The Dead Bird Derby! (or, why I hate Thanksgiving)

  Posted by Christoarpher , 24 November 2011 · 1,053 views

Well, here we are, boys and girls and whatevers, another Thanksgiving is upon us. I?ve come to the conclusion that I dislike Thanksgiving and almost all it stands for.

For starters, why do we have to have a special day to be grateful for our blessings? Is that not artificial? OK, cool, here we are, fat, rich, and happy. Let?s drop a box of mac & cheese...

Have you read ?Amor Prohibido??

Why the heck not? This is a fun, fresh read from another new author on the m/m scene. I never know what the boundaries are between a really long short story and...

Updates

  Posted by Christoarpher , 15 November 2011 · 813 views

Since I managed not to sleep much last night, effectively making writing or any other endeavor more complicated than feeding my pie difficult, I thought I’d post a few updates.

My short story, “The Advent Calendar,” will be released by MLR Press on November 27, 2011. By happy coincidence,...

Come out and play

  Posted by Christoarpher , 11 October 2011 · 760 views

Today’s National Coming Out Day. Tonight, twenty-one years ago, more than half my life ago, I came out to my mother. The entire experience was paradoxical, something I thought would be a mere formality turned out to be a Very Big Deal, something I’d feared doing for years became one of the best things I ever did.

I knew I was gay long before I...

Jumping up and down on the street corner while buck naked

  Posted by Christoarpher , 11 September 2011 · 1,129 views

Huh, it hasn’t been nearly as long as I’d thought since I updated this, just late July. That means I only let one month go entirely without posting. I’m such a bad, boring blogger. I’d promise to do better but we all know that’s a lie.

I had two rounds of edits Tipping the Balance, plus galleys, in August, and that...

First edits for Tipping the Balance

  Posted by Christoarpher , 22 July 2011 · 648 views

Last Sunday I received the first edits for Tipping the Balance. I don’t want to say I’d forgotten about it, because let’s be real. It’s my second novel and I’m shallow that way. But the email I received when it entered the editorial queue said something about 8-12 weeks, which would’ve put it during my...

Newsy!

  Posted by Christoarpher , 03 July 2011 · 701 views

Quick update: Tipping the Balance has entered the editorial queue. Since I just received the contract three weeks ago, I’m surprised how fast this is.

On other fronts, I’m working on the storyboards for my next novel. The working title is The Answer to His Prayers (A2HP), and it’s a gay riff on Pride and Prejudice. I...

Teaser: Tipping The Balance

Posted by Christoarpher , 21 June 2011 · 660 views

I received the contract for the follow up to Rocking the Boat, Tipping the Balance, about a week ago. So it's a done deal. It'll be out in late September or October (hey, just in time for the HOCR!). But I thought I'd post a sneak preview teaser here on All Oars before it goes up on my other, non-rowing blog. Because you're...

Foaming at the mouth

  Posted by Christoarpher , 12 June 2011 · 982 views

I just got a Google alert. Apparently Rocking the Boat has just appeared on a pirate site. I knew it would only be a matter of time as many of my fellow authors have experienced this same dubious honor. In fact, not long after I joined Dreamspinner Press’s authors’ group piracy was a one of the topics that people discussed in depth.
