Phew! I’ve had two lovely reviews from early readers of SitS, and perhaps now I can stop quaking in my boots over whether my contemporary is any good or not 🙂 Wave of Reviews by Jessewave says: Shining in the Sun is a breath of fresh air and you will love the British and French…
Cover art is one of the things that unites writers of m/m fiction (in so far as we can be united at all). We all hope to have a cover that reflects the story we’ve written. We’d like to have something different, maybe sexy, maybe moody, something tasteful that we won’t feel ashamed about reading…
I always wonder which to start with, but it would be churlish not to start with the good news in this case. Late last night I got a gorgeous, intelligent, insightful and above all positive A grade review for False Colors from Dr. Sarah F of Dear Author: http://dearauthor.com/wordpress/2009/04/09/review-false-colors-by-alex-beecroft/ “Rarely, oh so rarely, I’ll read…

I feel as though I’m always opening my reviews of Erastes’ fiction with some variation of ‘I know she’s my friend, but that doesn’t mean I’m just sucking up.’ I guess it keeps needing to be said. The fact is that when I find a writer whose work I like, I comment on their…
Surprisingly enough, although we’re sort of partners, (running mates?) in the launch of Running Press’ new line of m/m romances, I hadn’t actually read Erastes’ Transgressions and she hadn’t read my False Colors, until now. But we had a brainwave and decided to swap ARCs, so over the weekend we each got to read the…
We’re talking to Eve today on the eve 😉 of her new release, ‘Slave of my own Desire’. What upcoming project of your own are you most excited about? I’ve done contemporary, I’ve done science fiction, so I guess it’s time to move on to historicals. Two periods in history have always fascinated me: Ancient…
The English Imagination This is by way of a musing on Peter Ackroyd’s book Albion: The Origins of the English imagination. In which Peter Ackroyd attempts to discover whether there is a national character when it comes to the imagination of the inhabitants of the British Isles, and if so, what it is. I’m not…
There’s a great discussion going on here at the ‘Romancing the Blog‘ blog about one of the reasons NY publishers have for being unwilling to risk publishing m/m romance. Namely the idea that the female reader needs a female heroine to identify with. Someone’s also raised the ‘well it won’t sell as romance, but if…
I’ve just got to squee about this fantastic review of ‘Captain’s Surrender’ from a reader who loved it so much she’s almost written an essay 🙂 She says: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1602020892/ref=cm_arms_pdp_dp and scroll down. “Captain’s Surrender is a romance for those of us who are unabashedly romantic at heart and know a good love story when we…
