Waking up to a little Snark

Good morning! Here's a tiny snippet for Saturday Snark from my Goodreads Hot Summer Reads piece. My first attempt at fanfic resulted from the glorious image of Batman holding a naked guy.

"Okay, out you go." I reached over and tugged the blindfold off, then pushed open his door. If I leaned into him while doing it... well, despite rumors to the contrary—and my history with women—I'm only human.

Dale looked small inside the big space of The Cave. He also looked cold—and I needed to regain my equilibrium. "Hmm. Guess the little guy needs a blankie, huh?"

Dale had been staring, starstruck, at all the equipment and furnishings I had spread around. As soon as my comment registered, his head jerked around, and I was treated to a blistering glare. "Hey, asshole! You try walking around buck naked in the middle of winter and see how your jimmy looks!"

I smothered a laugh. "It's almost May."


You can read more at my website.

And join in the Snark by visiting Marie Sexton's blog for more juicy, snippy fun!

What a great week for the It Gets Better Project

This past week, I was hosted on Mrs. Condit's blog. She and her co-host, Lady McNeill, donated $100 to It Gets Better, and generated lots of goodwill and comments on behalf of the project.

We gave away one of my books each day, except our opening day, when Mrs. C encouraged readers to buy a copy of The Book of Wisdom, where all proceeds go to IGB, and Torquere makes a matching donation.

Thank you, Mrs. Condit and Lady McNeill, for your generosity, and for the great week on your blog. It was a blast!

Join me on Mrs. Condit Reads Books

This whole week, Mrs. Condit is hosting me and reviewing some of my books. She is an amazingly gracious hostess, and in fact, is contributing to the It Gets Better Project for each comment made on her review of The Book of Wisdom. This book was part of the 2011 Torquere Press Charity Sip Blitz, and all proceeds go to the Project, with a match from Torquere. You can help by commenting on the 1/16 post, plus you can win a copy of my books by commenting on current posts.
