Change-oh, Presto!

I was a bit premature with my cover announcement, folks. Here is the new one – or new to me one:

Someone obviously wants a Bonio!

So, now instead of lowering the tone for Tara Lain and A C Fox, I’ll be doing it for Tristram La Roche, Kiran Hunter, Dianne Hartsock, and Renee George. sorry guys.

I’ve had a chance to read the anthology now and I think there’s a bit of something to suit every one. I have no official blurbs to share yet but in these stories grief and love are inextricably entwined,...

I’ve just helped the BBC :)

No I don’t want a badge. This is something that happens frequently at work. We get a phone call from a researcher on some TV show or another who needs information/photos etc and we do our best to provide them.

Since this occasion was about something close to my heart I thought I’d blog about it.

The first record we have for a market is in the Lordship Accounts for 1256 and 1257 [financial years went over 2 years in the 13th century just like they do now] where it was stated how much a man had t...

Six Sentence Sunday

Six Sunday again – go hereto see the incredible list of incredible contributors and read the excerpts!

I am continuing A Fierce Reaping from where I left off last week with Cynfal sounding out just how interested the bereaved Gwion is, with a view to getting his big hairy paws on Gwion’s dead lover’s armour.

“I heard,” Cynfal said. “I’m sorry, and I’m sorry you were hurt as well.” He returned to the door and reached out to give Gwion a gentler version of the punch in the arm that Pup and March...

And we have a cover for it!

Earlier this week I mentioned a new release from the Gregory stable and now I have more information.

Today in the Comfy Chair – Marilyn Jaye Lewis

My guest today in the Comfy Chair is Marilyn Jaye Lewis, whose list of achievements and awards is so extensive that I’m not really sure where to start first with them.

Author of erotic fiction, screen plays and lyrics, editor of anthologies, groundbreaking multimedia artist, award winning web mistress – details of Marilyn’s career may be found here on her website . I can only say a heartfelt thank you to her for taking the time to answer my questions about her recent release, “Twilight of the...

I’m carrying on with my excerpts from A Fierce Reaping, a story set in the 7th century AD concerning a warband sent south for a rumble with the Saxons of Bernicia, now Yorkshire, thus setting a precedent for future conflicts that continued with edged weapons until the 198th century and fists and boots today on the rugby pitch. Tradition...

New Story!

I’ve got a new story coming out next month from Etopia Press. It will be in an anthology of Hallowe’en stories, title to be confirmed and features this amazing erection:

Sorry, I couldn’t resist it.

Set in Stone is my first piece of erotica. Never let it said I won’t rise to a challenge! It’s also my first attempt at writing in first person, mostly because of how confused I got with the pronouns.

More about it when I know more.

Cynfal hesitated for one moment then stooped to duck under the lintel and step into Gwion’s home. He blink...

New family member

Our lovely flat coat died suddenly in June, devastating all of us. This weekend we decided that we had been without a dog long enough and yesterday Wilfred came to join us.

He’s 9 weeks old, about the same size as a fully grown Jack Russell and his fur is silky soft. Look at those paws!!
