a little fantasy * a little sci fi * a little love

I don't rave about books on my blog, yet there's been quite a few I've loved. So I decided I'm long overdue in sharing what I've been reading. Several books ago I picked up a copy of Jonathan Kemp's London Triptych. I'd read some reviews in the past, so when the novel was begging me …
From Top to Bottom is a short tale about three sexually adventurous men who, um, well, decide to become more sexually adventurous. I originally wrote this for my last publisher who, when first contacting them, was told that erotica and romance are what sell best. I wrote a romance that has been both praised and …

This blog post was originally published in 2015, the last Queermance sadly. I was keen to be part of this each year, but even as I looked forward to the event in 2016, it was cancelled and hasn't been resurrected. I'm still promoting it as it talks about genre and at the time, two of …

And writers and film-makers keep perpetuating this myth by having our romantic heroes fall for the physical attributes of their intended lover. Too often it's all about the …
This year my partner and I will clock up twenty-eight years together. And although the anniversary of when we met will arrive six months before the date we became a couple, it highlights the fact that love should never be rushed. Take time to fall in love. Don't go shopping for it. For it will tap you on the …
I was twenty-two when I left my family and moved to Sydney, looking forward to the new adventures a major city could bring. And one day I met this guy. How I met him is not important... ...what he wanted from me, was. He was inviting me home to meet his boyfriend for a threesome. So, what does …
I’m one of the lucky ones. I have been in a loving relationship with my man for the past twenty-eight years. We have argued, made up, faced dramas and shared dreams. In Australia we’re a multi-cultural couple. I’m a white fella, and he’s a black fella. And it was his suggestion I write this post. Kevin and …
This blog was originally published in 2013 and I was going to amend it before promoting it again, but I thought I should leave it as a snapshot of my thoughts at that time. I have a confession to make. I love Twitter. I like Face Book as well, but Twitter is like an ongoing …
