New contract
I'm really happy to announce 2 new contracts with MLR Press. One is a novel, Geography of Murder will be out this summer and the other is a novella Angel Light that will be published in the anthology To Die For in the fall of this year.
Blurb for Geography of Murder: Detective Spider has secrets, not the least of which is his yen for bondage and willing partners. Jason, with his past criminal record is forbidden fruit. But this is one cop who has never played by the rules. He's used to taking what he wants and moving on to his next playmate. He may have met his match with Jason. Can these two find a common ground and build a future together?
Blurb for Angel Light:
City boy Nathan Robertson is lost in a blizzard in the high Sierra Nevadas. Near death, he is rescued by the mysterious rancher Miguel Trevino-Ortez. The attraction between the two is immediate, but something is holding Miguel back. What secrets haunt his life? And what exactly are the meaning of the dreams Nathan is having. Dreams that leave him aching with need and mourning a loss he doesn't understand.

Intro from Pat Brown
I want to say hi to everyone. I just joined the LWS and look forward to getting to know everyone. I'm the author of 2 in print mysteries, L.A. Heat and L.A. Mischief, and several upcoming books. To date all my books take place in Los Angeles, mostly because I lived there for 8 years. I've been writing since I was in my teens, when I lived in London. My first story was published in 1999 and my first book in 2006.
Recently I was in Hawaii for the Left Coast Crime, which was a lot of fun. I'm on the committee for next years LCC, which is taking place in L.A., so in a sense I get to go home. (or at least one of my favorite places)

Looking forward to our next meeting.

I'm delighted to have received word that I will have a Facts & Arguments essay published in the Globe and Mail in the near future. My essay, "My Real Age," was also selected to be recorded for podcasting on the G&M website and iTunes. No word on a publication date yet, but the recording will take place this weekend.

WeLoveAikido.com Launch
How wonderful it is to see this blog grow and grow as our membership claims the successes they so richly deserve!
I'm excited about sharing my own news: the launch of a new website (WeLoveAikido.com) to promote my writing about Aikido, a martial art that I have been practicing for some years now.
Some of the content is sober and reflective but the vast majority is humorous, poking fun at the clunkiness of the learning process and what results when things go awry. To that end I've teamed up with a talented cartoonist (Jon Oaker, a fellow aikidoka) and we have debuted the first of a series of eBooks:
I hope you'll drop in and browse around - and please share your feedback!
Best regards,
Kevin Love

Hello all. I am pleased as punch to announce that the anthology The Caribbean Writer V. 22 is now available, featuring 2 of my poems! My 2 free copies have arrived and I couldn't be happier with the anthology. Copies are available from their website www.thecaribbeanwriter.org and are $15 USD each. I also believe the book will eventually be added to the London Public Library's catalogue, so will be available to take out in the future. - Vanessa
