Maintaining this blog is a lot like the way I keep house. I nominally keep up with its look, making sure it’s largely functional and clean, but never anal retentive about it. I allow a certain amount of clutter to accumulate, but when it nears messiness, I go into clutter reduction mode. Earlier this week, dust bunnies of dog hair commanded my attention. Today, it’s the blog.

Yes, it’s time to declutter its template. Mainly so I can celebrate the cover of my upcoming novel, Inequities, due out from the Orion Publishing Group in October of this year. Part of the publisher’s new Neon imprint, it’s one of several erotic novels planed for publication this year and, as part of a series, it sports a signature look, making it easy for consumers to recognize a Neon novel at a glance.

As I’ve mentioned before, the novel will see at least a British release as part of Orion’s general book trade, but as yet I don’t know whether an avenue for American distribution has been set. Rest assured, I will ask after that and will get the word out as soon as I have it.

But isn’t it cool? My first book cover!

You probably noticed that my reorg includes various new sections and your eyes likely lit up at the the words YouTube, Flickr, and Swag. Yes, more content is coming, all to entertain your curiosity and interest. I promise. Just give me a couple of days to line up my ducks before I open the shooting gallery, OK?

Hopefully, one key, yummy content treat will come your way tomorrow, but until then, how about you click on the Read Some Smut graphic to see new anthologies that include my stories while I return to readying all the new goodies I want to offer? Thanks!
