As a follow on to my post about the terrible anti-gay bill in Uganda, I found a petition against it. It’s particularly important for the Christian leaders to condemn the bill because the bill is apparently being pushed through by pressure from USA fundamentalist groups. Thank you for signing the “Christian leaders must condemn Ugandan…
Another review, another disgruntled author. Recently, since I’ve been reviewing relatively regularly on the SiN site, I seem to have been making one enemy after another. This time, after I drafted and redrafted my review in order to say what I had to say in the most gentle way possible, I’ve been accused of being…
Very occasionally I look through my folders on the computer and open old files to try and find out what they are. I was doing that this morning and came across a file called “Explorer5.doc” which I could not remember at all. Now I’m kicking myself. I have this lovely opening, and no idea what…
I really don’t think exercise is good for me. Practiced as usual on Friday night, then on Saturday Andrew and I danced out from 11.30 to 4.30 at the Mill Road Winter Fair There were three morris sides there: Coton Morris Men (experts in the least stealthy of martial arts), Cambridge Morris Men and the…

I just got an unexpected email from Gerry Burnie, whose novel “Two Irish Lads” I can thoroughly recommend as a lovely, gentle historical m/m set in the early days of Canada. He’d just read False Colors and liked it so much he reviewed it on his site “It is a superb piece of writing, a…
Elisa Rolle’s Rainbow Awards Cover Art contest is on its penultimate lap, and there are only twenty covers left to vote for. Of those twenty, False Colors is one and Frost Fair is another. I’m torn between hoping for False Colors to get through, because it’s my book, or hoping for Frost Fair to get…
I can’t wait to find out what the first post is on the SiN advent calendar so many brilliant authors of m/m historical romance have contributed to it. I reckon that if I comment every day I stand a good chance of winning something 🙂 In other news, this frozen shoulder is really starting to…
Soon it will be the first of December, and the Speak Its Name review site is filling the whole month with an Advent Calendar of blogging: “The Blog is Two Years Old and to celebrate–and to thank all you lovely readers for your loyalty–we have, for your delectation, lined up a fabulous feast of amazing…
