How to shock one's parents...
Apr. 14th, 2010 11:15 pmIt feels like it's been ages since I posted, so what have I been up to?
Well, for starters, I've had the draft cover through for my Scottish wildcat novella Snared, which is tremendously exciting! My first ever cover! *cuddles artwork* Unfortunately it's not at a stage where I can share it with you, but as soon as I can, I will.
I was as pleased as a very pleased thing to read a new review of I Do Two:
Aim Higher by JL Merrow is a lovely, funny, clever tale about a God, a teenager and her father. Perhaps the most smoothly written of all the stories in this collection, it is by a short lead my favourite.
*blushes* It's over on Wilde Oats, which is a gay and bisexual-themed e-zine featuring fiction, articles and art. Do head on over there!
I've also sent a copy of the anthology to my mother. She rang tonight to thank me for it, and mentioned that my father, who is 85, had read my story. Apparently he was "a bit taken aback by the language and themes."
For those who haven't read the story (and why not? It's for charity! *g*), Aim Higher is written from the POV of a 12-year-old, with absolutely no explicit sex whatsoever. I have a feeling I probably shouldn't encourage Dad to read any of my other stuff... ;)
