More reviews...

Starcrossed Productions, an exclusively GLBT online sales portal, has had "Turning Point" for sale since mid-April 2007. Just recently two rather positive reviews were posted.

Reviews keep coming in at Amazon as well.

Thank you to all my readers, known and unknown, for these thoughtful words.

Cross your fingers...

I have entered "Turning Point" in the Florida Writers Associations 2007 Royal Palm Literary Awards in the category of book-length published romance/erotica.

Appearances...

I will be speaking at a Knowledge Workshop, Creative Writing for Everyone, July 25, at The Knowledge Shop in Winter Park, Florida.

I have also decided to make a presentation at The Villages Third Annual Literary Festival, in The Villages, Lake County, Florida on October 5, 2007. Details will be posted in the Appearances page shortly.

Stepping out far in the future, I have engagements to speak to writers in Maitland and Osceola County, Florida, in November, and December 2007. Details will be posted in the Appearances page shortly.

A new review has been posted at Amazon.com by author Bett Norris (her novel is "Miss McGhee"). I love coloring outside the lines.

Found yesterday at Amazon.com:

Not a novel to be read lightly
"...to be read slowly and savored over several nights or days"
(read more...)

Turning Point's rating is still 5/5 stars!

Someone wrote code to track Amazon.com sales over the "last 60-days". Here's Turning Point's graph.

...or "GCLS Part 2"

A sampling of pictures from GCLS 2007 and the Friday night reading at Charis Books in Atlanta...(you have to be a member of my mailing list to view them)

An official list of attendees to the conference is available at the GCLS Convention site. However, I shared panels, readings, and conversation with dozens of new and old hands at this writing thing: Lynn Ames, Ali Vali, Radclyffe, Therese Szymanski, Justine Saracen, KG Macgregor, Jane Fletcher, Gun Brooke, JD Glass and Bett Norris.

On Friday night in Atlanta, I read an excerpt from "Turning Point" at the local Feminist bookstore, Charis Books, arranged by the Charis Circle Foundation. My fellow readers were Ellen Hart, Jane Vollbrecht, Lori Lake, and fellow P.D. Publishing author, J.P. (Peg) Mercer. Thank you to everyone who made that evening such a special event. I found out that TP made #1 on Amazon's best sellers list that night from 9-10 pm EST!

"Turning Point" seems to be doing very well. Over at Amazon bestsellers today it had risen to #3 (at post time it was 6th), and I have a new review there. Check out what Bridget O'Banion, a brand-spanking new-to-me reader in California, had to say.

I do my first reading this Saturday, June 2, beginning at 6:00 pm, at Gay Days here in Orlando. Wish me luck.

You can check Appearances at any time for all upcoming event information. I'm looking forward to meeting so many of you as I travel to several bookstores and conferences this summer.
