Computer troubles, submissions and other stuff

My computer exploded this month, so I've been shuffled to the kids' computer. I could learn to like Linux. the only reason I hung on to windows was for Windows Movie Maker and vidding. Konquerer as a web-browser wouldn't let me post here. I ended up using Firefox.

Nice to be back


So, in writing news,
"For Love of Etarin" has been Joyfully Recommended
Nikolai has been reviewing well.

"A Rose for Nicky" has been picked up for Toybox: Sounds, pending edits.

"Color of Magic/Color of Money" has gone out for the Emerald birthstone.
"Seconds" has gone out for Toybox: Collars
"Crossroads" was rejected for Love Bites, but has been picked up as a stand-alone.

And Naomi and I are writing *gasp* het.
"Yellowstone River Blues" is at about 8000 words out of 18000.

When it's finished, we're on to Lord Withycombe and the Curse of the Pharaoh's Manicurists.

Two nice reviews

Rainbow Reviews covered both "For love of Etarin" and Nikolai.

Etarin is here. S. McDermott says:

Naomi Brooks and Angelia Sparrow weave a sci-fi tale that is filled with interest and romance. I found this to be a very fast and enjoyable read.

Nikolai is here. L. Adlem says:

The plot moves at a fast clip, the characters are drawn in clear lines.
Well written, I had difficulty putting it down and I was sorry when it finished.
It is a fascinating, riveting and very sexy story.

Kestrel is available!

Kestrel on the Horizon is now available in complete novel form!

Blurb: Nathanial Collins, captain of the Golden Horizon, seems to have everything a man could want, freedom to ride the seas, articles from His Majesty on hand, a new slave, and a great ship.


He has one thorn in his side, though, pirate captain Thomas Harrison of the Kestrel. Harrison is Collins' former captain and they parted on less than amicable terms.


Will Collins be able to make a life for himself and his new love? Or will the Kestrel be forever on the horizon?

I am interviewed

Circle Dark did an interview with me at their My Space.

I come off a little quirky but not totally insane.

Mid South Con

I just had a print copy of Nikolai made to give away in the contest. It is amazing-looking.

Sexiest. Cover. Ever.

Glad Hands is currently in edits. But is that not the sexiest thing EVER?

The big truck, the hot men. Chuck making his move on Seven. Seven willing, but slightly resistant. Even the tat, kinda stretched as faded, as it would be because it was applied to Chuck when he was four.

Naomi and I are tickled pink
