In case anyone has been wondering where my novel “Heroes & Villains” has gone — it’s off Amazon and everywhere else — it’s very simple: I’ve signed a contract with Less Than Three Press and they will be re-issuing “Heroes & Villains” in the coming months.
I’ll let you all know when it’s available again. I’m very excited and I know LT3 will make my book baby beautiful.

Look, I’ll be honest and say that I have a very weird sense of humor. To that end, I love serious stuff, but I’ve also got a serious hankering for the crackfic. It makes me happy.
So I love slash, crossovers, and crack. What does that mean? Obviously I have MPD, and each one has her own voice.

Summary: Starburst – loser, joke, failed superhero.
Darkstar – powerful, dark legend, supervillain.
Both Vereint Georges
Vereint has spent his entire life dreaming about being a superhero, and now he’s registered his name and set out to make his dream a reality.
Except nothing is going quite the way he planned.
No one respects him. His name – Starburst – is mocked far and wide. And Blue Ice – the hero he’s looked up to for years – thinks he’s nothing but a loser and a joke.
So what other choice does he have but to force the world to respect him?
And to that end he transforms himself into the world’s most feared supervillain. Darkstar.
Set in a world where metahumans are fairly common, Vereint has been gifted with extraordinary power. Unfortunately, with great power does not come great popularity. Not until the good boy goes bad… then the wannabes pop out of the woodwork and bring terror to the world at large in his name (“AS DARKSTAR WILLS THE DARKSTERS FOLLOW.”)
Reminiscent of the comic books of old, the world of “Heroes & Villains” is actually a pretty grim one. With one okay from the CMPF (Central Metahuman Policing Force) a metahuman found breaking the law can lose all of their basic human rights. If they’re lucky, they’re executed. If they’re not lucky… well, no metahuman wants to end up in Butcher Bay.
The good guys in “Heroes & Villains” aren’t so good, and the bad guys aren’t so bad. And Vereint is just a guy that wants to get ahead in the world.
What’s Up:
From Diamond to Coal–Okay, so I’ve got poisoned takeout food, dimensional travel, a dangerous assassin, blackmail, and a mm couple having a baby (not mpreg, though it was a very near thing. Sorry to all those that are disappointed.) I’ve got like 8 years to cover, but I’ve been kinda stuck on year one.
Heroes & Villains–Pretty much done with the editing. Should be sending it out tomorrow. Hopefully :S
The Matrix Effect–Yeah, I went there. I totally did. Should be supremely awesome. That or it’s going to be incredibly terrible. I’m not quite sure where I am with that yet.
Fiends–A mm romance novella. Should be pretty smokey.

And what’s happening in my real life? Well, I went to the library and got P.N. Elrod’s “Dark Road Rising,” and L.E. Modesitt’s “Arms Commander.” Hopefully they’re going to be as good as they look. I don’t know, I’ve been having bad luck picking good books recently.

Also, if anyone knows how I can get Semagic to work with WordPress again, that would be totally the best. I might add your name to my list of special people (which may involve the receiving of cool stuff.)
