I feel I ought to blog, but only because you’re supposed to blog once a week on a regular basis. It doesn’t mean I’ve actually got anything to say. I had a very nice day on Saturday, dancing at Ely Apple Day with the Riot. We were unusually together and danced with both vigour and…
Charlie’s answers are over here. WIP meme What is the title of the book you’re currently working on? The Glass Floor (temporary title as the actual glass floor got left behind in an older idea for the plot.) Where did the idea come from for the book? I have absolutely no idea. You can’t expect…
If there was one thing that came out of the UK Meet for me (and actually there were several) it was the importance of voice. Let me say that again, because I don’t think I used enough emphasis. It was the importance of an author’s VOICE. Aleks Voinov speaking on behalf of publishers everywhere, and…
Heh, or perhaps it just feels like that. I’m still struggling with Frankenstein’s computers, but in keeping with the spirit of the month I’ve managed to do a post about vampires. Appropriately enough, this is an undead post, which had to be resurrected in pieces after the upstairs computer died from exhaustion and confusion due…
Gah, I hate this laptop. It’s OK as a temporary thing the family can take on holiday when the PC has to be left behind. It’s marvellous as a temporary emergency replacement for the PC when the PC is broken. But the keyboard stinks – when I type, I brush the trackpad with the heel…
The UK Meet was brilliant this year, better than last, I think. I very much appreciated the constant flow of coffee, and the fact that there was fresh fruit to snack on all day long (though I was greatly tempted by the curly-wurlies.) I had been all ‘goodie bags? Who the heck cares about getting…
I am still around after the UK Meet, but I got home to find my computer, which had been finding it hard to get started in the morning, was now thoroughly kaput. It’s still not mended, as the motherboard and cpu bought to put in it are not willing to talk to each other, but…
So, Too Many Fairy Princes is finished, and I love it. It’s one of the few things I’ve written to which I would quite like to do a sequel. (Maybe where Drake keeps killing people and our heroes get caught up in the police investigation.) But it has no sex scene in it. It has…
that Riptide Publishing have accepted “Blessed Isle” for republishing as a stand alone novella. It’s going to get an editorial sprucing up from the amazing Sarah Franz, a new cover, and come out in time for the new year. Hurray! I’ve spent most of today (well, the part not spent on the second draft of…
The summer holidays are almost over, hurray! They won’t actually be over until Eldest goes off to university on the 16th of September, but the end is in sight. I’ve managed to get my weight back into the target zone of 10st 10lb – 10st 4lb (10 and a half stone plus or minus 3lb.)…
