Hee! Brief moment of glory ahoy!
I know Amazon ratings don’t mean a lot, but it did give me a thrill this morning to find False Colors in the top 100 of Historical books on Amazon. Actually making a slight impact outside the ‘gay fiction’ lists. LOL! Just for the moment, False Colors by me is above its namesake, False Colours…

Shameless vote begging :)
Hee! I am honoured and a bit staggered to find out that Captain’s Surrender has been short-listed for the Dear Author Bitchery Writing Award for Hellagood Authors (DA BWAHA for short). Why am I honoured and staggered? Well… (a) it’s Dear Author and they don’t take any prisoners 🙂 and (b) I’m up against people…

False Colors gets its first ever review :)
Hee! And would you believe it, it’s from the Salt Lake City Weekly in Utah 🙂 After Transgressions, (review under the link) the folks at Running Press have sent us another “M/M romance,” False Colors, a story populated by many strapping sailors (oh, yes, we like the sound of this!) More Waistcoat-ripping!!! He seems…
