Yes, as a matter of fact. I just signed a contract for the third installment, titled COMING BACK. It is scheduled for an August or September release. I also have ideas for a fourth book with Arthur and Stanley and all the others, but I haven't started writing it yet. Thanks for your interest.(less)

The book is titled Ginger Snaps, and will be released in March of 2018. I love that series too, and I think Ginger Snaps is one of the best stories in the franchise. Dear old Arthur might even get married in this one. Oh, lord, can you imagine what he'll wear for his wedding? By the way, I'm thrilled you enjoy spending time with my friends at the Belladonna Arms. You have no idea how much that means to me.(less)

“He lifted my foot and placed a kiss on the tip of my big toe. That toe had never been kissed in its life. I wondered if it was smart enough to know what had just happened. Would it lord it over the other toes now that it had been singled out and kissed by Frank Wells, or was it just a fucking toe and didn’t know what the hell was going on? Like me.”
John Inman, Shy

“One lone butterfly flapped his wings somewhere in the vicinity of my spleen. He was probably a scout. No doubt six million other butterflies were hot on his heels, if butterflies even have heels.”
John Inman, Shy

“In the cool of evening, in the silent shadowy barn, as we lay watching the sun ducking behind the treetops in the distance, I could hear my heart beating out the rhythm of my love for Frank. And when I rested my head against Frank’s warm chest, I could hear his heart beating out the same sweet song for me.”
