Avast, ye hearties, and welcome aboard

Not sure what the theme of this blog will be. Depends on the Sister and her daring dragoon designs for a logo/masthead type thing. Something about pirates just appeals to me. I know they're evil, I know they raped and pillaged, but they're pirates, and they kick ninja ass every time.

So, yes. *coughs* I'm K L Richardsson. I write. No, really, I do. I am a writer (apparently there's a distinction). My first novel, Heart Sense, is due out this summer/fall/September from Prizm Books. It's the first novel I've completed that was actually good enough to submit anywhere. No, there's no failed NaNoWriMos in the closet, really, I swear. *kicks closet door shut*

I'm a YA writer, focusing on GLBT teens. Why? Because they've got a story to tell, too. A 'happily ever after story' that just happens to be about a boy who likes boys. And because Katjin, the protagonist of Heart Sense, told me that he really liked the fellas better than the girls. Girls confuse him. I don't blame him. They confuse me too.

So, yes. I like books. I like to read them and write them. I like genre fiction, long walks on the beach, and my lightsaber. It's blue. I think it's Obi-Wan's. Unless someone can correct me on that. But yes. Welcome to the show! We'll find some dancing monkeys for you eventually...
