Guess who's hanging out at my blog today?


Yep, it's my chum, Jo Myles and she's here to chat about Tailor Made, art, sewing and a sequel.




Hi Lillian, thanks for having me over to answer some questions today. Always a pleasure to hang out with you!

There is no mistaking you as a British author, it is reflected in every word that you write, whether it be in language, attitude or the area. In Tailor Made, much like Merry Gentlemen, Bath is a real and interesting backdrop to the story. Do you ever w...

Should I be concerned about attending the UK Meet in June?

This breaking story on msn news implies that I should be.


Crocodile run free: mystery as creature 'on the loose' in Bristol
I'm particularly impressed by the advice of  Avon and Somerset Police's chief constable, advising people to 'think twice before you go water-skiing'.

The same story was covered in the Western Daily Press where it was confirmed that the police had established that Bristol Zoo 'had not lost a crocodile'.

Tempted to pack a giant butterfly net, just to be on...

Broken promises

I had semi-planned a post on flashbacks for this week, linking it in to Lovers Entwined and reminding people that there were several more hours to get a 30% rebate over at ARe on all books on the site published by Ellora's Cave.

However, earlier today I watched the last two episodes of Whitechapel series 4 in an effort to clear some space on my recorder for several new series I want to watch. For some reason these last few episodes had been hanging about on the box for ages; don't know why bec...

I noticed that many of my favourite authors are posting their resolutions. I don't do resolutions, or at least I try not to but unfortunately it is too easy to be swept away by the good intentions of others. I do have a couple of goals for the year as far as my writing goes.

Blog more often. Once a month at least. Last year I set myself an unrealistic bloggin...

Another sale

When Love Flue In is 20% off at Silver Publishing for one week only (11th-16th Dec).

Those of you who are eagle-eyed will notice that Silver have decided to change the title of my book in that promo with the omission of a single letter. Now my punny title implies that the story is about a severe cold bringing two lonely hearts together, when it is actually about a chimney sweep!

Read all about it

Or at least learn a little more about me.

I've answered a few questions over at UK Gay Romance, just by way of an introduction.

Want to know how I got started writing gay romance? 

Or the first published gay romance I read?

How about finding out what I'm working on now?

Or read an excerpt of one of my novels?

All of the above can be found in my interview.

Two guys dancing the tango

Every once in a while something catches your eye on Youtube and just has to be shared.

This is one of them. The quality isn't great but the dancing is impressive.
