Being a walrus

Yup, I do indeed have many things to talk about. Don't worry; I shall probably forget half of them!

First, before it slips my well-greased mind entirely: I have a new release:


tortoise final

This one is dedicated to [livejournal.com profile] tiggothy, who when told of the real life incident this book is based on, said, "Tortoise-napping? Sounds a good start for a silly story..."

Here's the blurb: Cursed by an impatient witch to turn into a tortoise at inopportune moments, Tip is horrified to find himself tortoise-napped by a customer at the cafe where he works.

Things start to look up when Tip ends up very literally in the capable hands of drop-dead gorgeous Steve—but Tip soon begins to wonder just how far he can trust Steve, who turns out to have a close connection with his kidnapper. Tip's attempts at a normal life seem doomed to remain frustrated in more ways than one!


You can read an excerpt here. :)

Second: this, on Stumbling Over Chaos amuses me. Doesn't he look cute with wings? ;)

Third: A lovely review for Someplace in this World in Queer Magazine Online

Fourth: The British are coming!

Fortnight Banner
Check out Brief Encounters from March 20th for interviews, reviews and giveaways from a brilliant line-up of British talent. And me. ;)

Phew. I think that'll do to be going along with, don't you?

Ooh I just got tortoise interruptus downloaded to my kindle to read when my kids go off tomorrow night *squee of excitement*

Tortoise Interruptus is fabulous :-D And wonderfully, totally the opposite to how I'd do a silly story about tortoise-napping!
(I've realised I'm more of an action/adventure/derring-do kind of girl, which is probably why my intended-to-be-short stories keep getting too long!)

I think most of my ideas are for longer tales - trouble is, my muse/brain/characters get bored & when I get about 1/3 - 1/2 way through they want to skip the middle bit & go straight to the end!

I'm rather full of awe that folks like you can say so much in so few words in your stories. I guess it'd be boring if we were all alike!

Aw, thanks for the mention. Wings WITH a mullet. Not your everyday angel but a NASCAR angel!

Much intrigued by your new book. :)
