Announcing PK Morris
Hey everyone!
I’m P.K. Morris and I’d like
to start by thanking Wendy for having me on her blog today. I’m a newbie to the
whole publishing scene. My first publication is A Single Man’s Valentine in the Rebel
Ink Press anthology Tempting Cupid,
which I will talk about later on.
Even though I’m new to the
published author thing, I’ve been writing since… well, since I could write. I
wrote my first “book” at age six and even drew illustrations for it. But I
didn’t really think this could be a career until I hit high school and even then
my self-confidence was too low to think I could do it. The last two years I have
been working on improving my writing to the point that I felt confident enough
to send it to a publishing company. Then last August I did and Rebel Ink Press
decided to sign me on. I never knew I could be so excited or happy about
something before.
I live in a small
city in New Hampshire with my two rescue animals; an American Eskimo Dog named
Bear and a cat named Buddy. I’ll be turning twenty-seven a few days after my
first release—talk about a great birthday gift! While my passion lies with my
writing, I’m also an avid music fan and love going to concerts; live
performances are the best! I also like to knit and read anything from fiction to
biographies to historical non-fiction. My interest in different genres is as
eclectic as the music on my iPod.
A Single Man’s Valentine, which will be
released on February 3rd, 2012, is a short story about two men who
finally confess their feelings for each other. They have been best friends for
quite a few years and one of them was even married… to a woman. All of which
made having feelings for each other a bit more complicated than either would
have liked. But the first Valentine’s Day after Kris’ divorce sparks something
and neither can hold back any longer. Why don’t you read the back cover blurb
and an excerpt from the story to see what I mean.
A Single Man’s Valentine
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.
Kris smiled gently. “I love
you, too, Jake.”
The older man shook his
head. “No, Kris. I mean, I love you.
It was never just a harmless crush. Why do you think that last guy and I split
up?”
“You… you do?” Jake was
shocked.
Kris shrugged and averted
his eyes. “You showed up and you kept saying how this was the perfect single guy’s Valentine’s Day. I’ve never
known how to make the first move, I always waited for you to do it. I guess it
just kind of annoyed me that you showed up on Valentine’s day as just my
friend.” He shrugged and looked down his hands.
If you liked what you read,
you can pick up a copy of the Tempting
Cupid anthology, which A Single Man’s
Valentine is a part of, at Amazon Kindle, All Romance E Books, Barnes &
Noble Kindle and Bookstrand on February 3rd, 2012.
Thank you so much for
reading and many thanks to Wendy for having me.
