Book Trailer for Stealing Wishes May 30, 2008

I have to admit I have never really been into these, but they seem to be all the rage right now.  Hey, if it will sell some books I’m all for it.

So, without further delay, here it is….the book trailer for my new book, STEALING WISHES, due out in June…

 

Memories May 28, 2008

Here’s a picture of me and J from 2003.  It was taken at a book signing and reading for my first book, The Other side of What, at the Memphis Gay and Lesbian Community Center.  The GLBT Bookclub had chosen my book as their monthly selection and invited me to participate in a discussion and sign copies.  Wow!  Hard to believe that was now 5 years ago!

George Michael on AI May 22, 2008

He said he had a cold, but I think he did just fine.  Still looks good too!

 

Congrats to New AI David Cook! May 21, 2008

Well, I said it all along. I thought David C would win up until last night. I just wasn’t into him last night, but lil David A was a knock out. I really thought last night would have done it for him. But who cares about them now? Tonight’s finale was awesome! Brooke White was great. Carrie Underwood, Donna Summer, ZZ Top, One Republic, and George Michael!!! WOW! And GM is going to be touring again? Loved his performance tonight! I’m so buying the Listen Without Prejudice album all over again (I owned it on cassette when it first came out).

 

Another Blog May 20, 2008

Not that I needed it, but I’ve opened another blog over at Queer Writers.  I’ve been a reader and supporter of this site for a while.  It’s recently received a makeover.  You can sign up for free, join groups, and yes, start a blog.  Check it out!  It’s like MySpace for gay people.

 

Anne Rice shows support for GLBT Writers! May 20, 2008

Go Anne Rice!  Check this out…

When Anne Rice first ordered this authentic Chinese wedding dress to be fashioned entirely out of black fabric, the Chinese dress-makers refused, fearing that to do so would bring bad luck. But bad lack was nowhere on the horizon when the mega-best selling author wore the finished product as she promoted some of the most successful novels of her entire career. Complete with a feathered head-dress that combines elements of traditional New Orleans Mardi Gras with the more classic costume styles of Venetian Carnivale, this elegant, floor-length gown features elaborate beading across the chest and shoulders. This one-of-a-kind gown is a sumptuous artifact from a more extravagant and spectacular time in the life of one our nation’s most famous and controversial novelists.

Auction runs until May 20, 2008. Opening bid is $500.

All proceeds from the auction benefit Lambda Literary Foundation’s Retreat for Emerging LGBT Writers
