I’m blogging about something close to my heart today over at Britwriters: http://wulfwaru.wordpress.com/
Amazingly, for once, it has nothing to do with writing or books.
Do drop by to read up on camomile lawns. I’ve also posted a couple of garden photos.

Fellow Brit author, Fiona Glass, is running a series of writer’s desks and mine is up now. If you’d like to see where I sit and pen…um…I mean type my stories then drop by her blog at: http://fionaglass.blogspot.com/
I’ve also explained, or rather ‘attempted’ to explain some of the strange things on there. )

Elisa Rolle may have started off as a reader but she’s become quite a respected reviewer among writers, although I don’t know if she’s aware of that. Being that she hails from Italy and English is not her native language, she surprises us by managing to write both eloquent and enlightening reviews. I’m not just [...]

Author and editor, Barbara Custer, has interviewed me on her Night To Dawn blog.

Thanks!

Vincent is a vampire of world renown, even if most people believe his story is a fable, but with age comes boredom. Seeking out new silk to line his coffin for his annual ball, he comes across a bolt of pink fabric. Curiosity leads him to seek out who ordered the cloth and in so [...]

I’ve seen a few references to this recently so it seemed a good topic. When should a writer (or anyone in the media) keep their beliefs private and when should they make them public?
Not all of us share the same beliefs. Personally, I’m glad of this. Not only would it make for a boring world [...]

A slight amendment to the site. I’ve put up a page via ‘Everything Else’ explaining how The Swithin Series came into being, although there’s also an explanation on the writing pages via ‘Arachne’s Labours’. Whichever one you choose to read — should you take the mission — I hope you find entertaining.
I now have my [...]
