thatrcooperAh! Back! Where have I been? Exhausted. I work retail as a day job. This means this is my busy time of year.
However, I did manage to do a little something. A wee little Thanksgiving story, for those interested. It's up on Amazon.
Vincent's Thanksgiving Date
Socially anxious Vincent has resigned himself to spending Thanksgiving alone this year, just him, the parade, and some pie. The last thing he expects is Cory, the handsome neighbor he's been daydreaming about, to knock on his door with a holiday crisis of his own. Vincent would love to help him, but he's afraid that the more time Cory spends with him, the sooner Vincent's anxiety will drive him away.
What he doesn't realize is that Cory finds Vincent's gentle ways adorable and has been waiting for a chance to talk with him. Cory also firmly believes that a day like Thanksgiving should be spent with the people you want to be around--and he wants to be around Vincent. If that means pretending to need help in order to coax Vincent from his apartment, then Cory is willing to do it. The only potential hitch in the plan is Vincent himself. Can Vincent gather the courage to go after what he wants? Or will he spend his Thanksgiving exactly as he planned, with only a pumpkin pie for company?
(Ugh. The cheese in that description! Shameless cheese!)
For those who don't follow me on Tumblr, you might not know that Dreamspinner has accepted both A Beginner's Guide to Wooing Your Mate *and* Little Wolf. Those are both Beings stories and they will be out next year. A Beginner's Guide first, for reasons that will be obvious when you read it.
This is yaaaay! news, I hope. Although it means I will basically be spending December editing two books. WOE. I have also been trying to finish a collection of Beings short stories... why I don't know but I wrote a few and then kept going. One more (I think) should finish the set. Then... idk. Something.
I still fully intend to do something for charity, but between the lifting at work and the typing, I am also trying to avoid carpal tunnel. (No word yet on the renewed date for the auction, but Carly Rose is still having health issues, so I'm hardly going to pressure her.)
Aaaaand, now I am going to reward myself for posting that story with some wine and pie.
That story is so self-indulgent and I don't even care. lalalalala
(But who wouldn't marathon Shelley Long movies?)

But I've downloaded stuff from Amazon in epub and html formats, which don't have to go on a Kindle. Maybe that was a while ago? Do they not let people do that anymore?

Cooper story ;) Also discovered and ADORED Casper Gets His Wish, so it's a win all around.
