Evil Or Not?
I had the idea for this blog post bouncing around for a while, and then Tuesday happened. I’m not going to spend time on politics here for various reasons, but let’s just say that I have been very tired this week, and a lot of my computer time was spent zoning out to mindless stuff. […]

Jumping on a Bandwagon
Heyo! I’m alive, the babies are wonderful, but blogging and writing has taken a bit of a backseat, as I expected. Also, I am apparently a masochist, since I let myself be talked into doing some work from home earlier than I expected. Meh, I might have gone back for a few days this summer […]

Copycats
It’s been said for a while that there are no truly original ideas anymore. Which, well, maybe. I haven’t decided whether I agree or disagree with that, but I subscribe to the concept that it’s all about how you spin an idea and make it your own, and not whether the core ideas are similar […]

Recapitulation
The Disintegration sequel (working title so I can make the label: The Fall of the Midnight Scorpions) is underway and the words are flying onto the page. I know I was hesitant to begin this one for a while, but all of my misgivings are gone. Despite having a touch of the flu (I could […]

Decision
In case you missed the facebook announcement and it’s not showing up at the top of your screen, I first need to point out that this site/blog is now finally under its own domain, woo hoo! www.thealanden.com is up and running, and hopefully will continue to be for a long time. Anyhoo! In my last […]

Callum and Ro
I treated myself to some more commissioned artwork at deviantArt, and I am thrilled with the results! Here’s Callum and Ro at the beginning of their first intimate scene: Artwork by Agregor. You absolutely want to check out the rest of his gallery (though be warned, there is plenty of nudity!) Let’s have an accompanying […]

The “Disintegration” Release! (and Giveaway!)
Disintegration is out from Double Dragon Publishing today! (And is coming soon to your favorite retailer!) I’m so excited about this book, I can’t even begin to describe it. This is, hands-down, my most favorite thing I’ve ever written to date, and I’ve been looking forward to sharing it. I have two e-copies up for […]

Disintegration Prequel #3
Here is is, the last of the Disintegration prequels. This one focuses on Ro, who’s become one of my favorite characters. This one’s a bit longer than the other two, but with more plot comes more naughty activities! I’m going to try to have the e-book collection out by the end of this week, if […]

Disintegration Prequel #2
Happy Monday! (An oxymoron, I know.) If your weekend was as dreary as mine and if the coffee just isn’t cutting it for you today, then I think we can all use a little pick-me-up. The release date of Disintegration is getting closer and closer; let’s have another free prequel! I’ll be honest – this […]
