So today is the last day for the Men of May Bloghop and also your last chance to enter for a chance to win my m/m novella, A Single Man’s Valentine. All you have to do is comment on this post or the previous one and tomorrow I will pick one random winner. Also don’t forget to click the link below to hop around to some of the other blogs participating in the hop.
So what—or rather who—shall we talk about today?
I’d like to tell you about a very special man in my life. He’s my mother’s best friend from high school. He’s funny and kind and always there when we need him. He’s a great guy that everyone likes. Once you meet him, you can’t help liking him. He’s a constant presence in a world that can be chaotic and at times unstable. He’s fun to be around and is awesome at grilling. He can put a smile on my face no matter what mood I’m in. His daughters are lucky to have him for a dad.
Even though this post is short and sweet, it’s all truth. The only problem with Mike, is that there are only so many ways you can say someone is a great person that you’re honored to have as a friend. I may not tell him enough, but he’s the best guy I know and I love him very much.

Seems I’ve been away for a while. But I’m back for the Men of May Blog Hop!
This blog hop is all about the men in our lives; whether they be men in our personal lives, famous men we adore, the characters in our books, etc. So who am I choosing to write about? To be honest, this was a hard choice for me as there aren’t a lot of men in my life. I was raised around mostly women but have had a few nice father figures in my life. I’m also very much single at the moment. So who should I write about?
To tell you the truth, as I’m sitting here writing this, I’m still not entirely sure.
But maybe the best man for me to write about is my newest character in my newest work-in-progress. His name is Taylor Compton; strong, dark and handsome, but entirely soft and cuddly. He sings like a bird, his range exquisite, glory notes and all; he’ll give you chills. He was in one of those reality show singing competitions and made some amazing friends; his best friend being Temperance Stuart.
Taylor is a man that can’t stand to see his friends—who always manage to become family—hurt in any way, shape or form. So when Temperance comes back for the tour and has changed so drastically from a traumatizing experience, there’s nothing he wants more than to help her get back to who she used to be. He hates seeing her terrified of the world when she used to be bubbly and out-going, always smiling and having a good time.
Taylor is the kind of man I think most straight women—and gay men—would love to have as their very own. I know I would. He’s warm, smart, funny, playful… he’s the best of everything. But when you take a closer look, he’s got insecurities just like everyone else. He hates his freckles, thinks his stomach could be flatter and even hates being six-foot-four at times. Although he has these insecurities, for the most part he loves the person he is and he wants everyone to feel the same about themselves. He’s kind-hearted and fiercely protective of those he cares about. Don’t you wish you could have him too?
Temperance, his best friend, is the one girl that can turn his world upside down. He loves her, wants her, believes she is his soul mate. But like I said, his feelings for her have turned his world on it’s head and he can’t tell up from down most of the time and it doesn’t bother him in the least. He wants what I suspect most people want – love, a family, someone to come home to after a long hard day at work. He wants someone to share his life with and have that life and that love be successful.
All in all, Taylor is all kinds of shades of light and dark, love and hate. Maybe he’s bit too perfect for reality. But he’s a perfect fit for the hero of my story. I hope you all have a man in your life that you can call your hero whether he’s a lover, friend, brother, father or even a stranger off the street that comes to your rescue.
Now, this wouldn’t be a proper bloghop without a giveaway! All you have to do is leave a comment and one random winner will be selected to receive my first published m/m short story, A Single Man’s Valentine. So comment away! Also, go check out the other authors’ posts for the bloghop at the link below.

Hey guys! Today is a very special day. Not only is it the birthday of two of my friends, it’s also the day my very first publication was released! That’s right! My publisher released my eBook three days early! I woke up this morning and that was the first news I heard. I was so very excited to hear it. I honestly can’t explain how amazing this feels. I’m on First Time Author Cloud 9!
Here are the links to where you can buy your own copy of A Single Man’s Valentine by me, P.K. Morris
I want to thank everyone who has made this possible; everyone who supported me in my writing. Today is the day I start living the dream… and apparently tear up over it. Haha. Not only am I excited, but I’ve never been more proud of myself in my entire life. This is literally a dream come true and I don’t know how to express how grateful I am for this opportunity.
Until Next Time…

