Just making it in time for Valentine’s day yesterday, I Do Two is now available in pdf here! Other formats are in the pipeline and should be coming along very soon, and it has gone to the printers. So it should be available in print in about a fortnight. All profits from this anthology will…
If you’ve got a gmail account and a Google profile, you may not even be aware yet that Google’s new Buzz social networking service makes all your email contacts public. As far as I understand it, that means that anyone gets to check up on who you email, and who you have ever emailed to…
As stolen from eroticjames The rules: * Post ten of any pictures currently on your hard drive that you think are self-expressive. * No captions. It must be like we’re speaking with images and we have to interpret your visual language just like we have to interpret your words. * They must ALREADY be on…
Am reading Luck in the Shadows by Lynn Flewelling – book one of the Nightrunner series – at the moment. (Well, I started it today.) So far I’m not overly impressed. It’s very generic AD&D sort of fantasy with taverns and bards and guilds and elves who so far don’t appear to be very elvish,…
Well, the good news is that through the wonders of Vitamin D, Potassium, Iron and Borage oil, I am now no more depressed than the average person who can’t sleep because their shoulders are too sore. The bad news is that I have got such a stinking cold that I can’t think straight. Also toothache….
Woohoo! The Historical Novel Society reviewed Hidden Conflict.

You hardly ever see the form, for obvious reasons: by the time you’ve got your readers up to speed on…
Unhappy Hipsters. This one is particularly speaking to me today: http://unhappyhipsters.com/post/356249598/it-was-unclear-how-her-life-had-become-so-riddled
I’ve been seeing lots of posts about Imbolc/Candlemass saying that it’s celebrating the turn of the year into spring. In this as in most things, I’m slower than everyone else. For me, February is the dark hour before the dawn, the moment when even the memory of light seems furthest away. February is 3am, the…
Coolness! I got my edits today for Shining in the Sun, which has brought it home to me that it’s coming out on the 8th of June, and that’s not really all that far away! The consensus seems to be that I use far too many semicolons and exclamation marks; how can she say that!…
Ailith was home ill yesterday, and Rose was home ill today. You can pretty much bet that whatever it was, I’ll get it tomorrow. Which is frustrating as I now want to write, and I’m at that stage with Under the Hill where I’m well stuck in, but still have a long, long way to…
