UPDATE: The winner is…Colleen C! *~*~* “Secret Garden” by A.J. Harris — Hired by werewolf matriarchs to track down a bad-boy photographer, a private investigator discovers a deep connection with her past—and a secret garden of unspoken, sensual pleasures “The mask is me, but not me.” Just a few days ago, I saw a brilliant lecture/performance on crossing borders and Italian commedia dell’arte. One of the performers put on a mask and literally transformed themselves. They embodied this big, exuberant character—a man…

In One Picture: Reina Torres’s “In the Dark” (Contest–Two Winners!)

“In the Dark” by Reina Torres – During a blackout, an undercover NSA agent falls hard and fast for the military guy living across the hall with secrets of his own. When the call came out for stories about Secret Identities, I had a few ideas and started them, and they petered out, leaving me worried that I just didn’t have a story for the anthology in me. I can also be dogged when it comes to things, and that’s when…

UPDATE: The winner is…flchen! *~*~* “Perfect Stranger” by N. J. Walters – An undercover DEA agent must keep his identity secret from the woman he’s falling for, a woman he’s also investigating. When I started thinking about writing this story, the first image I had was of a man who resembled a modern-day Viking standing outside the diner where he’s working as a short-order cook as part of a DEA undercover operation. He’s investigating everyone who works at the diner, including the waitress…

UPDATE: The winner is…Jennifer Beyer! *~*~* “What That Alien D Do” by Ava Cuvay – A cosplayer at a popular Sci-Fi convention stalks her favorite MyFans content creator only to discover his alien “prosthetic enhancements” are real. As a Sci-Fi Romance Author, I’ve seen this meme a few times over the years, and it always makes me giggle. Current trends among Sci-Fi and Monster romance stories offer readers an ever-increasing variety where the male character’s genitals are concerned. Size, quantity, knots, rings, prehensile, tentacles,…

I woke up to see this today: It’s the ranking for the latest anthology, Secret Identities: A Boys Behaving Badly Anthology! I could not be more thrilled for the authors inside this collection! I wish I was one of them, but I had to reject the two stories I worked on because they just didn’t…

SECRET IDENTITIES: A BOYS BEHAVING BADLY ANTHOLOGY is here!

SECRET IDENTITIES: A BOYS BEHAVING BADLY ANTHOLOGY is here!

I have a special love for these collections! I started writing novels but quickly got bored of being pigeonholed in certain genres. When I saw a call for submissions for a short story, I thought, what better way to experiment and have a little fun? Soon, I was writing shorties and getting them published in various places. Then I submitted to Cleis Press with ideas for anthologies of my own, and I was on my way. I’ve tried to do…

Getting to Know Gabbi Grey (Contest)

UPDATE: The winner is…Cindy! *~*~* Although I wrote my first romance in the eighth grade, I didn’t take up a pen seriously until ten years later.  In my senior year in university, I enrolled in a creative writing class.  I was in my literature phase and wanted to write a series of short stories for a collection.  Classic Canadian dramatic and dreary short stories.  My professor said, “No. You must write a novel.” I was like…huh? Interestingly, my friend had…

Getting to Know A.J. Harris (Contest)

UPDATE: The winners are…Debra and Terra Oenning! *~*~* Interrogating A.J. Harris I am an unalloyed geek. Two of my favorite shows are Babylon 5 and The Prisoner. They’re known for a lot of things, including asking very simple, but very consequential questions. An interrogation, if you will. And since an interrogation features prominently in my short story for Secret Identity… Who Are You? I’m a writer. I’ve published short stories in about a dozen anthologies. Some are under my given…
