How come I know a bunch of boring stuff about Henry VIII and didn’t know about this? As part of my ongoing love affair with all things Romanian, I now discover that in Roman times they had artifacts of spectacular weirdness and opulence. Why have I not heard of the Dacians before? I was assuming…
So, you have an idea for a story. You’ve asked yourself lots of questions and you know you have a central situation in which one or two main characters find themselves, which they don’t like and want to change. The essence of any story is to have a beginning, a middle, and an end. In…
I’ve been reading a lot of indie books recently, and noticed that most of them had covers only their authors could have loved. This prompted me to see if I could find a way of making some cheap cover art for smashwords – so cheap it was available to anyone, no matter their budget. And…
Hurray! Now it is possible to get them both at once and read them together as they ought to be read 🙂 And don’t they make a handsome pair? To celebrate, here’s an excerpt from Dogfighters: Blurb Fight a fire-breathing dragon with a wooden airplane? It’ll take a madman… Under the Hill, Part 2 Kidnapped…
It’s so nice to see an older story get a new review. The Wages of Sin is very close to my heart, partly because it’s right in the centre of the venn diagram of my interests, being a historical, paranormal murder mystery, m/m romance. Partly it’s dear to me because it practically wrote itself –…
*G* I’m not sure about the grammar of that title. But I am delighted to announce that I’ve just signed the contract with Samhain to publish Too Many Fairy Princes, a contemporary fantasy on crack. Blurb: When Dave Wilson’s boss clears out the coffers of his failing art gallery and disappears, leaving him to confront…
Sorry about this. I normally write my ‘Write on’ post on Sundays in readiness for the Monday coming, but was ill over the weekend, and still am, so I wasn’t able to. I will catch up as soon as I can put one word infront of another again and have them make sense. In the…
Last week, I enjoyed revisiting the image that helped start off Shining in the Sun, so this week I thought I’d share one of the images that inspired me when I was writing The Wages of Sin It’s technically not quite right for Jasper, who has black hair and red-brown, sherry-coloured eyes. But the spirit…
Hurray, I found the person who had awarded this to me. It was http://www.cranehanabooks.com Thank you Cranehana 🙂 It comes with rules: I’m supposed to share seven facts about myself. Then list the blogs and sites I find inspiring. So here we go. 1. I was going to be Christened Robyn, and have always regretted…
Which struck me as a more interesting way of saying “several small things served up together.” Evidently I’m not alone in being puzzled and even depressed by the fact that there seems to be no place in this world for m/m romance with sparse sex scenes other than being lumped in with “erotica”.
