It's like a theme
Something nice happens and then I get ill, as if I have to karmically pay for it 
I'm so exhausted today that I haven't been able to write at all, or even summon up the energy to comment on my FL. Another day of no progress on UtH (though I'm that ¦¦ far away from Ben's dramatic kidnapping and everything starting to speed up towards an all-action finale.)
So instead I've been researching the Age of Piracy and Captain Hook wigs. I think that – when UtH is done – I'll do that pirate story I ...

Lightning fast first reviews of Shining in the Sun
Phew! I've had two lovely reviews from early readers of SitS, and perhaps now I can stop quaking in my boots over whether my contemporary is any good or not
Wave of Reviews by Jessewave says:
Shining in the Sun is a breath of fresh air and you will love the British and French ambience. Alex Beecroft is a wonderful writer and her prose is some of the best I have read. She has a knack for creating complex flawed protagonists with whom readers fall in love and I never want her books to end...

Shining in the Sun is out today!
Woohoo! It's launch day for my third professionally published novel, and my first ever contemporary romance I'm doing that "new book out" thing of surfing the net looking for anyone who's read it already and given it a review. Which is a silly thing to do at this stage, but I can't help it. It isn't every day you have a new novel out 
Here it is on My Bookstore and More, and here it is on Amazon. It's only available in ebook for the moment, with the print version coming out next year.

In which good things have to be paid for
Heh, well, the net result of the two mile walk in broiling sun on Saturday (part of the saga of getting to London) was that Sunday was spent in bed, poleaxed with heatstroke. At least, I presume that was what caused the splitting headache and nausea. Still, it was worth it
Yet again I fail on keeping up a "post every day for a month" meme though, so catching up today I have:
Day 3 – Your favorite new show (aired this TV season).
Um… I don't think I have one. I don't even know what the new s...

Waterstones at Piccadilly FTW.
After repeatedly saying that I intended to go into London to look at the Queen my books in an actual bookshop, I finally got around to it today. What a thrill! OK, the whole driving into Ely, parking in the free longstay car park and walking a mile in blazing sunshine to the train station, only to find that the train had gone and the next one wasn't for an hour – that was a bit of a downer. But when I'd walked back to my car, moved it into the station car park and had the drink I was all b...

Coolness!
False Colors places at no.34 of Elisa Rolle's Top 100 Gay novels of the year
http://www.elisarolle.com/ramblings/top_100_gay_novels_2.htm
in some very good company too. I'm thoroughly over the moon and honoured about that. Hee! I'm not quite sure how it's all worked out, but thank you to whoever is responsible. Elisa, I guess!

On TV news, I'm just going to have to stop having favourite characters. They always die, but usually not quite that fast. My kiss of death is clearly...

TV meme borrowed from Gehayi
I enjoyed doing the writing meme, if only because I didn't have to think up topics to blog about, so I thought I'd jump on this one too. However, I don't watch a lot of TV, so it may be sparse.
Day 1 – A show that never should have been canceled.
For example, I can't think of a show I've watched that was ever cancelled. I do remember the mucking about that occurred at the end of Babylon 5, though, where the story arc was compressed into about three episodes at the end of series 4 because...
Lovely review for The Wages of Sin
From Elise at SensualReads.com
Alex Beecroft's The Wages of Sin is perfect for the reader who enjoys MM romance, an intriguing and dangerous mystery, a touch of the paranormal and two heroes that are brave beyond measure
Still no news on when the print anthology is out, I'm afraid.

The Sun rises on Amazon
Hee! I'm so excited about this. It seems like a very long time since I had a novel out. Over a year, in fact. So I squeed mightily to discover that Shining in the Sun is now available for pre-order on Amazon.
Was it a terrible idea to suddenly change tracks and do a contemporary? Only time will tell
