Just one more quick note (I promise not to spam you all!) to say that the voting ballot for the Paranormal Romance Awards is now live! Come vote for my two nominated books and support me and LGBTQ romance!
Seaworthy (Character Bleed book 1) is nominated in the general LGBT Romance category (about halfway down) and "Sundown, Holiday, Beacon" (my m/m/m superhero romance!) is nominated in LBGT Novellas & Shorts (near the bottom of the ballot)! Here’s the link to the ballot:

Thank you for all the love and support - I love both these stories and their characters so much, and I’m thrilled to be on the ballot this year!
Just a little note to say...
Seaworthy (book one of the Character Bleed the trilogy!) in general LGBT Romance (about halfway down as you scroll), and “Sundown, Holiday, Beacon” (my M/M/M superheroes in love story!) in LGBT Novellas & Shorts (last category, near the bottom!)!
Voting goes live Feb 6! *excited flails*
(I don’t actually know how the voting works; I assume one has to be a member…but I don’t in fact know for sure! So…if you would like to vote for these things I write…or just share and support!…I will love and adore you! and possibly write some form of tiny bonus story? We shall see…
I’m so excited and so honored – look at that fabulous list of nominees! So very cool to be included and to share this with you!
January felt long, didn’t it?
I hope you’re staying safe and healthy and that this new year is better than the last. I’ve been staying home and writing, working on making our landscaping more drought resistant, and attempting DIY home renovation projects with varying degrees of success.
I turned in a new draft of On Home to my editor in early January and am waiting for feedback. I am really hoping there are only minor notes on this one. I’m still hoping for a summer release!
The Book of Great and Tiny Things won the Breaking the Bechdel syndicate’s January pick so I got a nifty badge on the book page and some more orders. Please check it out and give it a follow if you haven’t already! There is also an option to “nominate” it, which tells Inkshares you think it should be published, no pre-order necessary.
I’ve been reading a ton this year and am on my ninth book already. Most of them have been by Appalachian women, which has been inspiring in many ways. I’ll be reviewing some for Southern Literary Review, including Call It Horses by Jesse Van Eerden, which is beautiful. What are you reading? How else are you keeping busy and staying relatively sane? I am sending love to all of you, and, as always, gratitude.

Just a quick update for all of you who pre-ordered my novel, Immortal Red. I will be leaving INKSHARES for a late-spring release Immortal Red through a traditional publishing house. INKSHARES has assured me that they will be issuing refunds to all who pre-ordered the novel. Please visit me at khummelfiction.com, wwwfacebook.com/keith.hummel.9655 and, on Twitter @khummelfiction for continuing updates on publishing and release dates.
My heartfelt thanks to all who have supported this story.
