September and Pushing the Envelope

Hi Everyone!

This is the second month in a row that I’m actually doing my 1st of the month blog post on the 1st of the month. Might be a personal record!

Okay, so news:

Pushing the Envelope (2nd edition) is coming out on the 15th of the month and is currently in the process of appearing up for pre-order. I’ll pull all the links together in another blog post, either later today or tomorrow, depending on how quickly Amazon approves the story. But, if you do All Romance Ebooks – it’s already up...

July Newsletter – Audible, Envelopes and Sex :)

Hi Everyone!

For once I am at least vaguely ready for the new month!

I had two main aims for July:

Send Pushing the Envelope off to second proof

And

Send Better than Sex off to first proof.

Both jobs are now firmly ticked off my list[image error]

July also saw the lovely Kris Norris complete four more gorgeous covers for me, but I’m trying to show some self control and not share them all at once, lol.

The only one of the four that I’ve posted up so far is. Better than Sex, which will come out in November...

Coming Soon!

Hi Everyone,

It’s been ages, even by my standards!

I have this habit of putting things off until I finish the writing or editing project I’m working on. That was okay when I was focusing on short projects and working relatively quickly, but I think it’s going to have to change now, lol.

I expected my last editing project to take six weeks. It took six months, but it is now done!

Pushing the Envelope was previously available via fourteen instalments from Amber Allure. The new version is going...

March will be a much better month than February was!

Hi Everyone,

If you’re wondering where February’s blog post went, I know how you feel. I wonder where February as a whole went! In my case it started with a virus, ended with a minor shoulder injury, and wasn’t much better in the middle, lol. Not a lot of work got done.

But, it’s March now, and I’m determined that March will be a much better month than February was!

Okay, down to business.

It feels like very old news now, but back in January, the Goodreads MM Romance Group had it’s ann...

Happy 2016!

Hello :)

It’s been a while since I posted last – far longer than I intended it to be, but that’s pretty much par for the course with me and blogging I’m afraid. I write so many posts in my head, and completely fail to type them into the computer!

In December in particular, I should have been around, telling you about Christmas books I’ve written in the past. And I should probably have done a post all about what I did during 2015 – especially since 2015 was a good year for me.

I didn’t do any...

Magpie!

The second draft of Magpie is now available!

You can find the e-book version on All Romance Ebooks, Amazon and Barnes and Noble.

Here’s the blurb:

Everet has found his perfect place in the nest. As a raven, he’s ideally suited to his new role in the nest’s security flock. Some of the jobs it entails have been far more enjoyable than others, but when he’s called to retrieve a magpie, who’s got himself into trouble in a local human club, it becomes a truly life changing experience.

Magpie shif...

Time to Celebrate!

Hi Everyone!

Happy November!So much happy news!

Axel’s Pup has received an honourable mention in the Rainbow Awards. (Final results will come out in December.)

Celebrate is up for sale!

I haven’t posted much about it – I don’t think anyone has even seen a blurb before today! It’s a short story follow up to Duck! Here are the details…

Blurb:

It’s not easy learning how to be a swan, but Ori Jones has worked hard to embrace a role that still doesn’t come entirely naturally to him. Now, almost a...

Release dates for November and a new release!

Hi everyone!

I have two announcements today.

First is that I finally have set release dates for Magpie and Celebrate.

Celebrate will release on November 1st.

Magpie will go up for pre-order on the first, and release for real on the 14th November.

My second announcement is that an amazing friend of mine – Bronwyn Green – has just released her first ever BDSM MM story! Bronwyn was the first friend I made when I was first accepted for publication way back in 2008 – I love her to bits :)

Here’s t...

The Next Six Months

Hi Everyone!

I have cover art – lots and lots of cover art.

I also have news about what you can expect to see from me over the next six months.

(Quick heads up, these stories haven’t made it onto my website yet, so clicking on a pic won’t take you anywhere.)

Here we go…

November 2015

Two stories coming out this November.

Celebrate is a short story that catches up with Ori and Raynard from Duck! and which takes place in between Duck! and Magpie. It’s about 9,000 words long.It will make no sens...

October Newsletter – Queer Romance – Coming Soon – Questions and Answers

Hello everyone!

As you might have noticed, September shot by me so fast, I completely missed it. Although, to be honest, I wouldn’t have had a lot to say about September if I’d actually managed a newsletter during that month – other than, I’m spending September doing all the things I didn’t manage to get done in August, lol.

Anyway, new month, new start, and I’m going to start by letting you know where I stand on my various on going projects –

Avian Shifters Series

Thank you to everyone who...
