A while back I entered some of my cover art in the EPIC cover art competition. Then I promptly forgot that I had done so. So it was a nice surprise to get a Google Alert on Thursday that informed me that my cover for Ransom had won “Best in Category” for Historicals and Westerns…
Due to yet another flare up of the “ew, girls writing gay fiction, that’s just wrong” debate over Christmas, I ended the year wondering if I wanted to carry on writing m/m romance at all (and thinking that I probably didn’t.) So it’s taken me until now to make resolutions (as they say in PotC,…
A great review from Dear Author Not, perhaps, my highest scoring review yet, but one that makes me want to write meta about my own story. She’s spot on that in this one I was perhaps more interested in the murder mystery/ghost story than I was in the romance. Also that it was a deliberate…
It snowed again today, and I have a heavy cold, so I stayed in all day and made a book trailer for The Wages of Sin. After filming some video for it yesterday, I couldn’t get the movie making software to accept the file type of the video. I couldn’t find a way to convert…
Argh! Just die already, nobody cares! (Well, I don’t, you emo megalomaniac traitor. Push off, stop being such a whinger – it’s not as if you haven’t done this 10 times already without any of the drama. Die horribly and come back as someone better.)

It’s been a good week for entertainment this week. I just finished reading “Lover’s Knot” by Donald Hardy, one of the new m/m romances from Running Press. It was wonderful! It’s set in a small Cornish village, and there’s a gripping plot that involves ghosts and revenge and the return of a demon lover from…
I managed to miss Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End so I still haven’t seen that film. I’m not heartbroken to have missed it, but it might have been nice to watch it just for the sake of completeness. Another time, maybe. Dr. Who was very RTD-like still – far too much rushing about…
Well, we had a very nice Christmas this year. Dad came down from up North (near Manchester) and stayed from the 23rd. He’s on his way home now. Then on the 25th my sister and brother in law visited for Christmas day, so we ended up cooking for 7 – five adults and two children. …
