Club Latest
It struck me today that it was probably time I gave you an update on Club Aegis, and the latest book in the series. The word count for Winter’s Fire is currently around 68k. I think the final word count will be around 90-95k, so still a way to go to finish the first draft. I now have a better handle on Logan and Lucy, so I’m going back over what I’ve already done. Yes, I know – my writing method is stupidly inefficient, but that’s a work in progress too. Even though I have 6 books out already, I’m still honing my technique. I imagine I always will, because…

Golden Flogger Awards 2017 – Nomination
I am absolutely delighted to announce that Club Aegis 4: Passion’s Last Promise has been nominated in the Dominant Women & submissive men category of the Golden Flogger Awards 2017, as featured at the BDSM Writers Con, which is due to take place in New York from August 17 to August 20, 2017. Readers are often more familiar with the D/s dynamic where the male takes the Dominant role – I know I was. Then I read a series of books that included a story where the main male character was the submissive. I will admit, I resisted reading that story for a long time, until I’d read every other book then available…

Club Aegis – the future
Passion’s Last Promise, the fourth book in the Club Aegis series, has now been published. I’m working on the fifth, which will bring together two people we met briefly in Passion’s Last Promise—Logan Simmonds and Lucy Winter. Not much potential for romance there, you might think, but when you have a woman with ambition and a man in need of a partner for an undercover investigation, anything can happen. You’ll be able to find out what does happen in Winter’s Fire. You may be wondering where we go from there. There’s a man who’s appeared in most of the books in the series, even if only by name, and that’s…

Club Aegis Series Title and Numbers – information
Those of you who are really observant may have noticed that the images of book covers on this website and on the retailer websites have changed slightly. There is a reason for this. While there is a suggested reading order that may enhance your enjoyment of the series, there’s no real need to read the books in order, as they are all complete stories, with no cliffhangers. I took the decision to remove the sequential numbers from the Club Aegis books, because Amazon, through which a great many sales are made, doesn’t allow decimals in the numbering of books in a series. This being the case, A Wanting Heart hasn’t been…

The book that turned me from a pantser to a plotter…
Passion’s Last Promise, the next book in my Club Aegis series, is finally in the hands of my wonderful editor. I am so relieved to be able to type that line. This story has been a long time in the writing – the first file I have for it goes back to September 2014. Between then and now, it’s undergone many changes – the main male character has had three different names, and I can’t even remember how many scenes have been added and then removed. Even the physical structure of the story has changed – until very recently, there was a prologue, but I decided that the content was best…

Club Aegis 3: Passion’s Last Promise – Update
I thought it was about time to give you the latest news about Passion’s Last Promise. I wanted to have this available for you before Christmas, so I apologise – I failed miserably there. The good news is, I’ve finally finished the initial draft. The better news is, I’m working on polishing it right now, and I hope to send it to my editor within the next ten days. The next stage is dependent on my editor’s schedule, but as soon as the edits are back and processed, I can have the book formatted and up for sale. So thank you for bearing with me so far – I can’t…
