I’m a member of a few online writers’ groups, and one of them currently has a discussion going on around the value of blogging for fiction authors. It’s an interesting read. You may have noticed that my posts are few and far between. There’s a reason for that – I’m a naturally quiet person. All you’d need to do is ask anyone at the day job. They also say the quiet ones are the worst, but we won’t go there! Anyway, I’ve been cogitating – from the Latin cogitare, to think – and maybe it’s time I peeked out at the big, wide world a little more often. Starting next…

Hot off the press!
I’ve just found out that The Velvet Ribbon (Club Aegis 1) placed 2nd in the Erotic Novel category of the International Digital Awards contest sponsored by Oklahoma Romance Writers of America. Congratulations to everyone who placed in all the categories, in particular Roz Lee, who placed first in the Erotic Novel category with “Strike Out”, and whom I had the pleasure to meet earlier this year in New York – well done, Roz! You can see the full list here.

Passion’s Last Promise (Club Aegis 3) – update
Here we are, just a few weeks from Christmas. I had hoped to have Passion’s Last Promise available before Christmas, but it looks like it isn’t going to happen – for which I deeply apologise. I am making progress – the problem I have is that my characters are telling me about lots of things they want to happen in the story, but I think it’s just going to be too much for this one book. That being the case, I’m trying to rein them in and make the length of this book less daunting a prospect. Once I do get the first draft completed, it will need a lot…

So what comes next?
To those of you who celebrate Labor Day, I hope you enjoyed the long weekend, and had a great time with your family and friends. Now that I’ve returned from the BDSM Writers Con, and I’m back to juggling the writing and the day job, I thought you might be interested to know what’s coming up over the next few months. Apart from anything else, if I tell you what my writing plans are, it means I have to stick to them! At any given time, I have a lot of projects bubbling away, in various stages of development. At the moment, however, there are two projects that are far…

Summer holidays
The holiday season is here, and I hope you’re all having a great time, whether you’re taking your vacation at home or going away. It’s great to take some time away from the hassles of work and life in general, and relax with your loved ones…and maybe take some time out to catch up on your reading. If your reading includes the three books to date in the Club Aegis series, first of all, thank you! I hope to have the next in the series available before the end of the year – the initial draft is still a work in progress, so there’s a way to go yet. Before…

Happy Independence Day!
Although I’m British, I know that a lot of my readers are based in the US, so I would like to wish you all a very Happy Independence Day. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend, and get to spend lots of time with the people you love. This weekend is a celebration for me too – the next book in the Club Aegis series, A Wanting Heart, will be made available for pre-order over the weekend. As soon as I have all the links – because some vendor sites take a little longer than others – I’ll make the book page available. It’s a shorter read than…

First standalone story
Spent Love In a departure from the Club Aegis series, I’m pleased to announce my first standalone publication, a novella featuring two professionals each at a significant turning point in their lives. Faye and Michael are strangers, but they are brought together on a windswept beach by Michael’s dog, Artie. They each have major decisions to make regarding their futures – can they move on and leave their pasts behind, and will they move on as acquaintances, friends…or something more? As this one is only novella-length, there won’t be a paperback version, and at least initially, it’s only available on Amazon. Available now, and you can find a list of links here.

It’s now Cam’s turn to take centre-stage.
