Jim, A Single Man

Another sugar-coated fondant of a sweetling, lover of animals, cute as a puppy, Jim is precious.

Ben Calder, Chasing Liberty

He has a bit of an edgy job and has to lie through his teeth, but deep down he is a sweetie and a gentleman with a good heart and the patience of a saint. And those eyes.

Tom Hewett, Match Point

Posh boy but ever so sweet and cute, another eager puppy. Sadly he is a bit naive and innocent and is taken for a ride. He rocks the tennis shorts.

Henry Talbot, Downton Abbey

Oh sweet Henry. Utterly dashing and charming in his tux, with a side order of danger in his snappy chariot. He cannot contain his excitment at becoming a daddy. How adorable is that.

I would like to express my gratitude to all those who provided support, talked things over, read, offered comments and assisted in the creation of this book. Thanks specifically to Noor, Marie, Rousseau, Amanda, Lesley, Sidh, Blue, Zelkina, and especially to Aurore … your support means a lot. Above all I would like to thank my family, who supported and encouraged me in spite of the fact that…

And still publishing ….

Arggggggggggggggggggh Writing this damn book was easier than sorting out the cover. Struggled for 2 hours to get a picture of the right dpi. Each time I select one, even their inbuilt pictures, the DPI is wrong. Eventually, after much swearing, using an online program and saving the file in some weird format, I actually made the right picture the right DPI. Wooohooo. So, final checks, then I can…

Ok, so long time since I posted, but that’s because I’ve been busy in RL, and on polishing my Tom Calder/nano story for publication. Should be ready within the week (fingers and toes crossed). More news to follow.

Nano 2015 – Chapter 20

I watched the interrogation back at Police HQ from the relative darkness of the side room, through the one-way mirror. Benny joined Flint inside the brightly lit room, sitting down on the third plastic chair. I wasn’t sure it was going to take both of them to question her. From where I stood, she seemed completely deflated. She had done ever since Flint asked her to accompany him back for…

Nano 2015 – Chapter 19

I timed the journey to the Read’s apartment. We deliberately didn’t rush, and it still only took us six minutes. Read was not too thrilled to find us back on his doorstep. “What are you doing here again? This is bordering on harassment, Detective.” He turned his wrath on me. “And as for you, I hired you to find my daughter’s murderer, not to badger me with ridiculous questions.” Flint smiled…

Nano 2015 – Chapter 18

I headed back to my place the following morning, leaving Jake at Uncle Marks, with Zak. Uncle Mark was heading into work as well, but Jake would be fine with Zak to keep an eye on him. Digger’s SUV was parked in my driveway, alongside my own Jeep. I was happy to see it. The Escape had been alright, as a short term loan, but it didn’t really suit me. The Jeep was way more my style. The new front…

Nano 2015 – Chapter 17

Duval lived in a condo in southwest Hillington. It was pretty close to the beach and a number of up market stores, so I guessed it came with an impressive price tag. The parking lot was tastefully landscaped, with colorful shrubbery, all pretty low maintenance. Duvals condo was a lower unit, usually described as “easy access without the hassle of stairs”. Basically, it meant that the best views…
