ReplyDeleteHave a great day!
Congrats on the new release and for letting us celebrate with you!
ReplyDeleteWhat works do you have coming out next? And how many books do you usually publish in a year?
Hi everyone :) Thanks for stopping by!
ReplyDeleteJoder ~ The past few years I've had a TON of new releases (anywhere between 2-4 ebooks a month). However, that may slow down a bit as we head into 2010 because I want to focus more on novel-length stories than shorter works.
I started out publishing 2 books a year and am going to stick with at LEAST that (and this is 2 paperback books a year, not ebooks).
Upcoming, I have another novella in my superhero series, V, coming out later this month (entitled THE V IN VIGILANT). Next month I'll re-release 2 short stories as ebooks (MONEY'S WORTH and ONE OF US), as well as a longer contemporary novel entitled ROCKSTAR.
In December, I have a story appearing in an anthology (FOUR SEASONS: WINTER 2009) and two ebook re-releases with eXcessica (THIS CHRISTMAS and WORLD ENOUGH AND TIME).
So there's a lot on the horizon, both new and old, that should appeal to readers of gay erotic romance!
Congratulations on your latest print release JM!!! I love your work and am currently reading Operation Starseed and so far I'm loving it!!! I always enjoy reading your books...there is so much depth in each of the protagonists that you can't help but fall in love with them right away.
ReplyDeleteI wish you the best of luck with all your future projects. I eagerly await reading more of your delicious works.
Happy Reading!!!

Congrats on your paperback collection. I haven't read any of your books, but after reading all the comments here, I will be going to the bookstore with your name at the top of my list.I am anxious to read them.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your new collection, J.M.!
ReplyDeleteHi JM! Congrats on your release! And I love the cover...
ReplyDeleteI've read a few of the stories..am really looking forward to the rest! :)
You seem to mostly write (and do very well at)shorts and novellas. What are your thoughts on writing at novel length?
Congratulations on the release of So in Love!!! Glad to hear the news :)
ReplyDeleteI am also so looking forward to November (Playing the Field in paperback) :)
Have a great day JM.
Devon,
ReplyDeleteI love writing novels, but they take a lot of time. When I was self-publishing, I concentrated on mostly novels, but when I got stuck in one of them, I switched to short stories. I'm currently editing a novel that will come out next month and working on another which I hope to release sometime next year, and I'm looking forward to working on longer stories after that :)
Hi Yuki,
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that one! Yes, the first four ebooks of my series "Playing the Field" will be in paperback next month, too!
Congratulations!! SO IN LOVE looks fabulous - from the cover on. I have my fingers crossed for this. Cheers!! Marybelle

I hope I'm not too late with a question...
ReplyDeleteWhat is your opinion on book trailers? Do you think they help in book sales?
Thanks,
Tracey D
Hi Tracey,
ReplyDeleteBook trailers ... well, I've made two and I don't really think they did much to boost sales. They were really fun to make, though they took a lot of time. For the past few years I've had a very hectic writing schedule, with new releases already on the publishers' "coming soon" pages as I write against the deadline to submit the stories.
But that pace has slowed down a bit now (yay!) so maybe I'll get a chance to do another trailer sometime soon!
Congrats, JM! And thanks for the free download. Great reading! :o) Tamsyn
ReplyDeleteCongratz on the print release!!!
ReplyDeleteMy question is do you ever think about writing m/f fiction instead of m/m? If so what kind of story would it be, and if not, why not?
I actually have another question. Do you all of the marketing for your books yourself?
ReplyDeleteHi Darshini,
ReplyDeleteI never think of writing m/f fiction because to be honest, that sort of relationship doesn't interest me. I find gay characters to be more ... I don't know, daring? To be gay, even in today's society, can be scary, and to admit to loving someone of the same gender can be downright dangerous. That element makes the relationship worth something, in my eyes. I'd write f/f or lesbian stories before writing a heterosexual one. I just don't get the same sense of depth or meaning in m/f as I do in same-sex relationships (sorry!).
As for marketing, I do 99.9% of it, yes. I pay Author Island to help spread the word, but I'm the one who works with bookstore owners and websites to promote my titles, not anyone else. I've learned that only a fraction of being published revolves around actually writing the story. The rest is marketing it to people who will read it.
Congrads!! This is exciting! What are you going to do to celebrate this??
