I’m afraid I had a bit of an evil chuckle over this one. I scared myself writing some of the scenes, so I’m glad to know it was all worthwhile 🙂 http://meanfatoldbat.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/the-wages-of-sin-by-alex-beecroft-mm.html It took me three tries to read it. Not because it’s poorly written. Oh, no, it’s just as beautiful, poetic, and immediately engrossing…
So, I’ve got the contract for Too Many Elf Princes, and we haven’t quite started on the copy editing process yet, but on the content editing side, my editor said to me “I’m curious about Kjartan’s relationship to his mum, can we have a bit more explanation there? Oh, and could you beef up the…
It’s so nice to see an older story get a new review. The Wages of Sin is very close to my heart, partly because it’s right in the centre of the venn diagram of my interests, being a historical, paranormal murder mystery, m/m romance. Partly it’s dear to me because it practically wrote itself –…
*G* I’m not sure about the grammar of that title. But I am delighted to announce that I’ve just signed the contract with Samhain to publish Too Many Fairy Princes, a contemporary fantasy on crack. Blurb: When Dave Wilson’s boss clears out the coffers of his failing art gallery and disappears, leaving him to confront…
Last week, I enjoyed revisiting the image that helped start off Shining in the Sun, so this week I thought I’d share one of the images that inspired me when I was writing The Wages of Sin It’s technically not quite right for Jasper, who has black hair and red-brown, sherry-coloured eyes. But the spirit…
Which struck me as a more interesting way of saying “several small things served up together.” Evidently I’m not alone in being puzzled and even depressed by the fact that there seems to be no place in this world for m/m romance with sparse sex scenes other than being lumped in with “erotica”. Elin Gregory…
So, today I have finished the first draft of The Crimson Outlaw, which came in at 31,073 words. Huzzah! I feel the need to celebrate and also to tell everyone. But, I only wrote 1773 words of my daily 3000 words before I ran out of story. So to what should I turn next? I’m…
How funny. The last review I had on this loved Garnet but thought Harry was a bit pompous. This reviewer loves Harry but thinks Garnet is a bit of a pest. I’m not at all surprised – the pair of them are such opposites it’s hard to like them both. I do, but then I’m…
because my reconditioned Cybook Opus ereader decided to give up the ghost in December, I have finally noticed the importance of the .epub format of ebooks. You can download an epub book straight from Goodreads to your Kobo, which is so convenient, and you can download any book in the Kobo library to your Kobo…
Last time, I was complaining that I don’t seem to be able to do the first draft of one project while brainstorming or editing another. This may be because my mind doesn’t easily hold two stories at the same time, or it may be because I’m just lazy and once I’ve put in the hours…
