New Release – Too Many Fairy Princes by Alex Beecroft

I always get excited to hear there’s a new Beecroft available and this looks a really good one.

Too Many Fairy Princes

by Alex Beecroft

Happily ever after doesn’t always come quietly. Sometimes it puts up a fight.

Kjartan’s family is royally dysfunctional. He’d prefer to ignore the lot of them, but can’t since his father has set him and his brothers on a quest to win a throne Kjartan doesn’t even want. Worse, his younger brother resorts to murder and forces Kjartan to teleport — without looking...

Elin : Can you tell me a little about yourself? For instance, do you have to have a day job as well as being a writer?

Tunnelling for Revenge

Travis Sharpe

Blurb:

Fueled by revenge, guided by an intense hatred for any type of elected or appointed authority, and driven by an inherent need to worship a strong male leader, Alex sets out on a killing spree that will satisfy all three of his psychological crutches. Alex seeks to avenge and free his captured leader. He planned to do this on his own, but prior to embarking on his journey he is...

Humpday Hook

How the heck did it get to be Wednesday? I’ve been vaguely aware of time passing but it hasn’t meant much. So Wednesday and I haven’t signed up for HDH. Never mind I can still post and can still provide links to the other authors. Just click on the picture and the magic of the internet will whisk you away to a magical realm … okay to Blog Spot but the principle’s the same. I’ve been awake since 2 am so don’t expect sense, right.

So excerpts. Yes, posting excerpts is what it’s all about and I’v...

Saturday Recs

It’s the weekend – yay? – and time for more recommendations from my recently read pile.

Last week I was enthusing abut Mongrel by K Z Snow [and its sequel, Merman, which is just as good and follows some of the same characters]. This week I would like to recommend a historical novel set in a place I don’t think I’ve ever seen depicted in a LGBT themed romance unless there are vampires – Wallachia – with a cover that’s just to die for. I think it’s inspired by Ivan Bilibin, a favourite artist.

Th...

Visual stimulation

This is what I’m writing about at the moment:

Image borrowed from http://www.sub-urban.com – a site that fills me with great but slightly appalled joy.

I’ve always enjoyed the idea of secret places underground, though I find them a bit scary too. I did some caving when I was a gel, and quite liked splashing around in the mud, but there’s something very romantic to me about man made caverns. I’m not thinking about ‘romantic’ in a Romance sense – no hearts and flowers and angsty protestations of...

Cover reveal – Disappear with Me by L Dean Pace-Frech

I am so excited to reveal my new cover for Disappear With Me. My second novel will be released on Friday, December 6, 2013 by Musa Publishing. I wrote Disappear With Me last year from March to August. Although I didn’t set out to write an allegory about the struggle for marriage equality or other civil right, the 2012 Election season propelled the story forward.

Here’s a little more about Disappear with Me:

Love is greater than hope or faith, but can Reverend Leander Normal convince a jury tha...

Humpday Hook

I forgot to post again and may well have forgotten to sign up as well. I have a tooth abcess – owie! – and am not even as inefficient as I am normally.

But anyway – it’s Wedneasday so time for Humpday Hook and time for another bit of Regency stuff ‘n’ nonsense.

Last week Patrick was told that a family member had come to visit. I’ve skipped a bit describing Pat’s house because, I’m reliably informed, readers don’t care about descriptions. They prefer to imagine things for themselves. But in case...
