
My published word count? 260 000 words! I made 92% of a Sean!
~does the dance of the Sean~
(If you want to compare this to last year's figures, here's that post)
