Other Voices, Other Genres: Marc Nash

In my continuing adventure to thrust suspect and dangerous people upon you, I’d like to introduce you to Marc Nash. He has a very challenging view of how to be a writer. I’d like to be more like him. When did you start writing? Apocrypha has it that I scrawled the word ‘help’ in amniotic […]

Proof / Test Readers Wanted

If you have been reading me a while and have been with me through the evolution of my novel, Beautiful Losers, you may or may not be pleased to know that I have finished it and it is being submitted for publication. However, I would like to ask if  some of you patient readers would […]

Love Me?

Some days, I think I lost you in the sludge of time I blame the years of erosion that wore the edge off desire. Others, I never found the right combination of clever words to unlock your cast-iron heart; I blame the limits of language. We find curious places to put our failures: in the […]

Other Voices, Other Genres: Heikki Hietala

Continuing on with my drive to introduce you to new voices writing in genres other than erotic fiction, it’s my pleasure to introduce Heikki Hietala, a Finnish writer of literary and historical fiction.

Other Voices, Other Genres: Moriah Jovan

This summer I have a lot on my plate, so I decided it would be a good time to introduce you to some fellow writers I admire. My aim is to wander a little further afield and encourage you to make the acquaintance of writers in other genres: romance, sci-fi, horror, detective fiction, non-fiction. In […]

In Honour of #BipolarAwarenessDay : Revisiting the Grave Cave

One of the things that I think very few of my readers know about me is that I am bipolar. I’ve hesitated to say anything about it because I’ve always feared that if people knew, they would simply discount anything I had to say. So, why have I decided to be public about it? Well, […]

Perfect Abs and Emo Too: Bared To You Reviewed

I decided to read Bared To You because it was sold as a well-written version of Fifty Shades of Grey. And I thought: hey, maybe the optimists were right! Maybe FSOG was a flawed but timely incursion of erotic fiction into mainstream literature. To give credit where credit is due, Sylvia Day is not E.L. […]
