Coming Out in Our Own Ways

So why on earth would someone who identifies as bisexual and is technically out be afraid to tell their family they are dating someone of the same sex?

That’s been a common question in the last few months related to a character I wrote. My character Cal in Feathers From the Sky has a very loving family who has known in theory that he identifies as bisexual since he was in high school. Now at age 26, he is basically coming out again or in a new way, because all his family has known about him is...

Guest: Anne Barwell Talks about her Soundtracks

Welcome, Anne. It’s so lovely to have you visiting me today!

Thanks, Posy, for hosting me here today.

My upcoming release Shades of Sepia is the first book in The Sleepless City, a M/M urban fantasy series co-authored with Elizabeth Noble. It’s one of those stories that collected a fair-sized ‘soundtrack’ along the way.

When I write I like to have music playing in the background. It’s part of my writing routine. Make a cuppa, put on music. Sometimes it is just background music, but often I find...

Guest Post: Annabelle Jacobs’ Bookshelf

Annabelle Jacobs’ is here to share her bookshelves with us, or at least one. Please welcome her.

I love to read. I especially love to read with an actual book in my hand. Don’t get me wrong I have an awful lot of books on my ereader, and now it’s where I do most of my reading, but there’s just something a little nicer about a book.

I have a lot of books. There are far too many for my poor bookcase to handle, so I have them piled up all over the house. As you can see, I like a whole range of gen...

Writing Challenges – Getting Started

I have a new project or five in my head. I know the characters very well already. I know the plot points that will turn and move the story forward. I know the setting, the year the stories take place, the tone, even the secondary characters.

So what is keeping me from starting?

I just said my least favorite word: start. How the hell do I start this book? What’s the opening scene? How do I not get bogged down in everything I just talked about in the first paragraph and instead, write a compellin...
