You wait all year for a new release & then two come along at once...
As I posted recently, my new novel Lovers Entwined will be released on the 6th December by Ellora's Cave.
But this post isn't a reminder of that even though I've opened as such.
My Christmas story, 'When Love Flue In', will be released by Silver Publishing on the 1st December. Since it is part of Silver's 25 Days of Christmas, Let is Snow, it has a generic cover.
Generic maybe, but I think it has a lovely wintery feel.
Hopefully the story will stand out amongst the crowd, but being the first rele...

A blurb and a release date
I have a release date!
Lovers Entwined will be released on 6th December at Ellora's Cave.
Now finally, I can reveal the blurb.
Lovers Entwined
Ewan is one of Boston’s leading genealogy experts. When a would-be bridegroom comes looking for confirmation that there are no skeletons in his ancestral closet, Ewan considers turning the job down. Trey is a jerk of the highest order and yet Ewan experiences an infuriating attraction that is easy to justify. Trey’s exactly his type—a carbon copy of the ma...

Just a teaser - Cover Reveal
Over the summer I received the artwork for my latest novel and I'm feeling the need to share it with you all.
It comes on its own at the moment since the blurb has yet to be finalised but the cover is a fair representation of the story within.
Cover design is by Dar Albert. I think he's done a great job. What do you think? Does it pique your interest?

*Face Palm* I am a techno idiot
Some how I have managed to delete all the comments on all my posts. Don't ask me how, not paying attention probably (I have too many windows open to concentrate on any of them).
Just so you know this wasn't done intentionally, I value each and every comment I recieve here. If you're new here this isn't a lonely loveless blog, it's just run by someone with the brains of a rocking horse!

In search of a topic (and not the chocolate nutty sort)
What to say…
Today is the release of Lashings of Sauce, an anthology which I am proud to be part of since I am sharing pages with the likes of Jo Myles, Charlie Cochrane, JL Merrow, Clare London and Jordan Castillo Price. It celebrates what it is to be, not just British but, European in this year of commemoration and festivity. So, as my title proclaims, what should I write about? To be honest I’m still slightly in awe of all the names my story nestles in amongst and the insightful, witt...

Phew, it's exhausting
Today I'm carrying the torch. Trudging the streets of this fine land, the skies mercifully clear of rain.
Well, the clear skies are true enough. The rest of those first lines, not so much. I won't be pounding the pavements between Grimsby and Lincoln today, that honour falls to dedicated people far more deserving (and fitter) than I am. What I am doing, is carrying the GLBTQ torch on this leg of the journey.

How important is a title?
Titles, much like the dreaded synopsis, can be the bane of a writer’s life. For me, titles either come to me immediately or have to be dragged from the text, kicking and protesting all the while. These second type are often barely satisfactory and rarely my favourites.Take my recently sold Christmas story, as an example.When Love Flue InThe title is, I hope, frivolous, amusing and gives an indication to the type of tale you will find within the book’s pages.It hit me in a lightning flash, wit...

Ho, Ho, Ho... Merry Christmas!
Yes, I know it’s May and you may be excused for thinking that the rain we’ve been experiencing has seeped into my brain. But it hasn’t.No, I have Christmas news. My story ‘When Love Flue In’ has been accepted by Silver Publishing as a release in their 2012 Christmas range ‘Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow’.Look out for future posts over the coming months when I'll be sharing more details about this story.
