I just heard from Mark at Cheyenne Publishing that Hidden Conflict has gone to the printers. This means that it should be available to buy at places like Amazon and the B&N website by the 1st of November. The ‘official’ launch date is still 11/11/2009, but I’m looking forward to getting my own copy earlier…
Curse your sudden and inevitable stinking cold! Giving up trying to do anything. This calls for “Lessons in Power”, duvet and chocolate biscuits.
All those people who said the elves story was more appropriate for NaNo were right. After starting to try and outline Dragon of the Fen it became clear to me that I need to do way more research. I need timelines and maps and to look up what is known about people on the Norman…
Happy Birthday! Along with Tolkien, you are one of the only two people to speak a language for which I require no dictionary and no translation: a language that seems to me to pass straight beyond words and go straight through to truth. If I could live in a book, it would be a toss-up…
G.K Chesterton knew a thing or two about the great opening line. How about this, from “The Napoleon of Notting Hill.” The human race, to which so many of my readers belong, has been playing at children’s games from the beginning, and will probably do it till the end, which is a nuisance for the…
The Prop Hate gang are trying to repeal Main’s marriage rights laws with a very similar campaign. Same old, same old… fear and hate.

Two lots of coolness, in fact 🙂 First of all, I’ve just come back from the bi-monthly RNA lunch where 12 romantic novelists living around Cambridge get together in a not very local to me pub, to eat and talk about the romance publishing world. I’ve been suffering with very sore shoulders for about three…
Hee! I have tickets to see the Morris movie (aka “Morris, a life with bells on”) tomorrow! Andrew’s side, Coton Morris Men, have been asked to dance outside the cinema before the film is shown, and I’m a tiny bit piqued that Elriot wasn’t asked to come and dance too. However, we will be there…
