What’s after Wishbone? Styrax the Scarred
Did you read Wishbone and Names of My Beloved and wonder what happened next? I don’t deal well with finishing books. I do not get a warm feeling of accomplishment. I get post-partum depression. After I finished Names of My Beloved, I spent some time writing outtakes that examined various characters’ lives in an attempt…

Cover art: Why are we doing this to ourselves (again?)
I have an aunt who, gods bless her, has written over 140 romance novels. I have a memory dating to some time in the 1980’s of her holding up a genuine paperback copy of one of her romances. “I can’t believe this cover,” she said, pointing out the gray-haired man groping the heroine who, according…

How old is Wishbone?
Answer: He’s eighteen at the start of his eponymous novel. Why? Because characters in erotica are supposed to be eighteen and up. Except in Nebraska and, I think Alabama, where they must be nineteen.
