julesjonesOkay, so there seems to be a meme going around both the fanfic and the profic writers...
On the profic front, I saw one book published in 2006 (the Kiss At Midnight anthology was actually published just before, on 28 Dec 2005):
Pulling Strings Science fiction, m/m (gay erotic romance), D/s, more details and excerpts here.
One short story published in Clean Sheets: Lord and Master
One short story accepted by the Distant Horizons anthology.
Two more novels written and accepted by Loose Id, for publication next year --
Dolphin Dreams (100,000 words, more details and excerpts here).
plus a novel-length version of Lord and Master (60,000 words).
One book hit 1000 copies sold, which may not seem like much by the standards of a midlist author, but is still pretty nice down here in the small press.
I had my first translation (into Italian, of an excerpt from Spindrift). And I collected a few enthusiastic reviews.
I did *not* make the short list of the 2006 Spectrum Awards, but given one of the other names on the "other nominees" list, I'm not going to complain. :-)
On the fanfic front... well, I haven't done that for a few years. But I did start setting up a website for the zines and some of my own fic. I'll post a link in the fanfic LJ when I've got a bit more of it done.
