1. The new Gap billboard of adorable gayness.

2. This review of The Chimera Affair. *draws hearts around Ami from Jakarta*

3. IT’S A LONG WEEKEND, BITCHES! HOLLA FOR QUEEN VICTORIA’S BIRTHDAY! I’m going away with my bestie for a theatre and wine weekend in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Can’t wait to get out of the city and relax.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

My new book is out today!

When young Sebastian Brambani meets a sexy and exciting older man, he’s easily seduced. But for spy Kyle Grant, it’s all business — Sebastian is simply a pawn in Kyle’s mission to acquire a dangerous chemical weapon from Sebastian’s criminal father. Kyle’s life is his work for a shadowy international agency protecting the world from evil, and he can’t worry about what will happen to Sebastian when the job is done.

Sebastian’s unwitting role in Kyle’s plan is the last straw for his ruthless father, who has been embarrassed by his gay son for the last time. But when Kyle discovers Sebastian could be the key to finding the deadly Chimera, he rescues him from a hired hitman and fights to keep him alive. Can a hardened spy and naïve college student take down a criminal kingpin, stay one step ahead of the killers on their trail — and fight the scorching attraction between them?



It's always exciting when a new book is released. A little nervewracking, too, of course. I'm very proud of this book and I hope everyone enjoys it. :)

Relatively spoilery, but it made me super excited for this season:



YES PLEASE! S4 was a largely meh affair, but things in Bon Temps are looking up!

Saw the movie again, blessedly in 2D this time. I'll spare you all my rant (OR WILL I?) about how annoying and stupid 3D is and how it doesn't add anything to my moviegoing experience, and in fact detracts from it. Ugh.

Anyway, I just adore this movie. I really feel like the sum of the parts are greater than the whole, and that small doses of everyone made the characters so much more effective. I didn't love any of the previous movies (Captain America was my fave of the bunch), but Avengers was just so fun. Like most fangirls, I have my Joss issues, but I thought he did a bang-up job. Stuff blew up real good, and it was funny and at times touching. Both times I left the theatre grinning and exhilarated.

Strangely enough, I'm not slashing anyone. (I know!) Totally jonesing for Clint/Natasha fic. I have a Jeremy Renner Problem, and I really enjoyed Scarlett more than usual as Tasha. I loved how in the cute little shawarma scene at the very end of the credits, Clint has his foot up on her chair. I enjoy them very much.

If you happen upon any good fic, please let me know!

I downloaded The Unusuals (see above re: Jeremy Renner Problem) and I'm quite enjoying it. Always loved Amber Tamblyn, and she and Jeremy are cute partners. Of course I know there are only 10 eps and I'm sure there won't be an ending, but it's definitely worth watching for Jeremy. Ep 4 featured some nice shirtlessness. :D

I’ve got The Avengers on my mind in this week’s blog post, as well as Perry Moore’s Hero, which I really want to get out of turnaround hell and make it to TV.

The best pen reviews you'll ever read. :D :D :D

TGIF! Leaving work early (with boss and co-workers) to see the Avengers. Woot!

Please check out the cover for my new book! :D :D :D

This marriage equality commercial totally made me cry!

In other news, TGIF! Have an amazing weekend, everyone.

This week’s blog post is about porn on the internet and how things have changed since I was growing up. Have you ever paid for it? I haven’t yet, but I just might.

In other news, prepare for a dose of OMG CUTENESS. Pictures of a cheetah and yellow lab who were placed together as youngsters and are now BFFs. Awwww. Bless!
