I love music... but it's gotta have lyrics for me to really love it.
Here is the soundtrack to my novel Caged.

Interview at The Novel Approach
SALTY DOGS, SPICY LANGUAGE? WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM PIRATES? WELCOME BEY DECKARD AND A GIVEAWAY!
TNA: Hi, Bey, thanks so much for being here with us today. Why don’t we start with the sharing part of the interview? Would you tell us a few things about yourself: hobbies, interests, odds and ends stuff?
Bey: Hmm open-ended questions… those are the ones I’ve never been good at answering. I’m still trying to figure out what people want to know about me and what is considered over-sharing. *laughs* Is emoting ok? I like to emote.
Well, let’s see… when I’m asked about hobbies, the first thing I always say is that I collect skulls – which is the truth – but it’s not like it’s an active hobby. I just have a whole bunch of them around the house.
Mostly, I like going down to the local pub for a pint with a buddy. I watch a shitload of movies and TV. I get tattooed or pierced. I draw and paint. I do pro bono web work and graphics for certain companies, associations, and dog rescues.
TNA: Yeah? What’s your favorite tattoo? What makes it your favorite?

So Many Words, So Little Time
Slowly creeping up to 50% on Beyond the Spires. I keep thinking that I should put up a teaser chapter somewhere, but unless you've read Caged, there's at least one big spoilers.
And I personally hate spoilers.
Another chapter done of Spires. Next is a chapter for a different writing project. After that, there will be another chapter for my gladiator book - Sentenced to the Sword (I'm still looking for beta readers)
So many words.
I'm waiting for my first really bad review to see how I feel about it. I have been reading through bad reviews of other books on both Goodreads and Amazon, and I'm amazed at the range of complaints and the sheer vitriol of some of these reviews.
Can't lie... makes me a little nervous.
Caged: Now available on Kobo!
Finally.
I had to submit it myself through their publishing site because after over a month, the version submitted through Smashwords had yet to show up. Less than 24 hours after I submitted it myself, here it is.
Grey skies… cozy on the couch with my dog.
Finished chapter 10 of the sequel to Caged - working title "Beyond the Spires" - and it's going well. I like the pace at which its going, considering I'm also in the middle of a collaborative project with another author (which just hit the 35K word mark this week).
I keep wanting to release excerpts of the WIP but there are spoilers. I wonder how other authors deal with that? Personally I'm the type of guy who absolutely hates spoilers - I go out of my way to avoid them as much as I can, which includes trying not to watching movie previews. (I am currently refraining from looking up anything about The Grand Budapest Hotel - the new Wes Anderson movie.)
I've been looking for a new desk, something antique and sturdy. Working on the couch is going to do in my back eventually.
I got confirmation for the date that my book participates in "Don't Buy My Love" at the Goodreads group M/M Romance - May 16th. Mark your calendars with that date if you want a free e-book in exchange for writing a fair review!
