UK M/M Meet Up

So yesterday I got up early and drove to Ely to meet up with fellow m/m authors and fans – including Erastes, Alex Beecroft, Clare London, Anne Brooke, Josephine Myles, J.L. Merrow, Becky Black, Chris Smith, Sue Brown, Aunty Marion, Stevie and Tigg – we had a great day – there was pizza, nibbles and lots and lots of talking about m/m. (Apologies if I’ve forgotten anyone, I have a terrible memory for names and admit I cheated and got these off the badges)

I have been slacking. And yesterday was the definite spur I needed up my backside.

It’s a hell of a lot easier to not write, than it is to start again after a long absence.

I feel like there should be an appropriate cliche here – every journey starts with a single step, the person who doesn’t make mistakes never makes anything – but I’m sure you get the gist.

Edited to Add – I’ve added links to the blogs of authors who attended the meet to my sidebar, those I’ve been able to find. I’m still missing a couple so if anyone knows the links to the ones I’m missing please let me know.

Brief Encounter (2)

So I wasn’t actually intending to carry on with this story, the online fiction was going to be more of a series of vignettes. But this one didn’t want to let go. So here’s a little bit more. The first part is possibly still at the bottom of the page or you can get to it through the Online Fiction category or Brief Encounter tag. Carried on after the cut.

Brief Encounter (1)

So here’s my first little excerpt, it’s unedited (lol as you’ll easily tell). Set in the Five Brothers Universe, it’s something that I’m just playing around with at the moment. Continues after the cut.
