Just a quick reminder that the New Literary Issue 2 Release Party is happening tomorrow: Thursday, June 6th 7:00 – 8:30pm at Odradek’s Coffee House in Kew Gardens.
I’ll be reading an excerpt from my short story “The Trouble with Finklesteins” along with an array of Newtown authors.
Stop by and say hello!
Throughout LGBT Pride month there will be lots of contests and giveaways for Werecat: The Rearing.
The first is hosted by LGBT book blogger Elisa Rolle. Just drop a comment at her blog to answer the question: if you could be any kind of animal shapeshifter, what would you be?
Elisa will randomly pick a winner on Monday, June 3rd.
(Please post at her site hyperlinked above with your answer, not on my site!)
My answer: as if it was any surprise, I would be a werecat. A werejaguar specifically, or maybe a were-Bengal Tiger. 🙂

Here’s the book’s back cover blurb:
For Jacks Dowd, a gay college senior who feels ungrounded from his family and life in general, an alcohol and sex-infused weekend in Montréal sounds like a pretty good escape. His Spring Break binge takes a detour when he meets Benoit, an admiring drifter with startling green eyes. A hook-up turns into a day, two days, and then a full week in Benoit’s hostel, making love and scarfing down take-out food. But at the end of the week, Benoit demands that Jacks make an impossible choice: stay with him forever or never see him again.
The night before Jacks is supposed to return to college, he meets Benoit in Mont Royal Park to try to work things out. Benoit springs on Jacks an unfathomable secret: he’s a werecat. He traps Jacks in an abandoned cabin and performs an occult rite so they will be mated forever.
With his dual nature, Jacks can shape-shift at will, and he has amazing new senses and physical abilities. But how will he live as an unfathomable hybrid creature? When Benoit shows Jacks the violence he’s capable of, Jacks may need to find a way to destroy the one person who can help him survive.
Werecat: The Rearing is book one in a series. Sequels will be released in 2014.
