Gosh time flies! I hadn’t realised that I hadn’t posted anything about my recent acceptances. I have a short story – Bridging Time – coming out in the Torquere Halloween Sip Blitz. As far as I know they are due out on the 31st!
I’ve also had a submission accepted for the Christmas Blitz at Torquere, this one is called Fortune’s Choice and of couse will be out in time for Christmas (not got a precise date yet).
Last, but not least, I have another Single Shot coming out but as yet have no idea when. This is a sequel to my earlier fantasy historical Sip, The Wrong Path, and it is called Twists & Turns.
I’m working on a novel at the moment and am waiting Edits on my two novels due out in January, and of course the two outstanding Single Shots will need editing too.
Wow, I’ve got my hands full – but what more can an author want!!

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 was over the moon to learn that my novel has done well enough that the publisher are going to give it a print release!
I have not got any detailed information yet but it looks as if it might have a November release. Woohoo!!

My Publishers:
I was thrilled to get the offer today of a contract from Torquere Press for my latest submission! This time it’s a novel, my first attempt at a fantasy paranormal, entitled On Reflection.
It never ceases to amaze me how my writing has taken off. It is only a little over 18 months since I seriously pursued being published, and now I have one novel, a short story in an anthology and five novelettes published. My second novel is due out next month from Phaze and with this new acceptance, I have two other novels contracted, one with each publisher!
Of course, this doesn’t mean I can slow down! If anything, I have to keep at it, produce new work. So, back to the writing

Heck, it was something of a shock when I realised how long it had been since I wrote anything on here! I have been so involved with writing, editing, promoting and most recently redesigning my website that blogging was way down on the list. Now, I have to try to remember what has happened in my writing world since March…..
I have had another Sip submission accepted from Torquere, this time for a fantasy called TUTELARY. Not had a publication date for that yet, but should be soon.
I do have a publication date for my novelette, TACTICS, though, it will be released by Torquere on 5th July – which means I will have two releases in the same month by two different publishers as Phaze are releasing BEYOND THE VEIL, my historical novel, on 21st July. That’s a first for me, two publishers in one month, wow!
What else? Oh yeah, I had another wonderful review for CANE a few weeks back. This time I received 5 Angels from Fallen Angels reviews. A sample:
Cane is a glimpse into a man’s heart and soul, and we are privy to Piet’s love, his hurt, his life. Watching Piet accept himself as a gay man during that time period with all the hiding necessary to stay safe and to not become ostracized by those you love gave me a new respect for anyone who has openly accepted their preference.

Lastly, I have finally obtained my own domain and only yesterday I uploaded my completely redone website, I think this version is much cleaner and easier to navigate. Have a look:
I think that is it, though the odds are I’ve forgotten something I will post again if I’m right!
I will try to get back into a routine of posting more regularly.

My Publishers:
I’ve been meaning to write this post for a while now and when I checked I realise it has been almost three weeks since I got the news I want to document! Gosh, time does fly when you are busy.
I was very pleased to hear – 3 weeks ago now! – that another novel of mine has been accepted for publication. Particularly pleased as this one – ‘Conflict’ – is the sequel to my historical gay romance, ‘Cane’. It has taken longer than I hoped to get it accepted but that hardly seems to matter now that I have the contract signed, sealed and delivered!
Really, 2008 is turning out to be a good year for me (so far!). My second novel – ‘Beyond the Veil’ – is due out in July, as is another novelette – ‘Tactics’ – as I just heard today. Busy month July! And now I have another novel slated for next January – that seems a long way away, but I have so much planned for this year that I’m sure it will be here before I realise it!

I signed a contract today for the publication of my second novel, Beyond the Veil. This time it is with a different publisher. It won’t be released until next summer (but some publishers are even reading for 2009!).
It’s a really good feeling!
