Wayne's new release, Siren's Song has just been released. (It's brilliant.) So, I thought I'd catch up and ask him a few questions :-)
1. So, tell us a little bit about Siren's Song.
Siren's Song is the story of a tramp steamer, and the romance and adventures of those aboard her.Built in the late nineteenth century, Siren's Song begins life as a small passenger liner running a route from England to South Africa... -

Okay, all you parents out there. You have a clever kid. You're being driven crazy by the fact that zie doesn't seem to be making the most of hir opportunities. This is why. (Piece of advice: Do *not* show it to your clever children, but bear it in mind when dealing with them!)
There's one indelible rule if you're clever (by which I mean 'academically minded', which is not, in fact, the... -

Penelope Friday turns her blog over to Wisconsin dweller Rosemary Amico, who explains why what is happening at the moment in the State of Wisconsin has relevance to people all around the world.
You might have heard about the goings-ons in US Midwestern state Wisconsin this past week, but what you might not know is how important what’s happening is to the whole country, possibly the whole world.For a little... -
Please, BBC, Don’t Insult Your Viewers
9th February 2011 | 4 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
I've been hesitating mentioning the whole Top Gear furore because mentioning the programme or the presenters makes people presume I'm having a go at "whatever it is they've said this time", when frankly I could be trimming my greenie-liberal beard or buffing up my sandals! I don't really give a bugger about what the presenters of Top Gear say, because they go out of their way to offend - it's like watching small children...

Love and Disability
3rd February 2011 | 1 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
Love is one of the most important things in human existence; a basic need that everyone needs fulfilling in some way or another. Romantic love is something that most people yearn to experience, and which can bring great happiness, but can also come with many pitfalls, particularly for people with disabilities. Love is not something that can be legislated about: people with disabilities have ever greater protection and support in...

You know how, with satnav, you can choose the voice that will direct you? Well, it got me thinking... what would it be like if characters from Winnie The Pooh were your satnav characters of choice?
So I give you...Eeyore:“If anyone’s listening to me – which I doubt – you need to go left at the next exit. Yes, that one you just passed at top speed. Oh, I suppose you... -
Jennifer Hunter – Organiser Extraordinaire
6th January 2011 | 2 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
1. So - a professional organiser. What precisely does that mean?
In my case, I'm a residential organizer, which means I work exclusively in people's homes. I'm hired by individuals as a consultant, in the same way that one might hire an interior decorator or personal trainer. I work alongside my clients to help them shape their living environment into one that supports their needs and goals. In practical terms, this... -

A Trip To The Hereafter
It's not such a bad thing, you know, dying. I should know – death and me hang around together quite a lot, and he's always good for a pint of beer and cadging a few fags. Sorry, I'm being frivolous, and it looks like you're not in the mood. Can't help it: I'm always a bit like this. Anyway, would it really be better if I... -
The Joy of Erotic Eating
2nd December 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
Erotic foods need to be special. There has to be an edge of decadence, of luxury. A feeling that this is something unusual, to be treasured and enjoyed. Everyone knows that some foods are sexier than others – but why are they? What makes one substance erotic and another not?
Well, there's lots of reasons. The cost has a part to play: it helps to feel that this is something that... -
Thrace

Okay, so my science fiction anthology, Thrace, has been out for a couple of weeks now. I'm actually very pleased with it (and, for once in my life, with the titles of the three stories - Let Tsygons Be Tsygons, Electric High and An Equal Opportunity Murderer).
Obviously, it is time for a teaser from the stories:Jed took a step outside the shuttle port and physically recoiled. It was not, in...
CONTRIBUTOR
Penelope Friday
I'm Penelope Friday. I write erotica and I also write articles on sexuality. When I'm not writing about sex, I'm writing about disability. Sometimes I write about them both. When I'm not writing articles about sex or disability, I might be writing about cooking with pre-school kids, or about the Regency period, or about environmental 'green' issues. When I'm not writing erotica, you might find me writing sci fi, teen stories, poetry or twitter fics. Quite a lot of the rest of the time, I'm blogging obsessively, and all-too-regularly on the subject of missing muses...
