Another Way to Hide

AWTH is now available for pre-order over at BookStrand! I am super excited about my second release as I adore Jake and Daniel. All of my characters are special to me in their own ways (even the bad guys) but these two hold a couple of my ‘firsts’. They were the first book I actually finished the first draft of and one of their love scenes was the first I ever wrote (I will let you guess which one, lol).

I hope you like Jake and Daniel.

Getting published? me?

So I suppose it’s past time I made another entry on this blog of mine. It feels strange to pour your thoughts out onto a screen and think, or at the very least HOPE, that someone else will be reading them. I have had diaries in the past, containing all the usual teenage angst, and guarded them with all the ferocity of Cerberus guarding the entrance to the underworld (in my mind there was a strong resemblance between Hades and the turbulent emotions of a teenage girl so I thought that analogy...

Birthday blogging.

Finding this rather hard to write for some reason. I’m a bit baffled by this as I feel like I have had loads happen to me in the last few months and would love to talk about all of it. I keep deleting and retyping everything because it just isn’t coming out as I want it to. You ever have those days? I wouldn’t quite call it writers block, more like writers hurdles!

So anyway(away we go), since I created my author profile on fb and started making friends I have noticed a few o...

Starting over pt 4

As I said at the start of this, a few months ago I read my first m/m erotic romance and was hooked. Very soon after I read that first one I had a sentence pop into my head for the opening words of a story of my own set in the genre. A week after that and I was writing down ideas for books 2 -7 and three unrelated books. Grrrrr… the plot bunnies are breeding! Not that I was complaining, but sheesh! Let me finish one!

I haven’t been this excited by writing in a very long time, probably since my...

starting over pt 3

So I was having a more than usually tough time dealing with it one day and my grandfather came in and we talked for a bit, he had found me in floods of tears. I needed to get away for a while so I went on holiday to Greece. A friend of my grandmother’s had lived on one of the Greek islands (Syros, such a lovely place) for many years so I went to stay with her for 10 days, then down to Crete for 10 days where my grandfather joined me for the first week. I had to do all the travelling on my own...
