Today in the Comfy Chair – Sage Marlowe

comfy chairMy guest today is Sage Marlowe, best selling author of contemporary erotic and paranormal fiction with several popular series – including Romeo and Julian, Sub-Culture and Ink Sweat and Tears. Sage really enjoys putting characters through the wringer – half the fun of being an author – but takes care to give them at least an HFN to tide them over until their next book.


Welcome Sage and thanks for answering my questions.

Today in the Comfy Chair – Dean Pace-Frech

comfy chair


Today I am joined by Dean Pace-Frech, a brand new author of historical LGBT themed fiction whose first novel, A Place To Call Their Own, was released last Friday.


Thank you for visiting, Dean, and for answering my questions.

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?


Dean: I have been writing for five years. I also work as an administrative assistant to eight busy doctors. I work 1 pm to 9 pm and do my writing in the m...

Hump Day Hook

I’ve missed a few weeks of this – a very iffy keyboard really takes the kick out of your gallop when producing something coherent means going back and inserting every H and N with a vicious whack – but I have trolled around the blogs of other participants to see what you’ve all been up to. Nice work lads and lasses. Here’s the special linky link to get at all the rest of the posts for this week.


This week I may as well carry on with my Regency crack. If you remember, Sir Aubrey Stanton-Rivers...

Well that’s a surprise.

I have been tagged for the Sunshine Awards, something set up by Shehanne Moor, author of historical romance, to celebrate summer and pass the joy around. The tag was passed onto me by Catharine Cavendish, author of very scary stuff. Thanks both!


Now it’s my job to answer eight questions and nominate another 8 people


1. Favourite song with summer in the title or the words (give the words)


My favourite song about warmth and pleasure in simplicity is Chelsea Morning:


Woke up, it was a Chelsea mornin...

We have a winner.


Via the wonders of modern technology – bits of paper screwed up in a hat – I have picked the winner from the kind people who commented to my bit of the Equal Rights Blog Hop.


Sherry – the gift card should be with you right about now. Congratulations and I hope you really enjoy the books you buy with it.


In other news it is Wilfred’s first birthday today. He used to look like this:



Now I can’t pick him up at all and he takes up the whole sofa. But his fur is still soft, his mouth is still gentle...

Seductive Studs and Sirens or something

Sweet Saturday, and I had a bit of a lay in and a read instead of getting up early and making this post. Not actually a bad thing because I was reading something rather fine that I will talk about another time.


Last time my recommendation was for Artifice, a graphic novel by Alex Woolfson and Winona Nelson. This time I’m offering you another HUGE free read – the cycle of FBI stories called The Shadow of the Templar by M Chandler.


Click on the cover and it will take you to her Lulu store where y...

My guest today is Vicktor Alexander, an author perhaps best known for his best selling series of books about The Tate Pack – wolf-shifters located on a ranch in Texas – but with many other strings to his bow.

Welcome, readers, and keep your eyes open for a question you can answer in comments to go into a draw for a copy of Vicktor’s most recent release, Impossible.

It’s so nice to finally have a working keyboard again. My typing is erratic enough but to try and communicate with no N, H or F made posting anything such a chore I really didn’t have the heart to bother. Time, I think, for an update.


I’m taking part in the Equal Rights Blog Hop hosted by Queer Town Abbey, which will be running until Sunday 7th. You can find my posthere and the main blog hop list here. Comment to my post and you might win a $10 GC. Don’t forget to a...

New Release

Just a little plug for brand new LGBT historical novelist, Dean Pace-Frech, whose first novel came out today from Musa Publishing!!


A Place To Call Their Own


Blurb:

Is it possible for two Civil War veterans to find their place in the world on the Kansas Prairie?

When the War Between the States ended in 1865 many Americans emerged from the turmoil energized by their possibilities for the future. Frank Greerson and Gregory Young were no different. After battling southern rebels and preserving the U...
