TACTICS at Fictionwise

It was very gratifying to discover that my Torquere Press Single Shot, TACTICS, is at No. 1 in the Publisher listing at Fictionwise and No. 2 in both Gay Romance and Gay Erotica.  I don’t think I’ve ever been No. 1 at anything before!  Or even No. 2   I know it won’t stay there long so I took a quick copy – for posterity LOL!

Never Enough Time!!…. but

I have been trying to organise myself so I made myself some notes – and came to understand today just how much I have on my plate over the next few months.  I have two novels which are due edits pretty shortly, and a couple of novelettes that I’ll be asked to edit soon too.  I have a new novel I am dying to start on but I have a novella to finish first for a deadline. I have promised myself to be more involved in the Macaronis and Britwriters Blogs and be a bit more prepared with promo stuff.  And to get back to posting on the TQ LJ. My first reaction to all this was a panicked ‘Bloody Hell, how can I cope with all this working round my job and family!’ My second reaction was that I love writing and I should be grateful I’m not stuck staring at my laptop with no ideas floating around my poor brain!’ While I can often be heard to complain that there simply aren’t enough hours in the day, I’ll never be stupid enough to complain about having too many contracts   I’ll have to take each day as it comes – and pray the deadline don’t all fall on the same day LOL!

Torquere Scavenger Hunt

Well if my website hits are any indication the Scavenger Hunt to celebrate Torquere Press’ Fifth Anniversary is garnering much interest!  Remember, there is a clue a day given on the Torquere Press site in the Route of Relationships’ promotion.  In the first week there have been some great fiction snippets – oh, that reminded me, must toddle off to read today’s!  – my own fiction snippet will appear towards the end of the promotion in the Anniversary section.

You can also enter the Print Book for a Year Giveway contest, what could be better.  Why don’t you have a look around the Torquere Press site and see what’s going on!

Have fun!

Beyond the Veil Reviews

I just realised I forgot to post news of two very good Reviews I got recently for my historical m/m novel, BEYOND THE VEIL.

I received 5 Stars from Literary Nymphs and 4 Stars from Rainbow Reviews –follow the links to read the full Reviews:

SNIPPETS:
Lit Nymph:
Stevie Woods has written a captivating historical novel in Beyond the Veil. The characters draw you not only into the tale itself, but also into the time.

Rainbow:
After reading the book for a while, I fell in love with David. He was a kind generous person to a fault. Stevie’s description of the love scenes between the two was phenomenal.
