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!

Blog post on ‘The Macaronis’ – Slavery in the Caribbean

I have just posted a blog on The Macaronis citing some of the research I did while writing my historical novel, CANE.  Pop over and learn a little something of the background of slavery in the Caribbean and discover some of what lay behind Pieter’s desire to end slavery.

You can find The Macaronis at:  http://historicromance.wordpress.com/

You can also read more of the story of Pieter Van Leyden and his complicated love for the Louisiana cane planter, Sebastian Cane, when their tale continues into the civil war – in which Pieter and Sebastian find themselves on opposing sides.  The sequel, CONFLICT,  is released on 19th January by Phaze Books!
