I DO TWO! After the huge success of I DO, an anthology in support of Marriage Equality, we’re delighted to announce that there’ll be a second volume, I DO TWO, with a planned publication date of 14th February 2010. The project has an editorial team – Alex Beecroft, Charlie Cochrane, Sophia Deri-Bowen, Lee Rowan –…
OK, so with both children ill at home I won’t be doing editing today. However, I have started up that cover art comm I mentioned yesterday, imaginatively called Cover_artists You can find it here ~*~*~*~ There seem to be lots of comms out there to talk about writing, but I couldn’t find any in which…
This morning I got an email from someone on Facebook inviting me to join a cover-art group. I thought this was a fantastic idea – we could swap techniques and ideas, share brushes and textures and maybe even club together to occasionally employ a photographer for a cover shoot. Unfortunately, when I clicked on the…
So, the girls are back in school, Andrew is back at work, and so am I. I’ve started serious edits on Boys of Summer. Unfortunately this means actually writing the sex scenes that I faded to black on during the first draft. And that involves thinking way more deeply about the emotional states of both…
When I posted the picture of Captain’s Surrender’s new cover, a couple of people said “Oh no, I really like that, but I’ve got the old version!” So I thought that it might be nice to make a dust-cover for the old version, using the new cover art.

Eeeeeee! When I decided to stick with Samhain as the publisher for CS, it was partially because I really liked their covers, and I was hoping for something a bit more tasteful than the one it had previously.

I had a lovely, though strenuous, fortnight’s holiday over the past two weeks, but now I’m home. We went to Cornwall for the first week and I reminded myself of all the settings in Boys of Summer, and adopted a baby lobster. I also went bodyboarding in the rain, when the surf felt verging on…
And as a result I have children at home for the summer holidays and no time for writing. I had meant to fill this time with research on the early Anglo-Norman period in Britain, for my planned Herewardish m/m historical novel, Dragon of the Fen. But I find myself researching the history of Morris Dancing…

We’ll have interviews, chats, excerpts, and prizes! If you don’t want to join another egroup, the interviews are also mirrored on the Macaronis blog here…
One week into our story, I thought I would summarize what had happened so far, and extend another invitation to come and join the fun. So… the story so far: It was a dark and stormy night, and the mysterious Phillip Hunt was signalling from a bedroom window to a ship out in the harbour…
