What they're saying about Resistance

Resistance has had some positive reviews over the last few weeks. Thought I should probably share some of them with you.
4 hearts from Pixie at MM Good Book Reviews

"both Mal and Rick are great characters that you can easily see care a lot about each other."
"some of the secondary characters made this story shine just a little more; Edna, Rick’s elderly neighbor, was a little star she shone brilliantly in the couple of scenes she was in. Smudge was a shining beacon as he lends a shoulder to Rick...

It's release day for Elin Gregory

If you follow my babblings on a regular basis you'll know I've been waxing lyrical about this book forever. Even in its unpolished form this was probably my favourite book of 2015. I honestly can't wait to read the finished article.

Rainbow Snippets - 2/3 July

Rainbow Snippets is a Facebook Group that invites authors to post 6 sentences of their work each weekend. It can be from anything you like, your current WIP, a recent release, the golden oldie that even you had forgotten you had written, or just a scrap of an idea (as long as it has 6 coherent sentences). Nothing of your own work worth mentioning? How about a 6 sentence review of your favourite LGBTQ+ story.


Well, looks like this will be the last snippet from Resistance. Release date is almost...

Fiction Friday

Gosh I've been awful remiss with these posts of late. I've not posted since a reading post since 20th May.  And d'you know what, I haven't even got a huge amount to show for the last six weeks. I've done some beta reading, and I'm currently reading a book for research, plus my lunchtime reading is a non m/m historical mystery, A Wicked Deed, which I've been devouring rather than taking my Kindle to work.

According to Goodreads I've read 11 books, That's poor. And most of them aren't good...

How long can you wait on a promise?
After his first night with Mal, Rick broke the habit of a lifetime and invited the sexy radiographer to spend the weekend in the sleepy English village he called home. Rick isn’t in denial but he’s afraid to reveal his sexuality in the close-knit community that has known him since he was a babe in arms.
The sex is amazing but equally Mal loves lazy days spent in the garden at Slopy Bottom, an...

Cover art quandaries

Yesterday was the cover reveal for Resistance. Book 1 in the Village Love series. So today I thought I'd talk about cover art and the problems you face when choosing a design for a book in a series.


Resonance was only ever meant to be a one off story. A way of processing my own fear that I discovered in that magnetic monster of an MRI scanner. And seeing if I could write a story in 1st person POV (Barefoot may have been the first story I had published in that POV but it wasn't the first I had...
