Scavenger hunt

Rainbow Reviews is doing what looks like a fun promo-come-book-giveaway in June, called the Rainbow Reviews Scavenger Hunt
if you're a big fan of m/m books and fancy an attempt to get a whole load of them for free, you can check out how to play using the link above.  I'm giving away a copy of Captain's Surrender, and there's a long list of other authors giving away books, so it could be fun :)

The Macaronis has a post about women in m/m fiction, written by Lee Rowan, author of 'Ransom'.

And the Britwriter's blog has stunned us all by being so popular it's had to turn people away.  Currently featuring posts about village fairs, stately homes, the fine art of gardening on one's allotment, cultural differences in interpretation of Torchwood, and the pearly kings and queens of London.

We've also got an all day Brit-picking clinic lined up for Friday, where anyone can drop by and ask about anything required in Brit-picking their stories/novels/fic.  I'm hoping that will be something we can do regularly which will be fun for all concerned :)

Thank you for reminding me of the Britwriter's blog (and thank you even more for the wonderful post on "Blossoms and Bygones" - the pictures are lovely and I am still chuckling when thinking of the combination of picture book cottages, mysterious Saxon chieftains that nobody can find and - - - Daleks).

Oh, hey cool, I was just asking Mylodon about Brit-picking... Thank you so much.

This looks terrific - I'll be reading. Even with two Brits picking Walking Wounded, I still got a letter from a guy in the UK castigating me for having a closet... but I've seen UK 'sell-this-home' and DIY shows that suggest such things do exist. I'm looking forward to reading the blog on Friday evening, but I'll be away from the computer most of the day. Maybe next week...

You're a real whirlwind, woman - when are you finding time to write?

So many terrific projects! Love the Macaroni blog already, and am thrilled at the idea of a regular Brit-pick clinic.
