Punches the air

ByAlex Beecroft

Yes! So, my father is in hospital awaiting a heart operation and I’m rushing up there every day to try to help him to understand what’s going on (he has dementia and doesn’t remember these things – which makes being in hospital a terrifying experience). Despite this, I have just finished Heart of Cygnus 5. Yes! 102,080 words of space-opera-y goodness in which the entire galaxy is about to find out that it was a bad idea to try to keep my middle-aged female space captain down.

Is she a late-blooming Mary Sue? Quite possibly. Do I care? I do not. It’s taken me this long to realize that I have a feminine side at all (because it’s a feminine side that wants to PUNCH DRAGONS.) And there are not that many of those kinds of female characters around, so why not?

Basically: Yes! I have finished a book! Now I can start planning the Minoan m/m thing I’ve got to do by March. I’m looking forward to that 🙂 Huzzah!

    Tattoo musings

    ByAlex Beecroft

    I’ve always wanted a tattoo – and when I say ‘always’ I mean “since long before it became acceptable for women to have tattoos.”  It’s that history thing again.  Being English, with a mother from Yorkshire and a father from the Welsh borders, it’s highly unlikely that I don’t have a mix of Saxon, Viking…

    I’ve just had an email asking me if I was any relation to Admiral Beecroft.  This gave me pause for thought, partly because I don’t know of any Admiral Beecroft.  Do you? And partly because I wouldn’t know if he was a relative even if he was.  The Beecroft side of the family is my…

Yay! Great news. Glad you found your feminine side. Punching dragons seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do with it 😉

*G* I would make sure the dragons deserved it first! No punching of innocents, monsters or otherwise 🙂

Thank you!
