Remember that petition that went round asking the UK government not to deport a young gay man back to Iran, because he would only be executed when he got there? Thank you everyone who signed! We have a partial success – the government has promised to re-think and for now he’s safe. Here is a…
says _ocellot_ on livejournal She’s talking about this article on the science of love in Canadian Living.com magazine, which gives an interesting summary of latest research on brain states in love, interspersed with quotes from romance novels. The whole article is worth reading, but I’ll just quote the conclusion, for obvious reasons 🙂 “Passion needs…
On my re-enactment group’s yahoo group this morning was a link to an article claiming that Viking women wore metal bras. Naturally, as this conjured up visions of lanky Swedish blondes in chain-mail bikinis, the story ended up all over the media. Aptly summarized with additional sarcasm here All I can say is that I’ve…
In honour of the launch I’m re-posting lineae‘s gorgeous illustration for The Witch’s Boy, along with an excerpt of the scene she illustrated: EXCERPT Oswy stood, reluctantly, on the great gray boulder which balanced on the very top of Hammer-and-Anvil fell. Ahead of him the sun, glowing like a disk of dragon-gold, drove up into…
I’ve, finally, after much proof reading and correcting, pressed the ‘make available’ button on ‘The Witch’s Boy’. It’s a monumental occasion for me, though only in a small way. I believe that it means TWB should now be available through my Lulu storefront. It will take another 6-8 weeks before it’s available for order through…
I’ve copied this information wholesale from ruth_sims on LiveJournal but thought I’d pass it on in case some people hadn’t heard of it. Ruth says: A lot of us write and/or read m/m stories and enjoy them thoroughly. We love the characters, we love the romance, we love happy endings. And as authors, we can…
It’s come to my attention that Fred Phelps and his so called ‘Church’ intend to picket Heath Ledger’s funeral. Not because he was gay, but because as an actor he played a gay man once. Where will these people end? Well I don’t want to speculate on that. But it’s also come to my attention…
And so early too! I got this in my in-box this morning: Anyone who wants a signed copy (though I can’t imagine why anyone would ), just say and we can sort something out. (It’s all complicated by the Atlantic Ocean, but I’m sure we can get around that 😉 ) Squeeeeeee!!! Captain’s Surrender By:…
In an exciting new venture for my blog, I have an interview with my fellow Linden Bay Author, Shiela Stewart, multiply published author of Kidnapped, Secrets of the Dead, and the Passion series. How long have you been writing? What made you start? I’ve been writing all my life. But it wasn’t until six years…
So today I sent the revised revised version of 90% Proof back to the editor. Annoyingly enough, I can’t help but feel that it is in fact better for all the editing. It made me tear my hair out, but I think I’ve managed to take out ‘was’ but retain at least some period feel,…
