She's Doing It Again...

I feel a little embarrassed to be plugging another anthology so soon after the last one (and particularly, knowing that Sindustry 2 is due out next week), but hey, is it my fault they all come out at the same time?

Er, yes, probably, seeing as I knew what the publication dates were when I sent in the stories... ;)

This one, Cherry published by Torquere Press, is special to me because it not only has stories by some stonking big names in m/m romance: Julia Talbot, Kiernan Kelly, BA Tortuga, Sean Michael - it also has the first story I ever sold. Yep, this is the one I was pinging off the walls about way back in April!

It's also my first attempt to write in a foreign language, by which, of course, I mean American. That brought its own problems: I could hear the characters' voices clearly, but being a simple, untravelled English girl from the Shires (wait, that's Hobbits, isn't it? Well, you know what I mean) I wasn't at all sure where they came from. Cue slightly farcical conversation with the long-suffering beta:

Me: Um, I've written this story - can you tell me where I've set it, please?
LSB: *sighs, and wonders why she agreed to all this*

It's probably about time I stopped rambling and let you read a snippet: ( Clickety click! (PG) )
