Editing sticks in my brain. I lie awake and think of scenes that bug me, or things I’ve been meaning to change, or things that might be inconsistent. Right now, it’s money that’s driving me crazy.
I’m trying to keep track of how much money the character has on him, when he last ate, that sort [...]

Hey, y’all. I just saw from Jessereviews (NSFW, FYI, BTW) that there are some buggy copies of the Tenth Man ebook drifting around out there. If you have a copy with a problem, email Prizm and let them know so they can get you a readable copy. Then post below, because the first three people [...]
Review of Handbook

Good lord. I’ve seen my books in YA (which makes sense), SF (also, makes sense), and, randomly, sports. Now Fictionwise has Tenth Man and Handbook in erotica. Do not my my book for erotica. Or sports. You will be disappointed.
I went for a coffee and then had a look at Amazon.
NOW I THINK I HAVE ENOUGH ENERGY TO GO TO KARATE.

It looks like Amazon has moved Handbook from the YA lists. Honestly, considering the content, I think this is probably a good move on their part. As I told Sarah, I don’t think we’re in danger of having our kids reading themselves into depravity, but I equally wouldn’t want my 13 (hypothetical) year old reading [...]
