I should make some resolutions, shouldn’t I? How about these – Get back to my target weight. (While I was ill, my digestive system went freaky, so I could gain or lose half a stone in a week without any changes of diet. I had absolutely no control over it, and after a couple of…
who is guest posting here today in honour of the launch of her new Christmas short story Home for the Holidays. I gave her my standard third degree, and here are her answers 🙂 1. What was your first book and what was it about? The first novel I completed I wrote as a teenager….
Went to see The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug last night and… it was OK. Let’s get this out there – I’m the kind of person who finds action sequences boring. I sighed in Raiders of the Lost Arc as Indy was attempting not to be sucked into the treads of a speeding tank. So,…
It may seem that I’ve phased out again, and certainly the blogging is sporadic, but quite a bit of paddling’s been going on under the surface. The consultants have finally decided that there’s no way I’m getting my iron levels back to normal without one or possibly two iron transfusions, which will each give me…
I meant to organize something organized for the launch of this book, but I failed. However, Stevie came to my rescue and interviewed me on her blog, so if you wanted to know a little bit more about Too Many Fairy Princes and why I am suddenly all about the elves, those answers are available…
Too Many Fairy Princes is out today! I would be more enthusiastic about this if I was not (a) anaemic and (b) still sedated after yesterday (literally, I’m not yet legal to drive a car as it hasn’t worked its way out of my system yet.) So I’m afraid I cannot manage anything terribly upbeat….
Or at least, the publication day of Too Many Fairy Princes approaches, but I liked the grammar of the title better. I have a lovely early review from Publisher’s Weekly, calling it an “effervescently charming fantasy romance” http://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-61921-742-3 but due to the whole ‘being ill since June’ thing I have not managed to arrange any…
Off to hospital tomorrow to swallow a camera so they can check whether this is a stomach ulcer or not. They sounded alarmed that I’ve been steadily getting more anemic even while I was taking iron tablets, and instead of going “Take this and come back in a month” they’re now going, “OK, next week…
So, this week I have gone from nothing to a rough plot plan of the next book I’m going to write. I say nothing, but I knew I wanted to write a Fantasy with queer heroes, so that was somewhere to start. I do like to have a little bit of m/m romance in there…
It seems I was a bit premature in claiming I was back, last month. All that happened was that my stomach ulcer returned, leading to another month of pain through the chest, exhaustion, loss of appetite and finding it hard to breathe. Forget exercise, I can’t even play the pennywhistle because the sustained breathing is…
