(Dianne) Fox Writes

Let’s see…
“Equilibrium” is finished. I’ve done my round of revisions, and it’s on the revision pile for Anah now. I really like this one. We took an idea and stripped it down to its bones, and I think we made it work really well.
We wrote a new Jamie&Riaz short story for the Turn of the [...]

When Toby Archer’s marriage falls apart, he takes up flipping houses to fill some of the void left in his life. The first time that contractor Ven Parrish works for him, Toby notices the fact that Ven is gorgeous, but what really catches Toby’s attention is Ven’s work ethic. Toby isn’t going to pass up [...]

The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Riaz looked in the mirror one more time and carefully twisted the glossy, black curl that was supposed to lie in the middle of his forehead. He looked ridiculous, but that was the point. He was all decked out in satin pantaloons and ‘jeweled’ satin vest, both peacock blue, with a crimson sash around his waist and red sandals. To get to the car, he’d have to put his boots on. One more touch up of the eyeliner and, bracelets jingling, dark bronze skin oiled, he was ready to go.

The Clothes Make the Man… Crazy!

Halloween at the Tangerine Dream was a wild affair. Everyone was in costume, and the costumes were all elaborate affairs, everything from a statuesque Marilyn Monroe to a body-painted tabby cat to Little Red Riding Hood. That last, of course, was Jamie. He was all decked out in a shiny red corset and a skirt that wouldn’t have even come close to covering his ass, if it weren’t for the petticoats underneath.

Life in the Country

Riaz was paying attention to his work. Honest. He looked at the handful of chard he’d just ripped up and stuffed it back in the ground. Whoops. It wasn’t his fault Jamie was being so distracting.

Let’s see…
Renovations I: Framework is due out in print on Saturday. I’m keeping my eyes peeled for the print galley, to take a last look at it. I’m so excited to finally see it all in one volume!
Anah and I are two scenes away from finishing “Equilibrium”, and I’ve been editing and revising as we’ve [...]

The house was empty. No Jasper, no Foley. Through the back door, Samson caught sight of a too-thin figure under the clothesline, hanging laundry. A wet sheet refused to be pinned down and flapped around wildly. Jasper was barely a match for it.
Foley wasn’t anywhere to be seen. Where was he? Why would Foley leave [...]

Just as Sully’d settled himself down on a creeper, Mack’s voice tore through the garage: “Sully! You got a phone call!”
Well, hell. Who’d be calling him here? Sully wrangled himself back up to his feet and headed for the phone. Mack handed it over, looking a little curious.
“Hey.” Sully really didn’t get calls from Denny [...]

When Denny pulled up to the track again, he was jittering something awful, but he really just wanted to get his hands on Sully. Being nervous about anything made him want Sully more. He wanted to burrow into Sully’s big arms and let Sully hold off the world a little. Besides, in Sully’s arms, he [...]

Denny was still asleep, as deep and peaceful a sleep as Sully imagined he could get, hurting so much. He’d slept hard once the drugs were in him. He fussed more in his sleep than he did awake; he hardly made a peep about hurting when he was awake, but his sleep was filled up [...]
