I Do Two promo in Bristol

[jl_merrow]

Well, I'm back in the South-East now, but I had a fantastic time in Bristol on Saturday night, meeting up with fellow I Do Two anthology authors Bruin Fisher, Neil Plakcy and Sophia Deri-Bowen, along with fellow Necking co-contributor Josephine Myles.

We had a great time talking about writing m/m romance, and even selling the odd book or two! Neil, who's a seasoned pro compared to the rest of us book-signing virgins, is an absolute scream. He was telling us how much he preferred an evening in a gay bar to trying to promote his m/m mysteries in bookstores – because as he said, it's not that easy to just go up to people and say, "Hey, are you interested in mysteries? Yeah? How about mysteries with butt-fucking?"

Well, I'd be interested in a mystery with butt-fucking. Got a recommendation?

It was a great evening, wasn't it? Neil was fantastically entertaining, and I can see why he kept himself chained to the table because with that level of charisma I'm sure he would charmed the pants off a few of the punters had he "worked the room", so to speak.

I'm still floored by those rumours I shall not repeat about those "male" authors who are not quite who they seem...

BTW, read Snared today and really enjoyed it! I shall put a review on my journal in the next few days.

Ahaha, great line.

Hey, some of us are fine without the "mysteries" part...
