Just finished reading Tangled Web, and I have to say the RP books make one classy series! Tangled Web is the least melodramatic of the four books, but I like it for that. There’s a proper Regency restraint and elegance about it. In their own ways, the 17th Century, the Georgian period and the Victorian…
The disadvantage of having holidays is that it’s always so hard to get back into the swing of writing again afterwards. It may also have been a mistake to try to start again with a scene from the POV of a WW2 airman when I’m only half way through reading “Bomber Boys” and keep stumbling…
So, I’m writing a book in which there’s one guy who was briefly a prisoner in faeryland, one guy and one girl who are being held prisoner in faeryland when the book opens, and one guy who is kidnapped by the fae half way through the book. Naturally I think to myself “‘Away with the…
A while back I entered some of my cover art in the EPIC cover art competition. Then I promptly forgot that I had done so. So it was a nice surprise to get a Google Alert on Thursday that informed me that my cover for Ransom had won “Best in Category” for Historicals and Westerns…
Due to yet another flare up of the “ew, girls writing gay fiction, that’s just wrong” debate over Christmas, I ended the year wondering if I wanted to carry on writing m/m romance at all (and thinking that I probably didn’t.) So it’s taken me until now to make resolutions (as they say in PotC,…

It snowed again today, and I have a heavy cold, so I stayed in all day and made a book trailer for The Wages of Sin. After filming some video for it yesterday, I couldn’t get the movie making software to accept the file type of the video. I couldn’t find a way to convert…
Argh! Just die already, nobody cares! (Well, I don’t, you emo megalomaniac traitor. Push off, stop being such a whinger – it’s not as if you haven’t done this 10 times already without any of the drama. Die horribly and come back as someone better.) Also, why couldn’t he be ginger for a change? Also,…
In a wonderful way to start the new year, I woke up to the news that my novella “The Wages of Sin” has just been published by MLR Press: http://www.mlrbooks.com/ShowBook.php?book=WAGESSIN It’s currently only available as an ebook, but the print version is expected later this month in the anthology “The Mysterious.” The print anthology will…
