Clinging to the scaffolding

Over at my blog, I pontificate on about structure. Not my novel's structure. But mine.

Author Sarah Granger on breeches, French spies and oily Swedish massage...

Over at my website, author Sarah Granger shares with us how researching her new novel - a wonderful regency m/m romance A Minor Inconvenience -  led her to the contemplation of young men and their naked, oiled bodies.  God, being a writer is hard. Very hard. Come to the website to commiserate with her and read an extract from the novel.

Soliciting. Just your opinion, but soliciting for all that

Over on my blog, I'm asking for opinions on what to include, or not, in the Shield series. Do you want to be told when and where Bennet is, or do you like to guess, mmn?  Enquiring minds want to know.

Great Review for Happy Holidays

I love unexpected Christmas presents, and this one was delightful. A lovely review for Happy Holidays by Susan Laine at Goodreads. Susan rated the anthology as a whole with 5 stars and had this to say about Happy Holidays:

John Hogarth and Kit Lewis have been domestic partners as long as they’ve been working partners, running a small but growing design agency in New York. After fifteen years together, Kit wonders if they’re getting stale and takes a typically creative approach to inject a little romance and excitement back into their love life.

I swear, if I hear “Do you know what day this is?” one more time… Kit and John have been together for fifteen years, and then Kit comes up with something to keep things lively in the bedroom. Creative. While Kit is bursting with good ideas, John is at first confused, then happy to be lead around by his dick to wherever Kit wishes. This story had lots of humor and a wonderful established relationship, excellent writing and a good pace.

Yay!  Merry Christmas all!
