Goodness, It’s Been a While Since I Last Updated This Blog...

I thought I’d be better at posting here. I thought I'd regularly share stories and reviews with you, as I have done on many a previous blog. Somehow I seem incapable of doing so, though...

I really intend to maintain an active presence here, but somehow all my blogging energy has lately come to be focused on my Tumblr, which just welcomed its 1,000th follower. Now I know what you're going to say. Tumblr doesn't really work as a marketing tool, no matter how many followers you have. You could have ten thousand followers and still sell barely a copy of your books. It's true, unfortunately. However, I guess I'm just a little too addicted to looking at erotic photos and writing suitable captions for them to give up my Tumblr and spend all my blogging time here. Even so, I promise I'll spend a little less time on Tumblr from now on, and a little more time here...

Anyhow. What have I been up to, you may wonder, apart from spending (and possibly wasting) a lot of time on Tumblr?

Well, let's see. First there was some heartache. Then there was a much-needed four-week reunion with some loved ones, which was brilliant. Then there was some more heartache, which thankfully passed fairly quickly. And in between, there were trips and long walks and photo excursions. As you can see below, I’ve been able to indulge my passion for photographing trees in water. I've had fun barging through the mudflats with my wellies on and my tripod in tow while all around me, terrified little crabs scuttled away. I look forward to doing it again soon when the water is a bit higher and there is even more scope for photogenic reflections...







And then there was writing. Not nearly as much as I’d hoped, but enough to say I’ve been reasonably productive. And it will all be self-published over the next few months, because I’ve also been busy learning the craft of self-publishing…

Speaking of publishing, I have some trad-pub news, too. Since I last updated this blog, I’ve had several short stories accepted for publication by Cleis. Two of these stories will soon see the light of day, in Rachel Kramer Bussel’s Baby Got Back: Anal Erotica and Big Book of Orgasms, respectively. Rachel is currently giving away review copies of these books, so if you’re interested in receiving an advance copy and willing to commit to reviewing it on Amazon within six weeks of receipt, check out this blog post and claim your free read. Go on, you know you want to...

And that’s all for now. I promise I’ll be back very soon with more self-publishing news!
