LZ's Latest News & Updates

If you had twenty minutes with Brenna, Cassidy, or anyone from "Turning Point" and the upcoming "Turn for Home", what questions would you ask them?

I'll take your top 10-20 questions, "interview" the character(s), and write out their answers, and post them to the "ad" site, my website, and here on the mailing list. Don't worry if more than one person asks the same question. That just means it's a very popular question, and I'll definitely be sure to answer it. Make sure you indicate which character should be asked the question if it's not obvious. I'll do separate interviews for each character requested.

I'll format the articles like those celebrity interviews in things like "Time" magazine ("20 Questions for..."), or the Parade's Sunday supplement "In Step With..." and include your handle and city/state/country below the question just like in those articles, so please sign your questions with that information.

I'll give this one week. You have until September 6, 2008 to post your questions in the Comments to this blog. I'll write the response "article" and have it up by September 13 here on my website and on my mailing list.


"Real life is sometimes messy, and sometimes things take longer than the length of a TV episode to resolve." - author Bett Norris, in a 5-star review about "Turning Point"

As I blogged earlier, I'd had so many requests for autographed copies that I actually ran out of copies before I could complete all the orders, so with the last few on hold, I had my publisher rush me another shipment...

So... GOOD NEWS!!!

I have more copies of "Turning Point" for those who wish to be sent autographed copies (10% goes to support my local GLBT center). It's US$15 per copy and $4.80 for the USPS Flat Rate Priority Envelope shipping, for a total of $19.80.

You can use Paypal today! Click here!

One final note. I will be next in public with my books at the Broward County Library in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, at the 2nd Annual Over the Rainbow Bookfest & Expo on September 28, 2008. Hope to see you there!

There's good news, and there's bad news...

Good news! I sold out of all my personal stock of Turning Point while in Phoenix.

Bad news! I need to get more before I can fill the orders coming through online Paypal.

It'll be a few weeks before I have more copies. You are welcome to still place an order. Just be aware that I will take no action on your payment until I have the book(s) in hand autographed to send to you. If you're okay with that, place your order today. If you need to wait, I'll announce here in the blog when the next supply is available.

Sorry to anyone for the inconvenience. I only just got back online myself from the trip.
