MLR Press-- all M/M erotic romance and fiction

Early last month I was informed I would be coming back into sudden possession of several of my book contracts early and very unexpectedly. I had retained a literary lawyer (like I should have 3 years ago when I started writing) to terminate a few expired contracts so the process was done cleanly and legally. As a result, as soon as I terminated an expired DUG contact I hadn't been receiving royalties on as agreed, the same publisher pulled ALL of my contracts with them early, kindly stating I had 'outgrown their press'. I guess I have.

That left me rapidly seeking a new publisher to have my books A BIT OF ROUGH and OUT THERE IN THE NIGHT re-issued ASAP since they are both on the best selling lists at B&N and Amazon and I didn't want too much of a lag time to develop when they came off the shelves, so to speak.

But no print publisher is going to grab a book and shove it into their current line up ASAP. At least not for me. J.K. Rowling or Stephen King maybe, but not me. I had tried using Lulu.com in November only to have the company misplace my manuscript for 16--count them-- 16 weeks. They are not an option for more books from me.

At a bit of a loss about my work finding an appropriate, immediate outlet, I came to the conclusion the only thing to do was to form my own small publishing press. I don't know where it will all lead yet. With success, I hope. I'm going to work my damnest to find out. It's a little mystery, a little adventure and a little romance, but all M/M. It's another way I'm promoting the genre I love to write and keeping my writing career alive.

MLR PRESS, LLC is now open. It's an invitation only publisher and it's all M/M erotic romance and fiction. This is my way of furthering the genre I love and believe in.