Hey everyone!
Life has been hectic as my release date draws nearer. I’ve been doing interview after interview and I’ve even got a guest post coming up. So I thought I’d give you all a little schedule of where I’ll be. A couple of the spots have already passed, but that’s okay, you can still check them out.
INTERVIEW SCHEDULE
Well, I just realized that I can only post these 3 as they are the only ones I have links to so far. Please keep coming back as I’ll keep updating this list.
On to the next thing! A very exciting thing happened to me yesterday, I got my first press release! Things are starting to feel more real the closer I get to release day. It’s so cool to have a press release! Please check it out here.
That’s it for now. Until next time…

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you all know that as of February 3rd, 2012 I will have my first published short story under my
belt. That’s right, February 3rd is the release date of Tempting Cupid, the Valentine’s Day anthology that my short story, A Single Man’s Valentine, is going to be in. I’ve even got a picture of the anthology cover to share!
This anthology is filled with great authors and I’m so proud to be a part of it. If you’d like to order it once February 3rd comes around, you can do so here. I can’t wait for you all to read my story and tell me what you think! If you need a refresher on my story, here’s the cover and a little blurb.
Kris Goodwin wants to spend his first Valentine’s Day since his divorce alone in his apartment with a case of beer. But his best friend Jake has other ideas and shows up unannounced. Jake has brought supplies for what he calls the perfect single man’s Valentine’s Day; take-out, flowers, romantic comedies and a box of chocolates.
As the evening progresses, Jake admits the harmless crush he’s had on Kris isn’t quite as harmless as he’s made it out to be. He’s actually in love with Kris. Then Kris tells Jake the real reason behind his divorce.
[edit] You can now order A Single Man’s Valentine at the following places:
Also, on January 22nd, 2012 I will be over at my publisher’s blog, Rebel Reasoning, to talk about my three biggest inspirations. You may be surprised at who they are.
Until next time…

Wow, I can’t believe that Christmas is in less than two weeks! Thirteen days to be exact. So where have I been? Well, for the most part I’ve been writing. The month of November was spent writing for NaNoWriMo and now I’m working on something I hope to get published.
NaNoWriMo was… interesting this year. At first it was going well, but then somewhere along the lines the story went haywire and turned into utter crap. So much so that at 15,000 words I just wanted to quit. But then I thought, hey I can do this, and decided to challenge myself. I wanted to see if I could write the 50k words no matter how much I liked—or disliked—the story. So at 45k I thought I was going to die as I could not think of a single thing else to write. I was devastated to say the least. I told myself I was done and there was nothing I could do and I’d lost NaNoWriMo on my third try after I had won both of my first two years. I set the story aside and the following day—Thanksgiving—I knocked it out of the park and came in at something like 50,025 words and the story was finished. It was a sort of abrupt ending, but it worked. When all is said and done, I feel doubly accomplished with this year’s NaNo.
A few days ago I finally got the edits for my first publication! I was so excited and so nervous at the same time. I was scared of the red marks I would see. I honestly thought there were going to be a ton. But in the end, there wasn’t enough to make me cringe and think I completely suck. There was just enough to let me know that there’s still things I can improve upon and learn with writing. And really, who in the world writes so perfectly that there’s nothing for them to improve on? Exactly, no one. So I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished with that short story. I’m also proud that I was able to get the edits done and back to my editor the following day.
But now it’s December and we’re all getting ready for the holidays, whichever one you may celebrate. I happen to celebrate Christmas as I was raised and baptized as a Methodist and my grandmother is a retired Methodist minister. This is the time of year that stresses most people out. For me, it’s so stressful that I just want to hide until after New Year’s. I don’t though, no matter how much I want to. But this year is a little different, this year I have my writing to look forward to—and my new dog. He’s very good at distracting me. You’re probably wondering why writing is making this year different as I’m sure you’ve guessed that I’ve been writing for years now. (Most of my life, actually) This year is different because I have my publication to look forward to in the next couple of months. Also, writing has taken on a new meaning for me now that I’m involved in the eBook world of publication. It’s given me a new kind of confidence, a kind of reassurance that tells me I can do this. I can make my dreams come true. It’s something I hadn’t thought was possible before, but now it’s happening and I feel like everything is right with the world.
On that note, I shall leave you.
Happy Holidays!
xo, P.K.
