Oh wow! Where’s the champagne?
I just received a contract from MLR Press to publish a 5 book series of novellas called The Tomcat Line – it begins when a trucker picks up a rather unusual hitch-hiker. I have been working on this contemporary series for some time and so hoped I could get it published – I’m over the moon that MLR accepted the project.
I have no other information at this early stage, except the stories will be produced in both eBook and Print, but to be honest I’m too excited to want to do anything else but cheer and raise a glass!

The Macaronis spend the month of June at Coffee Time!
The Macaronis, a group of Gay Historical authors to which I am proud to belong, is hosting a month long extravanza at the Readers Retreat on Coffee Time Forum for the whole month of June.

“We are a group of authors of m/m historical romance, aiming to bring you high quality romance that is fun, gripping, sexy and heartwarming as well as being historically accurate. If you like Regency gentlemen and Victorian Lords, Georgian men-of-war and gay Cavaliers, this is the group for you. We’ll be answering questions such as “Are you really named after a type of pasta?” and “Boxers or briefs? What did men wear for underwear in the 18th Century?” We’ll be sharing excerpts of our books, running competitions, posting photos and videos, and hopefully chatting to anyone who’s interested in chatting to us.”
Come and join in the fun!

Oooops! Forgot to mention new release
Kinda embarrassed to realise I forgot to announce my latest release which was actually on 9th May!
TWISTS AND TURNS was the sequel to my popular fantasy Sip, THE WRONG PATH, released some time ago by Torquere Press.
BLURB:
Zeke and Crispin, who met in Stevie Woods’ story, The Wrong Path, are surprised to learn that the accident that brought them together was no accident. Determined to get to the bottom of things, Crispin takes Zeke into town to meet with Zeke’s father. Zeke has more than information on his mind; he needs to tell his father that he’s no longer interested in a marriage of convenience. Will Zeke and Crispin be able to make a life together, or will a powerful, determined man be able to interfere with fate?

Two new contracts!
Yep, two new acceptances, just waiting for the contracts to arrive in the post
It never gets old, that rush of excitement when a work is accepted for publication!
The first submission was a Sip, a short story line at Torquere Press, a contemporary tale of one man taking a leap of faith, hoping his friend will be there to catch him.
The second submission is a novella, set in a fantasy alternative world, which tells the story of a son, Willem, who goes searching for his missing father, a famous explorer, accompanied only by a man estranged from his father years earlier. Willem has more to learn than the whereabouts of his father.
I have no idea at all yet about publication dates etc. I will update as and when I learn more.

New Contract, New Publisher!
I was very pleased when ManLoveRomance Press recently offered me a contract for my submission to their m/m Anthology, AMONG THE LIVING, be published later in the year. I don’t have a precise release date yet, I’ll post more about that when I know details.
As soon as I heard about this anthology of m/m ghost stories I had a plot bunny yapping at my heels and I found myself very eager to be included.
My contribution, DEATH’S DESIRE, is an historical tale set partly late in the 18th century and partly early in the 17th century and I really enjoyed letting my imagination have free rein.

I note the link given is actually for the wrong review but that’s not a bad thing ’cause it means two reviews got mentioned:) I’ll append the correct link here, just in case:
