Alyson published Māhū Surfer in August of 2007 and Māhū Fire in April, 2008. They're going to be reissuing Māhū, the first book in the series, in the fall of 2008. They also published the collection I edited (Paws & Reflect: A Special Bond Between Man and Dog) in hardcover in November, 2006, and trade paperback in November 2007).
My book
blog, about how Māhū got published, the publishing process, and
how I'm learning to promote it.

| Anthony Bidulka, the author of the Russell
Quant mystery series, is a talented gay mystery writer with a very nice
site, at http://www.anthonybidulka.com.
Anthony's a charming guy, and that charm is so evident in his writing, which
is witty and eminently readable. Tony also interviewed my hero, Honolulu homicide detective Kimo Kanapa'aka, here. |

My friend Steve Greenberg has written a terrific, funny book about
great gadgets and the goofy inventors who create them.  |

| Zoe Sharp is the author of absolutely terrific thrillers starring Charlie Fox, a young British woman who leaves the army after a terrible incident and embarks on a path that regularly brings her into danger. Killer Instinct is out of print, but due for a US edition soon; I plan to buy it as soon as it's available. I have the other four and they're all terrific. The next book is apparently to be called Second Shot, and the one after that Third Strike. Do I see a pattern forming here? | |||

| Christine Kling is a great friend and an even greater writer. I've been reading her second book, Cross Current, with my develomental writing students at Broward Community College, and they love it, especially the background of Haitian culture. The other books are wonderful as well, particularly in the beauty and vividness of their descriptions. | |||

Pat Brown is a very talented writer who also critiques my work. Pat's first novel, LA Heat, came out from Alyson in June 2006. |
| Author Julia Buckley has a great blog where she interviews mystery writers. She interviewed me, and the questions were really fun for me to answer, and I think the resulting interview was great. I've also read a lot of her other interviews. Check her out, at http://www.juliabuckley.blogspot.com/. |

My friend Jamie Fristrom (aka James David King) has written
a great novel about the world of the BBS (bulletin board system) in the late 80s,
Dionysus Logged Out.
For those of you too young to remember, the BBS was what we had before the Internet as a way to communicate with each other via computer and modem. The book has been compared to "A Separate Peace," and I think the comparison is valid. This story of a sad soul who may or may not have been gay struck a chord with me-- and I think it might for you, too.
