Update on Goodreads MM Romance Group Event Story.

Hi everyone,

Not good news on this front I’m afraid. I’m really sorry to anyone who was looking forward to the story, but I’m going to have to pull out of the event.

My health isn’t great at the moment (nothing new or dramatic, just too exhausted to get anything done at a pace) and I knew it would be tricky for me this time around, but I really hoped that I would be able to do it.

I’ve signed up for the event every year since it first started and always managed to complete it in plenty of tim...

Also, if you’re waiting for the print version, I ordered a proof copy of it today. All being well it might be on sale next week :)

Huge thank yous to everyone who has bought so far, and read and reviewed. *Hugs everyone*

I asked her if sh...

April Newsletter – AKA My plans for the next eight months!

Hello everyone :)

I’ve had a few questions lately about what readers can expect to be written sooner rather than later and what might be released when. So, rather than tell you what I’m doing this month, I’m going to go through the projects on my to do list so we can all have some idea what order everything will happen in.

Seeking Something

This is my current work in progress. It’s a Male/Male novella (about 20k words). This one is all cuteand fluffy after the emotional wringer Axel’s Pup put...

Easy Maths!

Hi Everyone,

If you’ve read the dedication at the start of Axel’s Pup, you’ll already know that it was my 100th commercially available book (i.e. not counting freebies).

With percentages this easy to work out, I couldn’t resist.

Out of the 100 books…

37 were published with Totally Bound 38 were with Resplendence Publishing 17 were with Amber Allure 3 were published with All Romance E-books 2 were with Riptide Publishing 3 were indi/self published

Axel’s Pup – Catching Up and FAQ

Hi everyone!

I had no idea last week was going to be as manic as it was. Axel’s Pup has proved far more popular than I expected, which is lovely, but it also has me playing catch up.

I only realised today that I never got around to doing a post saying that Axel’s Pup is available to buy now! Lol.

Well, it is available :) You can find it on Amazon,All Romance Ebooks and on Goodreads.

If you’re currently debating if the book is for you, you might find Amazon’s look inside feature helpful. They...

Shout Out!

Hello Everyone,

You might have heard me mention I have a new book coming out tomorrow.

What I haven’t said too much about yet is the other people involved in the project.

Axel’s Pup has been in the works for over a year.

I did the writing. Here’s who did everything else…

Giveaways, Winners and Useful Information

Hello Everyone!

A little while ago, I told you that there would be monthly giveaways. You might have noticed that I haven’t announced winners for the last couple of months. I didn’t forget. There is method there, not just poor memory!

Some of the publishers I’ve worked with are very strict about what formats and how many copies of each story authors can giveaway. It got very complicated trying to explain why a winner couldn’t have the book they want in the format they want.

So, I’m tweeking the...

Axel’s Pup finally has a release date! It’s going to be available for immediate reading on Wednesday 11th March but it’s available for pre-order on All Romance E-books and Amazonnow. I’m intending it to go out to Smashwords and its various channels on the day or release.

Camping It Up Available Now!

Camping It Up is now available! Okay, so I’m super late with this. It’s actually been available for a week! You can find it on Amazon. For the moment, it’s exclusive to them. It can also be read as part of their subscritpion services. It’s also listed on Goodreads. Did you read the blurb last time I posted it? Here it is again, in case you missed it. When Lindon agreed to go away for the weekend with his boyfriend, Cal, it didn’t occur to him to ask Cal what he had planned. Lindon’s been loo...

Coming Soon: Camping It Up

So, as you may have noticed, my plans for frequent blogging didn’t come to much. My mind has been whizzing around in a dozen different directions lately. I seem to be starting a dozen different things, but not finishing any of them.

Blog posts never quite seem to go to the postable stage. I’ve got so many bit of news, I’m comfusing myself trying to put them all in one post. So, one thing at a time from now on!

Todays topic – I have a short story coming out next Wednesday with Resplendence Publi...
