New Website


Three blog posts in one day…

There is a method to my seemingly sudden enthusiasm for posting, and it’s a one-off.

Along with starting and never finishing stories, over the past few years I’ve been trying to come up with a streamlined, stripped-down layout for my website, the former incarnations of which had lots of pages and lots of content, but mostly it was duplicating what was available elsewhere.

For instance, I had a page for the Hiding Behind The Couch series, but I also have hidingbehindthecouch.com, so that was pointless. All my books are listed – along with blurbs and purchase links – on Beaten Track, and then there are the pages and posts on this blog, and I thought…

Work smarter, Deb.

Which is why I’m posting about my forever-ongoing works in progress today. Twice.

I mean, I have published other stuff in the time that Scene But Not Herd and Alumni – Reverberations have been gathering virtual dust.


See? Not as bad a writing drought as I thought! And I have a lot of titles out there (Meredith’s Dagger was my 50th book, published on my 50th birthday), which is why I wanted a website that was a starting point – a pin in a map – from which all things Deb online could be found.

Simple, uncluttered, easy to maintain.

Unlike this blog post, so I’ll cut to the chase:

LGBT Pride: A Roundtable Discussion

Image
This week on my blog, we're trying something a little different. In honor of LGBT Pride month, I am among a great group of panelists who will be hosting a month long discussion about Pride, LGBT Youth, Allies, and more. Our panelists are a diverse group of readers, writers, and supporters of gay fiction, including Larry Benjamin , Rick Bettencourt , Brandilyn Carpenter , Rob Colton , Andrew Q Gordon , Lane Hayes , Debbie McGowan , and Brandon Shire . Each week, two people will answer two questions related LGBT pride, rights, and related topics. We will also be giveaway free copies of eBooks by our participating authors and a Amazon gift card.

Fat Rage!

Content Warning: fat-shaming, profanity Today is a Fat Rage day. Not a Fat Shame day. Or a Fat Pride day. I have a book out next week*, about Jesse, who's a big guy, and much more polite about all of this than I'm feeling today. Here's a few 'come to mind' examples that might go some way towards explaining why. Actually, forget the examples. I've been sitting on this post for half a day, and the examples included incidents of fat-shaming of friends and their family members. The count DOUBLED in the few hours since I wrote this and then decided I wouldn't post, because my rage simmered down. Let me tell you, it's ready to blow the lid off now. Before I go any further, I'm NOT suicidal. I'm actually feeling quite positive today. But that is today, and that is me. There are people in this world right now who ARE suicidal because of this. Because of fat-shaming. Because of mindless hatred and judgements people have no right to ma

Reunions - Josh and George: Stating the Obvious #RainbowSnippets #LGBTQ

Image
Brief explanation: This is another snippet from Reunions (Hiding Behind The Couch Season Seven), which continues to grow. And grow. Current word count: 209,000. I’m aiming to stay under the word count of Two by Two (Hiding Behind The Couch Season Seven) …now I’ve passed all the other limits I set at the start. ;) Here’s a little more of Josh and George, this time together. Here’s the snippet: Josh looked him up and down as he got in the car. “Whose clothes are they?” “Mine.” George was thrown by the question and forgot to deliver his customary kiss. He attempted to rectify that, but Josh dodged him. He was still eyeing George’s clothes. “Are they?” “Who else’s would they be?” “Well, Jake’s, or…I don’t know. It just dawned on me you came to work in overalls.” “Under which I wear clothes,” George said like he was stating the obvious, because he was, in fact, stating the obvious. Josh remained perplexed. “What’s up?” * * * * * Rainbow Snippets is a group for L
