Recently Josephine Myles, JL Merrow, Charlie Cochrane, Clare London and I were interviewed by Wave about our role as acquisitions team and editors for Tea and Crumpet – and the interview is now up on Wave’s blog! So if you’d like to know a bit more about where this celebration of all things queer and…
I hope not all authors are like this, but I have the sneaking suspicion that it’s a tendency at least I share: On Saturday it was the Cambridge day of dance. The Riot had been invited but we couldn’t field enough members to make a side, so I went in support of my husband’s side,…
By gentle persuasion, a bit of misdirection (and quite a lot of blackmail) Loki has persuaded Freyja to dismiss her loyal elvish maidservant, and agree to do a spot of matchmaking on Midgard: ~
Thanks to Bruin Fisher, author of the wonderful “Work Experience” for pointing out to me that attitudedirect.com are featuring Shining in the Sun. Their number one bestseller, apparently!

She sat before her glass admiring her beautiful face, rouging her lips with a paste of blood and honey. The yellow light shocked glints of red…
So, yesterday I hit my target weight on my diet, which means that I now have to figure out how to eat in order to neither lose nor gain any weight. That will be interesting. I may stay on the diet but start exercising, in an attempt to replace fat with (heavier) muscle. In a…
What a great year it’s been so far for films I wanted to see! I can’t remember another year like it. But perhaps I’m getting jaded as a result, because I went into X-Men: First Class with high hopes and found it very … meh. Part of this may be that I’m still obsessing over…
Cheyenne Publications owner Mark Probst has launched a great new project, begun after the rash of gay youth suicides a few months back.
