Or at least, the publication day of Too Many Fairy Princes approaches, but I liked the grammar of the title better. I have a lovely early review from Publisher’s Weekly, calling it an “effervescently charming fantasy romance” http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-61921-742-3 but due to the whole ‘being ill since June’ thing I have not managed to arrange any…
Off to hospital tomorrow to swallow a camera so they can check whether this is a stomach ulcer or not. They sounded alarmed that I’ve been steadily getting more anemic even while I was taking iron tablets, and instead of going “Take this and come back in a month” they’re now going, “OK, next week…
So, this week I have gone from nothing to a rough plot plan of the next book I’m going to write. I say nothing, but I knew I wanted to write a Fantasy with queer heroes, so that was somewhere to start. I do like to have a little bit of m/m romance in there…
It seems I was a bit premature in claiming I was back, last month. All that happened was that my stomach ulcer returned, leading to another month of pain through the chest, exhaustion, loss of appetite and finding it hard to breathe.

Hee! It’s always exciting to win an award but it’s almost equally exciting when you get the trophy in the post. Which is what happened to me today with my Swirl Award for best Fantasy/SF novel featuring an interracial/multicultural romance. It was really nice to win this particularly since my LGBT romance was up against…
Basically that’s all I’ve got to say. I thought I would try to see if I could figure out my way around Tumblr because when I tried first I utterly failed even to put up a user icon. But after a week or so of trying to use it regularly it became the only thing…
Q&A: Why did you choose to go indie rather than going for the traditional publishing route? For me, self-publishing was the quickest way to put my book under the eyes of the natural judges of all written work – actual paying readers. It meant that I didn’t have to wage months and years of battle…
