Apologies for the spam, if you are also a friend of mrs_leary... ♥

As many of you know, in recent years I have been writing male-male romance novels, which manifold_press have been kind enough to publish. Given that the Press has a significant presence on LJ, I felt I probably should have, too - and so yet another journal is born!

I am now also juliebozzaFor now I have simply ( Read more... )

For those of you kind souls who suffered with me through the writing process on this one... I wanted to let you know that I have at last published my Keats novel! Hurrah!

I am officially launching it today to celebrate Keats' 217th birthday. ♥

The title is 'The Fine Point of His Soul', a phrase taken from one of Keats' wonderful letters. In the novel ( Read more... )

Oh my, what a couple of days...

I'm delighted to announce that Manifold Press have now published a third title of mine: The Valley of the Shadow of Death. This is set in Chicago during the nineties, and features an unlikely partnership between a cop and a mobster, as they work together to bring down the local mob boss ( Read more... )

This tweet refers to the novel which features a walk-in freezer... Thank you kindly to those of you who helped me with the terminology for that! I am certainly feeling rather happier than I was this fine Monday morning...

I'm writing about a very large 'freezer' in which bulk amounts of frozen food packages and boxes are stored on shelving, and there is room enough for people to walk about in. It is also cold enough to potentially ( Read more... )

I am delighted to announce that the lovely people at Manifold Press / manifold_press  have agreed to publish two new titles of mine.

If our current plans come to fruition, The Valley of the Shadow of Death will be published in November 2011 - though perhaps not under exactly that title, as it is felt to be a trifle long. This is a modern-day tale of a cop, ( Read more... )

Wow! Before I was even caffienated this morning, I read the most generous review for Albert... I am feeling rather giddy as a result! :-D

Oh my word, what a weird and wonderful day...

I've just come home from work, where I had some great news, and a lovely chat with my boss, which would have made me feel giddy anyway - but that topped off a Purple Letter Day (even better than a red letter one) on which two of my titles were launched by the awesome manifold_press ! Hurrah!

Among the many reasons to celebrate today, it is Keats' birthday. He was born 215 years ago! Darling man...

I have celebrated by getting back into my little project of turning my Keats novel into a script, which I will then send to the BBC Writers Room. It is very sad to look back at my previous entries on Keats and realise that pretty much a year ( Read more... )

I have mentioned this excellent news before, but now suddenly it's all happening! The wonderful manifold_press  will be publishing not one but two of my titles on 1 November. Woot!

Manifold Press is an e-publishing venture based in the UK, focussing on male-male fiction. You can check out their website here. If you do so, you'll see my titles listed, though ( Read more... )
