New Release Spotlight: Vampire’s Delight by Holly Day

Hello everyone! Thank you, lovely Nell, for allowing me back on the blog (You’re always welcome here, my dear friend // Nell )

I’m here today to talk about my latest story, Vampire’s Delight, but before I do that, I thought I’d introduce myself a little. So often when visiting friends’ blogs, I just assume you know who I am, but that’s not always the case, is it?

I’m Holly Day, but I knew Nell before I was Holly Day. I’m also Ofelia Gränd and have been far longer than I’ve been Holly.

New Release Spotlight: Dear John by Holly Day

Hello everyone! Thank you, lovely Nell, for allowing me to drop by your blog again. This month, we’re doing something special. If you’ve followed Nell for some time, you might be aware we did a collaboration around World Naked Gardening Day last year. Now it’s time again!

This year, we’re celebrating World Letter Writing Day Nell Iris, A.L. Lester, K.L. Noone and I have each written a gay romance novella with letters.

Mine is called Dear John, and it’s about Logan, who is an undercover co...

World Letter Writing Day Novellas: Playing in a big sandbox

Hi everyone! I’m so pleased to be here today to talk about my contribution to our gay romance collaboration themed around World Letter Writing Day. We really enjoyed working together on our Naked Gardening Day stories last year and although it was hard to pick a subject that allowed for an equal amount of fun, I think we’ve managed it!

My story, Reading it Wrong, is set in my contemporary Theatr Fach universe, part of a series ...

New Release Spotlight: A Flowering of Ink by K.L. Noone

Thanks to Nell for letting me stop by! I’m so excited to be here – last year’s Naked Gardening Day collection was such fun, we definitely needed to do it again, this time for World Letter Writing Day!

“A Flowering of Ink” is m/m contemporary romance, 26,839 words, and it starts with Burne, a scientist on an isolated island, and Devon, a lonely architect in a thunderstorm house, and a piece of impressively misdirected mail. And then someone writes back…

I admit I initially wondered about ho...

Release Day: Love, Isidor

Today is the release day for Love, Isidor and the other stories written by the Naked Gardening gang, my dear friends Holly Day, A.L. Lester, and K.L. Noone for World Letter Writing Day. It’s so much fun to work on projects like these with them, and I hope we can do it again!

Amy Spector was also going to be a part of this project, but because of Real Life Circumstances, she couldn’t make the deadline. She still plans on finishing her story, and we hope to be able to include it in the Letter ...

Coming September 2: Love, Isidor

I don’t think I’ve properly told you about my upcoming story, Love, Isidor. I’ve mentioned it briefly a couple times (here, when we celebrated the one-year anniversary of Strike A Pose, and here when RatR did a post about AI) but not really talked about it, I think?

Love, Isidor is written for a joint project with the old Naked Gardening gang, because we all thought it was so much fun to do it. After a lot of discussions on the topic, we settled on World Letter Writing Day which falls on Sept...

New Release Spotlight: Hearts and Claws by Ofelia Gränd

My dear friend Ofelia Gränd is back on the blog today to celebrate the release of a new box set, Hearts and Claws. I love box sets, don’t you?

Hello everyone! Thank you, lovely Nell, for allowing me to come and chat on your blog for a bit. If you’re a frequent visitor to Nell’s blog, you might know me. I’m Ofelia Gränd, and I hang out with Nell in the awesome office, as we call it. We usually meet up and write together in the early mornings when her day job isn’t stealing her away.
