Truthfully, it hasn't been the best few months. Biggest CFS collapse in about two years, general flakeage of the worst order...and now I have one arm in a sling and a raft of hefty antibiotics to deal with an infected cat bite.

Heh.

On the plus side, while I've been very quiet and not updating everything like a good little writer, I have had a couple of new releases out. I could detail them all here, but typing is hard, so I'd like instead to point people to my newly spring-cleaned website, where you can read all about magic realism novella Angelfish , and modern gay romance Devil & the Deep Blue Sea , plus how I managed to get all these interesting holes in myself.

Thanks!

Does gender really matter? My new novel, Filth, is not entirely a book about gender, or even transsexuality...it's a book about imperfect people and imperfect answers to impossible questions.

Filth follows Kel, who supports himself and his lover, Toni, on the money he earns turning tricks and catering to less-than-salubrious clients like Michael, 'The Sherbet Pervert'.

Kel's trying to put a problematic past behind him, but it isn't easy; especially when his boyfriend's leaping into the early stages of a self-administered gender reassignment that Kel can't believe is the right choice for him.

Toni, on the other hand, sees herself as a woman. Or, at least, she thinks so. Convinced that transition will see her end up brave, balanced, and confident, like her friend Danielle, she throws everything she has at the challenge, believing Kel's concerns are simply selfish.

But, when the harsh environment in which these two damaged people eke out a living conspires to push them both past their limits, Kel and Toni have to face some difficult truths.

Finally, I have throttled my PC gremlins and I'm back online. 2010 promises to be an exciting year, with several new releases forthcoming, my own publishing venture gradually creaking off the ground, and plenty more besides.

A huge, effusive thank you to everyone who has supported me over the last eighteen months. They have not been easy ones. You know who you are. To all the new friends yet to be made, an equally effusive hello.

This may just be a good year.
