\"FinalistMD\"When I saw the full list of books entered in the Rainbow Awards this year I stopped breathing for a moment. There was a lot of competition in the categories where I had entered\u00a0 books. So, you can imagine my shock and delight when I got emails from Elisa Rolle telling me that I had two books in the finals. I was especially thrilled because I didn’t enter any books last year because I didn’t have money to cover the entrance fees.<\/h3>\n

Both books also received Honorable Mention for receiving at least 36\/40 points from at least one of the judges!<\/h3>\n

\"Jaded_med\"<\/a>JADED made it to the finals in the Rainbow Awards for Best Gay Mystery. This book is very special to me. It’s set in Japan, where I lived for 5 years in my other life as a financial markets economist. I’ve wanted to set a book here for a long time, and everything came together for this book, part of my Precious Gems Series<\/a>. I’m very proud of how JADED turned out and think it’s one of my best books yet. An extra special doomo arigatoo gozaimasu to Thea Nishimori<\/a> who was my Japan beta to make sure everything was accurate and up-to-date. The beautiful Anne Cain<\/a> is in the 3rd round of the Cover Contest, so it could use your vote.
\nThanks to Dreamspinner Press<\/a> big sale, JADED is 25% off until 10\/10, so it’s a good time to grab a copy! (http:\/\/bit.ly\/dsp-eml<\/a>)<\/h3>\n

\"Out<\/a>OUT OF THE GATE is another book that’s very close to my heart.<\/h3>\n

I had been dreaming about writing this particular story for a long time. I’m an unrepentant horse lover since childhood and I was dying to write about horse racing. I got to hang out for a month with a local trainer at Golden Gate Fields for research, asking a million questions. Out of the Gate is about a British actor in Hollywood who falls for a racehorse trainer when he and his friends buy a racehorse. I was so surprised how popular this book became. It was a story I wanted to write for several years, but I had no idea how much readers would enjoy it. It’s my biggest selling novel since my debut novel in 2009. It’s blown me away.<\/h3>\n

It’s on sale 25% rebate at All Romance eBooks<\/a> during October, so it’s the perfect time to get your copy! (http:\/\/bit.ly\/are-gate2<\/a>)<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
