Foreword Reviews Names Luchador Romance of the Year

The past couple of days have been an absolute blur, and I realized that I hadn’t had a chance to to post about this weekend’s Foreword INDIES Book of the Year awards. I’m so honored that Luchador got singled out by Foreword as the 2016’s best Indie Romance, and so proud of all of the Interlude Press authors who were named as finalists and winners of Foreword INDIES, Lambda Literary, and other awards this year. I think it says so much about the overall quality of the books being published by IP, and of the authors it works with. 

I’m especially happy for this little book that could. It’s been an uphill fight at times for Luchador, but it is a book that is close to my heart, and I’m glad it has found its way into a few readers’ hearts, as well. 

Coming in November: "Luchador"

A busy, busy, busy week at RT16, so I’m just catching up, including on a big announcement — the remainder of the IP 2016 calendar, which includes my next book, “Luchador”.

More details to come, but it’s one I’ve been tinkering with for a few years, and I’m excited to set it free: a story of identity, and a man’s coming of age as a gay exótico wrestler in Mexico City’s professional lucha libre leagues. It’s a fascinating world where sport, storytelling, performance art, and business collide. I can’t wait to share it.

See you at #RT16!

I'm looking forward to seeing everyone at the RT Booklovers' Convention in Las Vegas in a couple of weeks! I won't be signing at the book fair this year (still a few months before the next book comes out), but I will be hanging out at the Interlude Press Publisher's Spotlight, the Small Press panel and around the convention in general. And if you haven't read Sotto Voce yet? IP will be giving away copies in the Goody Room and at its Publisher's Spotlight! Drop by, say hi, and I'll sign it for you!

I was in Downtown LA today for a meeting

... and ventured to the LA Central Library, the historic flagship library for the city. It's a beautiful, remarkable building, and just became a little more special (at least for me...)

... the latest addition to the LA Central Library's collection!
