Even Writers Take Vacations

I just spent a great week with a host of other writers at the Caerleon campus of the University of Newport, South Wales.  The statue above is at the entrance to the little town.

I attended lectures on writing romances - most of my books have a romantic element, even In the Japanese Knot Garden is ultimately about the fulfilment of love.  And I gave a talk on writing erotica - well, I would, wouldn't I?  With the astonishing success of that book  there's more interest in the subject than usual.

Here's the main building, flying the Welsh dragon flag.  Although we'd had two months of almost continual rain, it's always sunny at Caerleon.

They have an annual arts festival and there are sculptures throughout the town, including the biggest Welsh love-spoon in the world.  There's even one depicting fellatio, but here's my favourite:

"You carry on with that lad, while I comb my hair."

Hand in Glove: Now Published!

I'm delighted to say my Sexy Short, the 10,000 word Hand in Glove, is now available from Torrid Books
The idea came to me while struggling up a mountain in sleet and wind.  I'm glad to say it warmed me up considerably.  I hope it does the same to my readers!
