Not Quite Shakespeare – S A Garcia

Monday 2nd of June – which means it’s only a few more days until you’ll be able to get your copy of Not Quite Shakespeare from Dreamspinner Press and a list of terrific authors.

I’m really looking forward to getting my copy and if you comment to any of the interviews in the NQS series your name will go in the hat to win a copy of the anthology as a gift from me! On the other hand, if you don’t want to wait you can pre-order it HERE.

My guest today is S A Garcia. :)

So, what lit up your world this week?

Last week I was all excited about reading the Brandstetter novels, and I am still reading those when my eyes feel as though they might cope with the ridiculously tiny print. But it was pay day recently so I splurged a bit on ebooks and have been binge reading. This is something I do regularly the week after payday, and even more so if as now, I have writing of my own to do. All the “How to Write” books stress the importance of reading so I can follow their...

Not Quite Shakespeare – Jay Northcote

Happy Friday. This time next week I’ll be fretting myself silly as I scramble round gathering my bits to head off to Bristol for this year’s UK Meet, but that also means there’s only a week until we can get our sticky paws on an ecopy of Not Quite Shakespeare, the anthology of British themed stories from Dreamspinner Press. You can either wait or you can pre-order it HERE. Or you can leave a comment on any of the interviews with contributing authors and your name will go into the hat to win a...

Not Quite Shakespeare – Bette Brown

Monday Monday – and that means only one more Monday after this until the UK Meet where we will celebrate LGBTTQ fiction in ALL its forms, shapes and shades of the rainbow. Romance always takes centre stage but I’m planning on fangirling the authors who write the harder edged genre fiction too. Can’t wait!

But until then it’s grand to be able to host another author who has contributed a story to the Not Quite Shakespeare anthology from Dreamspinner Press!

My guest today is Bette Brown. Welcome B...

Saturday Recommendations

Every so often I see something – usually a post on Facebook or a blog – that reminds me of a gap in my reading experience that I need to fill. This week’s recommendation is just such a book – one that I’ve been intending to read for several years but it’s so old that there isn’t a digital version of it.

Anyhow, last week I was reading posts and spotted the name Brandstetter, and that reminded me to visit Amazon and look at the author page For Joseph Hansen.

A few days later my copy of The Comp...

Not Quite Shakespeare – Sam Evans

My aren’t the weeks just speeding by? I can hardly believe that it’s only 2 more Fridays until the UK Meet and until the Not Quite Shakespeare anthology will be available to buy. [Or you can comment to these interview posts for a chance to win a copy].

I’m looking forward very much to both the anthology and the Meet but for the moment am making do with grabbing the authors contributing to the anthology and forcing them to answer questions about their work. Today’s victim author is Sam Evans.

Writing process meme – on behalf of Elliott Mackle

I was very pleased when historical thriller author, Elliott Mackle, agreed to do because a] I knew his process would be interesting and b] he has written some of my favourite historical novels. Unfortunately he’s not in a position to be able to post his piece to his own blog so has asked me to post it to mine.

Take it away Elliott!
