My Disaster Cover #bookcovers
After writing the last post, Sandrine Lopez, (@sanpezzers) tweeted and asked if I’d ever had an experience of having to live with a bad cover and would I do a post on it. I have to confess, this cover is so bad, it has tainted how I feel about the story as a whole. The […]
Cover-rage: Why Writers Need to Care about Covers #bookcovers
I had a horrible nightmare last week. I dreamed that my novel was released with a cover featuring a blonde bimbo with fake tits sandwiched between two rambo clones.

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. When did you start writing? I’ve always liked writing, but it was in April 1996 that I got the urge to write […]
