From the heart
If you include an autistic person's family, autism touches the lives of over two million people every day.
April 2nd is World Autism Awareness Day and I’m taking part in RJ’s month long blog hop to promote this.
The theme of this year’s blog hop is Prejudice.

I'm just a fangirl at heart

Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
Today is Fiction Friday and I'm blogging about a series of books that I read recently.
Men of Smithfield by LB Gregg
Four books make up this series, all based around the fictional town of Smithfield. Totally unconnected in story arc--Tony is the only character who appears in all four--each book deals with a different couple, easily identifiable since their names are in the title (the revised versions published by Carina), and the path they take to get to a relationship. Those roads are rocky, b...

Just a quickie
I know this video has been all over Goodreads and other feeds in the last week but I'm offering it up here as my Tuesday Tangent for anyone who hasn't seen it.
This Troublemaking Kid Is Reason Enough To Support Gay Marriage
Seriously it is so cute. Even watching with the sound off is worth it. Then scroll down the page for stills that will give you that mushy feeling all over again and a smile that won't quit.

Lillian Francis – Dealer in decadence
Seller of Smut? Purveyor of Porn? Writer of wantonness?Anyone who’s ever read anything I’ve written, be it published or not, knows none if the above labels apply to me. Romance with several angsty chasms to negotiate before the happy ending, and the very occasional, often oblique, coming together of my (hopefully soon to be a) couple. That is what I write and I see that very clearly in my head. The sub-genres vary; historical, contemporary, paranormal, but I think my readers know what to expe...

My plans to bore you shitless & an update
Earlier in the week, I hinted that I intended to blog more. That is my plan, whether I will manage to stick to it is another matter. My idea is to blog once a week, either on a Friday, cleverly titled Fiction Friday--and shamelessly stolen from my best friend, Katherine Halle--or on a Tuesday, Tangent Tuesday to be precise.
Pretty self explanatory titles. Fiction Friday will be about books and writing, m/m naturally, but I'm going to try not to focus on my own work and what's happening, or no...

A little rant
Today I'm blogging over at RJ Scott's blog.
Well, blogging might be a generous description of the mini tirade that I ended up writing.
Go, read. See what got me all riled up.
In other news, I plan to blog more. Yes I know I've said this before but I this time I really intend to carry out my threat to bore you all silly.

Late as usual - A WIP snippet
Since I offered up a snippet weeks ago and then failed to deliver, by way of apology, here is the whole of page 40 from Theory Unproven.
The story is currently with my critique partners and if you want any further information see my last post 'The Next Big Thing'.
On to the story. FYI this is page no. 40 of 248 & first draft.

The Next Big Thing
I’ve been tagged by Jo Myles for ‘The Next Big Thing’ blog tour. Never one to blow my own trumpet—I’m really not that flexible—and knowing how badly I suck at utilising social media, I grabbed the opportunity to embrace a wider audience with both hands.
Luckily, her email landed in my inbox at just the right time. I was despatching the first draft of my next novel to those wonderful peeps I rely on to rip my work to shreds so that I can, hopefully, put it back together again with as few tears...
