Well, her blog title is “Alex Beecroft put to the question,” so I thought I’d follow the theme 😉 I’m guesting today on Elin Gregory’s blog, where she asks me all kinds of fascinating things such as “what makes a hero?” and “is everything better with elves?” and “your characters – which would you snog,…
I’m sorry! I know you must be even more bored of me going on about UtH: Bomber’s Moon than I am, but I did mention something on Tuesday about a giveaway. So I thought you might like to know that I’m running a “give away a copy to a random commenter” thingy over here on…
I’m so relieved – that gap between first publication and first review is always so full of angst. Will anyone like it, or will I have to change my name and tattoo someone else’s face on top of mine just to show myself in public again? But mega thanks to Leslie S for a review…
LOL! Well, perhaps that was slightly exaggerated for effect. But hurray! UtH: Bomber’s Moon is out today, *and* it’s available at a reduced price on the Samhain store. Down from $5 ish to $3 ish, which strikes me as a bargain. However, and this is the sort of thing I’ve come to expect on a…
I may have mentioned before that I’m not the kind of writer who sees a movie in their head and writes down what happens from that. I’m the kind who has a head full of grey fog above a dark and unseen lake of words. I don’t have pictures of anything. If I want to…
So apparently the idea is that on a Sunday, you post six sentences out of whatever book you please, and then link to it in a central place at http://www.sixsunday.com/ I’m not sure I’m doing it right. Partly because it’s only Saturday (but if I tried to do it on Sunday, I think I’d fail…
So, after the excitement of Saturday I got steadily sicker, until by Wednesday it took me the whole day to write 700 words. On Thursday I gave up and awarded myself a sick day, which I spent reading blogs. As a result of Chuck Wendig’s “promote yourself” post I added a whole load of new…
So, last Saturday was the first time since that terrifying day in September when I appeared at a public dance-out as Coton Morris Men’s solo musician, and the first time I’ve played for them as their solo musician and been in Coton kit. Here is the proof: (Coton musician’s kit = anything you like as…
I suppose they could just be being thorough, in reading the second book in the series to see how it ends, but it’s still a thrill 🙂 They call it a “brisk and engrossing sequel to Bomber’s Moon” and say “it’s a treat for readers who like their romance with a healthy dose of adventure.”…
Rules 1. Go to page 77 (or 7th) of your current ms 2. Go to line 7 3. Copy down the next 7 lines – sentences or paragraphs – and post them as they’re written. No cheating. 4. Tag 7 other authors. (I am not doing this – anyone who wants to do it can….
