NaNo quote of the day

I got this idea from moondancerdrake - much more interesting than just a bit of blathering on and a wordcount.

Though, by now it's 'quote of yesterday' :)

“Most of my gentlemen would prefer to spend their time on other sports,” said Mrs Deane, and laughed aloud at the expression on his face.  Letting go of his arm, she tapped him sharply with her closed fan.  “Oh, Lieutenant, you think yourself so inscrutable!  But I assure you I have your measure.”

Mrs. Deane was a surprise to me, as she was meant to be a one paragraph experiment on John's part.  Instead she took over the story for three pages, shocked and amused him and extracted a promise that he would write to her.  Also she got to tell him all kinds of things through fan language as per this site   None of which he actually understood because he doesn't know there *is* a language of fans, let alone what it means.

New blog for character interviews of GBLT fiction

Some time ago a lady called Allison Knight set up a blog for which people were invited to submit interviews with the characters of their books. She preferred to keep this as a space for m/f romance novels only - which is of course her right. But I thought it was a bit of a shame that those of us who write m/m or f/f romance didn't have a place to do the same.

So after a long delay I have finally launched In their own words A blog for interviews of characters in GBLT romances. So if you know anyone champing at the bit to send in an interview and promote their novel, ask them to send it to alex@alexbeecroft.com, and I'll post it up as soon as maybe :)
