Because I can never resist perfumes that sound like poems and make you smell like weird things. I joined a decant circle run by snowwhitemoon fairly recently and read through the descriptions of all the perfumes on offer in BPAL’s “Lupercalia” selection 2010. Due to being skint, I could only afford four imps this time,…
The Old Market Tavern in Bristol (www.omtbristol.co.uk) is hosting a promotion evening for I Do Two on Wednesday April 14th. The Landlord, Richard Evans, has come on board in a big way – he’s offered to lay on a free buffet – and will promote it on his website and through journalist contacts in the…
This is almost certainly the round that False Colors gets trashed. I’ve been watching the first two rounds, and FC tends to get around 300 votes, while Zero at the Bone gets around 600. I strongly suspect that me begging for votes is not going to make any difference. So I won’t beg, I’ll just…
While chatting with tiggothy yesterday about men’s voices, and why I had made John in False Colors a counter tenor, I suddenly remembered this vid, which had been recommended to me by someone on my FL. I can’t quite remember who. Was it charliecochrane? Maybe. Anyway, I thought that everyone might like to see it,…
Well, my e-reader arrived! Naturally I would have preferred an iPAD, but I can’t justify spending that much on any kind of electronic device. I was going to buy a Sony e-reader, but when I puttered about Amazon looking for one, I came across a special offer for the Cybook 3 Gen, which cost less…

It’s selection time in the Smart Bitches’ annual DABWAHA contest which is a kind of knock down, drag out, contest between an initial selection of 64 books. They go up against each other in several rounds of voting until there’s only one left. This year, False Colors is in the starting blocks in the LGBT…
Every so often I get frustrated at all the things I can’t do as someone who isn’t able to draw and must content themselves with photoshopping pictures. (Where “photoshopping” in my case = “manipulating using the Gimp”) There are so few available pictures of people in historical clothes out there, that I’m really going to…
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…
When I first had the idea for Under the Hill, back when it was Away with the Faeries, it was going to be a 30K novella. It was going to be a kind of lighthearted paranormal romance with some elves and ghosts and morris dancing. It was going to feature a bloke who worked in…
