Wonderful review for Stone by Stone!

I was delighted to discover a wonderful 4.5 hearts review from Hearts On Fire for my historical novel, Stone by Stone:

“I did like this book for many reasons. First, it is a historical romance that held true to the history behind the story. Second, the undying love that each man possessed for each other was an inspiring thing to behold. But even bigger and more on a personal note, the love between the two men is seen as a fault only by man, and not by God.”

Wonderful review for Stone By Stone!

I was delighted to receive a wonderful, thoughtful review for my Tudor historical novel, Stone By Stone, from MM Good Book Reviews:

This is exactly how I like my historical fiction served.  History and romance are woven together so tightly that you don’t realize just how much research and effort went into its creation. … I find I have a real appreciation for sexy monks, political intrigue and clandestine meetings.  If that sounds like your cup of tea…I highly recommend this book

Great Review for Stone by Stone!

I was delighted to discover that my Tudor set historical novel, Stone by Stone, has received a lovely review from Top2Bottom Reviews.

“In Stone by Stone, Stevie Woods has created a novel that makes its characters suffer and work for their happy ending. It was impossible not to sympathize with Andrew and Mark’s struggle to carve some semblance of happiness from the obstacles that continually derailed them on their journey.

This is a story for the true romantic who believes falling in love and sharing a life with another is the greatest reformation of all.”

Hurricane affects Amber Quill Website!

Just heard from the powers that be at Amber Quill Press that Hurricane Irene has shut down their website. They hope to be working again as soon as they can. I know I ought not to take it personally, but damn, what timing with my novel out today!

Cover art for Stone by Stone!

I wanted to share the cover art I have just received for my gay historical novel, Stone by Stone, which is to be released by Amber Quill Press at the end of August.

BLURB (un-edited version):   After a misspent youth, Brother Mark is a hard working Benedictine monk working as a stone mason at Tavistock Abbey. He finds himself irrevocably drawn to one of the men sent by King Henry to audit the monasteries prior to closure. Andrew Cheyne is fascinated by the handsome young man and breaks down the monk’s boundaries with an ease that neither expected.

When Andrew returns four years later to finally close the Abbey, each man must come to terms with their past to attempt to plan a future they can share – but fate plays a cruel trick on them. Or, as Mark wonders, is it God teaching him a lesson?

Attempting to forget Mark, Andrew commences a new life, but fate has more lessons in store for him yet.

Just signed two new contracts!

I’m just about to open a bottle of wine to celebrate! I’ve just come back from the Post Office where I posted two new contracts back to my publisher – one for an historical novel set in the Tudor era, STONE BY STONE, and the other for AN ENIGMA, a novella in the Other Worlds series and sequel to BEST POLICY.

I’m looking forward to seeing what my new covers will turn out like. When I know more I will post again.
