Thank you so much to Kazza at On Top Down Under 🙂 http://ontopdownunderbookreviews.com/trowchester-blues-trowchester-blues-alex-beecroft/ Trowchester Blues is a gentle, kind book. The town of Trowchester is a lovely backdrop to the narrative of the story and the characters. This is my first contemporary read of Alex Beecroft’s, every other book of hers I’ve read has been…
The summer holidays have thankfully come to an end, edits on the Trowchester books can only last so long, and that leaves me with the rest of the year to write something new. So, what should it be? I’m currently writing a fantasy about three sets of people from diverse cultures who get stranded together…
Well, it’s exciting to me, at least 🙂 Firstly a rather belated announcement that The Reluctant Berserker is now out in ebook format from all reputable sellers of electronic wares. Any excuse to post the cover is a good excuse 🙂 Secondly, I can now announce that I have just signed a contract with Riptide…
What I appreciated the most is Kai’s characterization… there was a lot in his character I could relate to as sympathetic, decent and likeable, but there was always something in him that felt alien to me and I really liked that. I liked that he felt like being from another world, rather than just looking…
I’m still shuffling from doctors to hospital and back again while ingesting various chemicals and being scanned for things. CT scan yesterday, in which they tried to put a cannula in me in three different places and my veins played hide and seek. Back for another day of being sedated on the 4th of November……
I think of this review. It was initially published quite a while back on Goodreads, when I was a new author and wet behind the ears. Now the reviewer has put it on his own, excellent, review site, and I feel more justified in sharing it. This review and the conversation I had about it…
It’s been ages since I posted an excerpt of anything other than my work in progress, so I thought it might be nice to revisit the book that started it all. This is from Captain’s Surrender, first accepted for publication by Linden Bay Romance in 2007, actually published 2008 with a (frankly fairly horrible) cover…
*g* This rather delights me. I deliberately wrote False Colors with one hero who had to figure out a way of reconciling his Christianity with his homosexuality because it seemed clear to me that not enough people were telling readers that you could have both. To me it was fairly obvious that it was a…
Eagle eyed viewers may have noticed that there is now a little picture of The Crimson Outlaw in the sidebar of this blog, under the “Coming Soon” heading. That’s because I’m delighted to say I have signed a contract today with Riptide Publishing to publish this. Look for it in August 2013. It certainly won’t…
