Different Strokes: Introducing Tomas and Darren!

Different Strokes comes out in exactly two weeks. Woohoo! I am super duper excited about that, and particularly excited about the boys! Here's a little introduction to the characters, as gorgeously illustrated by the talented and beautiful Natasha Snow:


So what do you get when you put those two together?


If you like fluff and want to hang out with a grumpy Olympian who meets his match in a cute and sweet massage therapist, then keep an eye out for more of Tomas and Darren. :D

I hope everyone has a safe, happy, and healthy Thanksgiving weekend! I'm thankful for the awesome friends I've made throughout this fun and crazy Different Strokes journey.

Different Strokes is available for preorder right now at a 15% discount on the Less Than Three Press website!

Do you like cartoons? Because I like cartoons! =D From Gummi Bears to Inspector Gadget to Snorks to X-Men, I grew up with cartoons and still haven't let them go. *coughs The Incredibles coughs*  Sooooooo...here's a quick cartoon teaser for Different Strokes for you all!


Amazing, right? *dreamy sigh* I love those little cuties, and they're now cartoon cuties thanks to the awesome talents of Miss Natasha Snow!

I'm reviewing for Penelope's Romance Reviews!

Hi all! Just a quickie - update, that is. ;) Recently Penny Watson approached me to do m/m reviews for her site, Penelope's Romance Reviews.  Penny writes quirky and beardy (hehe!) m/f contemporaries, and her blog features a bunch of cool stuff in addition to reviews, too.

I'm really honored to be included in Penny's crew, and it should be a lot of fun. =) I just wrote my first review for her, so check out my thoughts on Amy Lane's The Winter Courtship Rituals of Fur-Bearing Critters here.

On a related note, I feel a teeeeensy bit of pressure picking m/m books to review for a crowd that might not necessarily read m/m frequently or even at all. I want to pick something that won't be too graphic or outrageous (so, yeah, no tentacle sex...yet?), but also something that represents m/m romance well. I generally read sweeter, non-angsty stuff, so it'd have to fit into my overall reading preferences, too.

If you have any suggestions, feel free to leave a comment! =)

Cheers,
NJ

Pet Adoption Saves Lives


I recently came across this comic strip, and it really hit home for me. A little over seven years ago, I adopted Nico-kitteh from a rescue organization that pulls pets from NYC-area animal shelters. There were a lot of pets in the foster home, and they could all stand to win a little in the lottery of life. Nico has brought me so much happiness and joy, and I can't imagine my life without him in it. As we come into the holiday season, please be responsible in making the decision to bring a pet into your home.

Pets are a lifelong commitment, so before you spring one on someone as a surprise gift, please consider why pets make bad gifts. However, if you've carefully considered everything that goes into welcoming a pet into your life, then please consider rescuing a shelter pet. You'll save a life, and that just feels good. =)

Here's a treasure trove of tumblr goodies about shelter adoption. They made me smile, and I hope they bring a smile to your day, too.
