I’ve completed my migration to a Castbox which will be my host from now on. They have their own distribution app on various app stores so it should be no problem at all to find me and subscribe on your phone if that’s how you pick up podcasts. I’ve separated into two channels — one for regular shows and another for podfics. I only have two but I thought it would be cool to offer a channel just for that.
Reading Time: 1 Minutes I’ve learned over the last week or so that Blogtalk held my hand A LOT on the podcast front. I’m super annoyed by the whole learning curve that I’ve just hit when it comes to podcast creation as a result. For someone who has over 300 podcasts under her belt, I feel kind of dumb regarding the whole process now that I’ve left Blogtalk. I’m working on a new hosting situation and I have all of my content saved. Currently, you can download the content from Castbox and Spreaker. I can’t say when that will change so make sure to snag anything you find useful and if you need a particular episode you can’t find just let me know and I’ll figure out someway to get it to you. The files are kind of huge, so yeah. Anyways, I’m working through it and there will be a solution one way or another before we hit another Rough Trade. I’m going to do everything I can to avoid going back to Blogtalk so just bear with me on that front. We are twenty days out from the Quantum Bang and I’m super excited to share my work with you and the awesome art I received to go with it! Speaking of art, I do have some new art to share that was recently added to my galleries from g-love99. Thanks G! In the meantime, I’ll be hanging out on our Discord servers (CrossRoads & JustWrite) bitching and…

Reading Time: 3 Minutes I’ve got a full plate! It’s always best to be kept busy and I’m certainly managing that this month (and for the next few months on top of that). Rough Trade is in full swing for April and the Quantum Bang has been very successful so far. We had 25 projects come in for the art claim which is stunning! We didn’t expect that many to be completed by May ;-). We’re super proud of all of you guys. I can’t wait to start reading. Even more are finished or will be finished for the second art claiming in May. You guys are just awesome! I’ve some more original works on the plate as well including one about a lightkeeper who gets a summer assistant he’s not sure he can handle. It will be gay historical. I’ve had a great time researching lighthouses. Also I’m noodling Synthetic and trying to rework the concept with original characters after my total fail to write it as an SGA fusion. I’ll have to scrap all the work I’ve written since I don’t want to “scrub” it and present it as original which isn’t totally terrible since I don’t like what I wrote anyways. Happy Spring! New Original Work Coming April 15, 2019 from Cobblestone Press Henri Shaw joins the Pleasure Club for the fun of it, but he longs to explore his deeper sexual desires.

I’ve had a very productive year at least in the background. I know there haven’t been a lot of site updates but I’ve got lots of big projects brewing and I don’t like to post novels as works in progress (as you know). This policy is one reason why I really enjoy posting in episode format. It made posting big works like (Sentinels of Atlantis and Harry Potter & the Soulmate Bond) much easier to manage. Still, there is something pretty righteous about putting together a novel like Courting Hermione Granger — it is an entirely different experience than writing a series of episodes.
