4th May 2011 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
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... -

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... -
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... -

1 So, tell us a little bit about Circlet?
I started Circlet Press when I was still pretty much fresh out of college. I had been working at a respectable, venerable book publishing house for a couple of years at that point, but I'd always thought of myself as a writer and was trying to get published myself. The more time and energy I spent on other people's books, the further... -
Free Fiction: Illusions
2nd August 2010 | 2 comments | 1 person likes this
“They called it the Cornish Riviera in the magazines.”
Maisie had imagined sun – hot, baking sun, beating down on white sandy beaches full of smiling people. Like the South of France, only better, because you wouldn’t have those foreigners who didn’t understand English (not even when you repeated yourself, louder). Not this dank, dismal excuse for a holiday resort, where even the ice cream vans sold hot chocolate and the... -

1 So, tell us a little bit about Xcite...
Xcite was founded in 2007 by Hazel Cushion, Managing Director of Accent Press. She felt there was a shortage of quality erotic fiction that was empowering and positive for women whatever their sexual fantasies and kinks may be. The company originally started with short story collections but now also publish novels and some ‘How To’ books.2. How do you define 'erotica' as... -
Selena Kitt of eXcessica Publishing – the interview
8th June 2010 | 0 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
1. So, first of all,what led you to set eXcessica up in the first place?
The truth? I wanted a market for my more explicit work. I knew it would sell well (and it does!) but the traditional epubs out there didn't take submissions with things like nonconsent and incest. So eXcessica was born. And it began to grow. And grow. And GROW!2What are eXcessica's aims?To publish work that pushes the... -
New Release: Too Good To Be True
17th May 2010 | 1 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
One of my favourite stories to write came out fairly recently - Too Good To Be True. I originally called it Fat, Frumpy and Forty, but strangely the publishing company didn't think that this was a saleable title! Anyway, Mandy - the narrator - thinks her love life, not to mention her sex life, is over for good when her husband leaves her—for an older woman. But that's before she has the...

Kay Kenyon – The Interview
26th April 2010 | 4 comments | 0 votes yet, click here to agree or disagree
1. What made you decide to be a writer?
I put it off for as long a I could, but eventually I couldn't ignore the nagging feeling that writing novels would be lovely. I experienced a push-pull about writing. On the one hand, I had an urge to try my hand at something that I felt I (somehow) could do. On the other hand, from things I'd read, I had formed... -
Free Fiction: Carleton And The Penguins
8th April 2010 | 2 comments | 2 people like this
I'm a fiction writer, so I thought "Why not post a bit of fiction on this blog?" Here's a ficlet I wrote using the following prompt words: penguins, rain, flash, corset, slippery, riding crop, lantern, apostrophe, tricycle, spaghetti and deosil
Any word prompts for further free ficlets will be happily accepted! Carleton always blamed the penguins.He had a good defence for the story, whenever anyone challenged him on this explanation. He had gone to...
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...
