I haven’t managed to write a word since last Thursday, and this is starting to get ridiculous. On the other hand, I’m pleased to say that Away with the Faeries is definitely alive. I can feel it brewing. It keeps suggesting things for me to research – the Hindu equivalent of elves, for example. If…
As if to make up for the news about the frozen shoulder, I have something to squee about this week. I’ve just signed a contract with Samhain to publish Shining in the Sun! (Not the real cover, just my usual temporary mockup 🙂 ) Blurb Handsome and wealthy Alec Goodchilde has everything a man could…
I can’t believe I didn’t post this when it first came out. I thought I had, but when I checked back recently it turned out that I hadn’t. What an oversight! I don’t know what it is about Beecroft’s writing that ravishes me so. Maybe it’s that her prose is like Keats’ poetry to me:…
Or at least, I’ve done no writing today, and tomorrow I’m off to the Reenactor’s Market all day. Oh well, Away with the Faeries is now 22,224 words long, though only on Chapter 7. It’ll benefit from me having a couple of days to mull it over. It should be an exciting weekend, what with…

Amusingly enough there’s a little aside in the article that says “and then we redesigned the flight…
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them.
In a spirit of trying to broaden my mind and my experience of the Romance genre (I grew up reading SF/Fantasy, and had never read a romance before writing Captain’s Surrender), I decided to try some of the famous authors I’ve been hearing about. Georgette Heyer was not exactly a disappointment because – aware of…
