News:
If you want a sneak peak at two works in progress, you can find them here. As usual, things out of context don’t make a lot of sense, but they’re the next items on my “to be finished” list.
I’ll be participating in the International Thriller Writers’ Inc roundtable discussion, starting April 1st: Comedy and Humour in the thriller genre: Is it difficult to write comedy or humour into thriller novels? Is it necessary, desired, or just a tool to release the tension in some needed spots?
Come and see what I think and add your thoughts – would love to have your opinions.
Talking of April Fools’ Day, there’ll be various short pieces of what can only be described as daft fiction by some very brave or very foolhardy m/m authors appearing at The Macaronis blog that day. I’ve got Toby and Alasdair, the closeted actors, putting in an appearance. The title I got given eas "Apologies for the faint smell of fish"...
And now for news and inspiration mixed! Here’s the cover art for my next release from MLR, Tumble Turn. Lovely stuff.
In a story based around the London 2012 Paralympics, Ben Edwards is the rising star of British Paralympic swimming, with a medal at firmly in his sights. Love isn't going to be allowed to get in the way—until he meets Nick, who proves to be a big distraction from training. With his times sliding, and a family illness, to worry him, it looks like Ben's Olympic dreams are in tatters. Until Nick comes up with the most outrageous incentive for winning.
