Guess whose author copies of the print second edition of Captain’s Surrender have arrived? Hee! And in a spectacular coincidence they arrived just three days after I’d ordered ten copies to take to the Ely meet-up. (Leading me to think that Samhain had been super efficient. Probably more efficient than is humanly possible.) However, silly…
it may be a sign that you’re not. I was discussing this with Mirien the other day, both of us observing that we’d known some really poor writers who were convinced they were geniuses, and some really wonderful writers who needed to be encouraged every step of the way, and were always on the verge…
I write like Stephen King I Write Like by Mémoires, Mac journal software. Analyze your writing! Which is a bit of a bummer as I don’t really like Stephen King’s books. (Too modern for me.)
Clearly Ely is the cultural centre of the UK, because not only does it host photoshoots in the tearooms and the m/m meet happening here in September, but this weekend was the Ely folk festival. Despite a lot of improvement in my shoulders, I’m still not up to dancing yet, so I went along as…
Much to my surprise, about a month ago the editor of Out magazine contacted me to say “how do you fancy doing an interview? We’d send someone over to talk to you. And can you find us some other female authors of m/m fiction who could come along too?” After being duly gobsmacked and panicking…
LOL! I got the entire contents of this post into the subject line 🙂 But yes, after a day spent entirely on getting Rose ready for her Prom, and finally waving her off about a half hour ago, it’s just marvellous to come home to such a wonderful review as this: All in all, Beecroft…
How long is this novel going to take? It’s 82,500 words long already and only on chapter 12 of 20. It is the giant life-sucking project of DOOM. How many times must the characters explain to each other what the other characters explained to them? How many times must Sumala and Flynn break out of…
I’ve set up a community on LJ where we can discuss all the things that might be involved in the m/m authors and readers meeting in Ely. Hopefully it can be used to arrange car shares and anything else that needs to be arranged. If you think you’re going to be coming, please join the…
please visit my Live Journal where I am running a poll to decide the best date. The choices are Saturday 7th August 12-4, or Sunday 12th September 12-4. Judging from my last entry, there’s plenty of interest – more than enough to make this worth while. Quite a few people, however, have pointed out that…
On the grounds that I might be paying for the venue and nibbles, I reckoned that I could get away with looking for somewhere near me. So I’ve just come back from Ely library, where I discovered that I can hire a large function room with chairs for 50 people, a large table to sit…
