LHNB Story - Cover Reveal!

Hi folks! Sorry I've been MIA, but I'm currently packing up to move from NYC back to San Francisco next week. In short, life is hectic! As promised, though, here's a sneak peek of the cover for my Love Has No Boundaries story, which I wrote recently as part of the Goodreads M/M Romance group's annual writing event.


Beginning in June and throughout the summer, the Goodreads M/M Romance group will release free m/m romance stories every day (approximately 180 stories in total!), and the only way to get exclusive access to them is to join the group. So if you like m/m romance and aren't yet on Goodreads, why not check it out and see for yourself how great of a community it is? Three stories have already been released as an early membership bonus, and many more stories will follow starting next month.

BTW I Love You will be released as part of the event, and the only way to get first-look access to the story will be through the group. If you missed it, here's the blurb for the story:
When Aidan logs onto the Internet one night during winter break, he hardly expects to meet tall, dark, and handsome Jake - let alone discover over the course of their chats and emails that Jake may actually be...well...pretty much perfect.  However, with Jake studying abroad 8,000 miles away, Aidan soon finds himself struggling with the intense feelings that he's developed for a man he's never actually met.
With an ocean between them and all of the doubts and questions that come with the distance, will their relationship ever find wings? And when they finally meet in person, can their online romance become an IRL happily ever after?
As is par for the course with me, it's fluffy, not-too-angsty, and has cute boys who may or may not have a little sexytimes fun in between the pages. :D

I'm leaving on my cross-country road trip next week, but I promise to post a small excerpt before then. Also, in life news, I went to Turkey last month, and it was awesome. (Maybe I mentioned that already, though?) Anyway, I also just went to Niagara Falls this weekend, and it was also awesome. :) As dorky as it may sound, my favorite part was either getting incredibly wet on Maid of the Mist or straddling the international boundary line between Canada and the US. So cool!


Until next week, folks!

Cheers,
NJ

In completely non-writing-related news...

I'm currently knee-deep in sorting through my apartment as I prepare for my move from NYC to San Francisco. So of course that means I'm finding any and every reason I can to procrastinate. *grins shamelessly* And one of those finds was a Chibi maker. What's a Chibi? Well...


This is a Chibi. Specifically, this is Chibi ME.

Yup, so that's my big reveal of the week. This is pretty much what I'd look like if I were a Chibi, right down to the black tank, grey cardigan, bright corduroys, black flats, and red glasses.  Plus the mug of tea in my hand (can't forget that!).

Anyway, if you're curious and want to make your own Chibi, check out the Chibi maker here at deviantart. But make sure you have an hour to kill because let me tell you - cartoonifying yourself can be STRANGELY addictive. :D

Putting the "pro" into procrastinate,

P.S. Actually, I lied - I have some writing-related news. My short story was accepted by Dreamspinner Press to be included in their next anthology! Woop woop! This is the one that just flowed out of me in the course of 2.5 days. It felt SO damned good to write, and I'm so glad that DSP thought so, too! So keep your eyes peeled for the Cuddling anthology, which will focus on established couples. More info on this story and the anthology later. :)

OMGWTFBBQ - I haz a story for LHNB.

So yes, I submitted my Love Has No Boundaries story last week (a whole two weeks early). Yayzerbeams! I'll keep y'all apprised of the date that it'll be posted to the group.

As a treat for the folks who actually check out my blog, I'm posting a blurb-y type thing right now. :)

Warning: I kind of suck at blurb writing, but I tried. >_< And it's right here:
When Aidan logs onto the Internet one night during winter break, he hardly expects to meet tall, dark, and handsome Jake - let alone discover over the course of their chats and emails that Jake may actually be...well...pretty much perfect.  However, with Jake studying abroad 8,000 miles away, Aidan soon finds himself struggling with the intense feelings that he's developed for a man he's never actually met.
With an ocean between them and all of the doubts and questions that come with the distance, will their relationship ever find wings?  And when they finally meet in person, can their online romance become an IRL happily ever after?
Stay tuned for more tidbits on the story, including the date when it'll be available and the official cover. The cover is pretty simple, but the picture is perfect for one of the scenes in the story. I'll also post a sneak peek excerpt soon. :)

Thanks for reading!
