Newtown Literary Issue Two

My short story “The Trouble with Finklesteins” was picked up for publication by Newtown Literary. Now the issue is out and available for purchase here for a mere ten bucks.

Set in my very own neighborhood of Kew Gardens, NY, “The Trouble with Finklesteins” is about a monthly get-together of two longtime friends and flight attendants that exposes hidden jealousies and a terrible secret. A contemporary, realistic story from me? Yes it happens every now and then. I wrote the story some years back during a J.D. Salinger-esque streak.

From their website: “Newtown Literary is dedicated to writers from and writing about Queens, NY and allocates half the journal to these writers and their work.” For more about the journal, visit them here.

I’m so excited to see this project come to life.

The first installment of my paranormal romance series will be coming out from Vagabondage Press on May 28th. The cover art was just finalized.

Werecat: The Rearing is the story of a college senior named Jacks who goes to Montreal for Spring Break, hooks up with a handsome drifter and takes a free fall into the world of feline shapeshifters. The e-novelette will be available for purchase at all the major on-line booksellers (Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc.) and the publisher’s website.

So here it is…the big reveal. Let me know what you think.

Sights and Sounds from Rainbow Book Fair

This past Saturday’s Rainbow Book Fair was fun and energizing!

I wish I had taken more photos, but here’s one from the Bold Strokes Books exhibit booth. Pictured are Joshua Martino (center), author of Fontana, the story of the first gay sports superstar, and Jennifer Lavoie (right), author of Andy Squared, a contemporary gay YA novel.

(Martino is a rather tall gentleman who I had trouble fitting entirely in the picture 🙂 )

IMG_0287Here’s video of my reading from The Seventh Pleiade. The passage is from an early section of the book where the main character Aerander is looking for his cousin Dam. Dam is a novice priest who went missing with two boys named Koz and Leo on the eve of a sacred festival called the Paneygris. Aerander does some sleuthing after a temple ceremony by trying to talk to Hephad, who is one of Dam’s friends in the priesthood.

I’ve been watching this trend over the past few months.

First, there was the announcement that fantasy author T.A. Barron will release the first title in a planned series: “Atlantis: Rising.”

Then, BBC announced that an epic mini-series “Atlantis” is in production and scheduled for airing in the Fall.

Now there’s the news from British media The BookSeller.com that Penguin and Amber Entertainment will collaborate on a book and film called “Atlantis Revelation.”   Julian Fellowes, the creator of “Downtown Abbey,” will be Executive Producer of the film. The book, scantily described as an “action adventure,” has an anonymous author at this stage.

Fall 2013 is the season for Atlantis, including The Seventh Pleiade by Andrew J. Peters!!
