Even before it’s out the gate, Appetite: A Cut Above the Rest has been nominated for a Rainbow Award!
I am so incredibly intimidated, and excited. Don’t forget, there’s still time to pre-order at a discount. My editor loved the story so much she nominated it for the Rainbow Award, and we’re having fun working on volume two.
In the meantime, there’s more immediate gratification in terms of From the Inside Out – hit up the post for a chance to win a free signed copy of my novel.
Sasha Miller’s review of From the Inside Out, shared with her permission:
I loved this story, NEGL. I started reading it one night figuring I could read it over the course of a week or two, and ended up staying up until the wee hours of the morning when I couldn’t make my eyes focus anymore. ;3
Soren is a sweetheart, and I related to him a lot. He doesn’t know what he wants to do with his life, and he’s sort of coasting along, flying under the radar with his family, his (non-existent) love life, and his future. Then Tru, his online chat partner, suggests they meet up (as the summary says), and Soren’s very careful balance starts to crumble … and he starts to want it to.
I think my very, very favorite thing about this book is that it’s not rushed in the least. With a lot of the M/M romance books that I read (which, uh, isn’t as many as I’d like), the romance is rushed for the sake of the sex, the character development is nonexistent or again, rushed for the sake of the relationship/sex. From the Inside Out is a slow build, and my very favorite kind, that of a first-time relationship.
Soren and Tru build their relationship slowly, in the midst of a dozen plus side characters that have their own lives and personalities. They also fight and miscommunicate and nearly break up and read too much into stuff and not enough into other stuff and just in general are young, inexperienced, and sorting through their relationship and what they want to do with their lives.
Do read this book if you want a nice, long slow build, a character-driven romance that is all about falling in love and making it work.
Don’t read this book if you want a quick read, full of conflict and tension (go check out Andor’s Signal to Noise for that :3).
In other exciting news, I’ve submitted The Fall Guide for publication. Fingers crossed!

Hi, I would like to ask if it’s possible to order the Apetite books also out of US?
I was reading that in fiction form before and would like to read now the full story with these new characters:) I’m not sure if I can order the book to Europe or do I need to find someone in US to buy it and send it to me.
Thank you if you could help and have nice day!
Hello! Yes, you should be able to buy the full published story. Right now, it’s only available in ebook format, but a print version will be available and Less Than Three Press ships internationally. The print copy will be available sometime around August I think?
