Sci-FI - taking the plunge

6/27/2015

0 Comments

 
I'm taking the plunge and writing my first true m/m based SCI-FI story - it's called Black Moon Rising and is currently in the first draft phase.

I am fascinated by ancient cultures, pre-historic sites, megaliths, caved paintings and artefacts - so I thought of a cool way to bring all of that together with extra-terrestrial visitors, a clutch of m/m romances and the few myth busters ... will keep you updated as the project progresses.

Goodreads 2015 Anthology

6/27/2015

0 Comments

 
This year, for the first time, I participated in the Goodreads writing event Love is An Open Road. The event is run out of the M/M Romance Group. Authors pick a prompt from the 200 loglines provided by members, and write a story.

The stories - including mine which is called Agenda - are now being published (for free); currently only available to members of the group on Goodreads. As soon as the stories become freely available, I will post the links.

I have to say, I was reluctant to enter the event because it involved writing to a prompt (something which I had never done before) and writing to a deadline (author and deadline = does not compute) - it was tough for both reasons but highly enjoyable once I got over the initial nerves and stress.

Then came the interesting part - the reviews by members of the Group. I had no doubt that I would completely split the vote - I did, spectacularly, principally because the humour is very English and the style of the story is very quirky - my muse rules my life so there we have it.

This is an annual event and I would encourage all authors of m/m romance to participate because it is great fun and an excellent way to get some profile, especially once the story is available widely.

Hope you're all having a great weekend.
