Alpha Male Blog Hop
Yes the Alpha Male Blog Hop starts today! Over 200 authors will be blogging with prizes to win at every stop. I hope you have your blogging stamina in fettle because some of the prizes are fantastic. More on that below, though. First my thoughts on the alpha male.
In real life the alpha male is a pain. We all know them – they are the guys who cut you up at the traffic lights, the ones who talk over you during meetings, the ones who refuse to explain things because they are too busy to waste th...

Today in the Comfy Chair – Theo Fenraven
My guest today is Theo Fenraven, a man of many talents. He doesn’t just write gay romance and erotica but edits manuscripts as well and is an excellent photographer.
Photos in the text below have been provided by Theo.
Welcome, Theo, to my comfy chair. If you’re ready, we’ll begin.

Elin: In Three of Swords and its ‘coming soon’ sequel Knight of Wands, you have written an exciting contemporary story with a considerable paranormal twist. What attracted you to this genre?

Theo: I don’t know that...

Today in the Comfy Chair – er, well, me actually
Though it was more like a chaise longue, really. I was interviewed by the lovely Charlie Cochrane, who asked all manner of questions about short stories, erotica and genres. If you’re up for it you can read the interview here.
Meantime, I am preparing more interviews with other authors. Next up – Theo Fenraven!
Good grief, this is my hundredth post since starting this blog! Just for a bit of fun, this weekend there will be a mini blog hop for my fellow authors of Hallowe’en Heat I. I’ll be post...

Today in the Comfy Chair – Charlie Cochrane
My guest today in the Comfy Chair – for the second time, no less – is Charlie Cochrane, best known as the author of the “Lessons” series of murder mysteries, but also for her contemporary and historical romances and as a passionate observer of sports and the men who play them [just not football].
Welcome, Charlie. Take the weight off. Ready? Here we go.
Elin: With the Lessons series edging, in story chronology, into the third decade, can you see a time where Jonty and Orlando might take off the...

Halloween Heat – an interview with Tristram La Roche
Available from all the usual places from 5th October, probably after supper
New release days are always exciting but once the cover, the blurb and the buy links of Halloween Heat 1 are posted, that’s it. So – just to be different - I decided that it might be fun to plonk Tristram La Roche down in the Comfy Chair and ask him some pertinent – never impertinent – questions about his story in the anthology, “Love Lies Deep”.
Thanks for agreeing to the interview Tristram. Comfy? Not too much light i...
