Seems there's a new sport and it could only be the annual Shepherd's shemozzle in
the small town of Hunterville, where men are men and men eat bulls'
testicles.
The 'sport' requires that men (and ladies if they please), bite down into bull's testicles (no, not while attached to the bull) and carry them in their mouths for 50m. Who comes up with this stuff? I wonder what train of thought is required for: let's cut off a bull's testicles, put them into your mouth, run with them and then swig beer, eat dry weetbix, and down a raw egg just for good measure. And not only that, let's make lots of people do it so it becomes a competition. Oh, what fun!
Ah, only in New Zealand. I mean, what else could fill the void since Lord of the Rings packed up and left? Now, instead of going to Middle Earth, one can get a mouthful of balls and admire the country side that way. So who won this year?...Well, a chap by the name of Josh Masters, that's who. When asked about the taste of testies. He replied: "Best of all, they weren't connected to anything." Now if that doesn't give you a hankering for balls, nothing will! LOL

It seems that in my dazed and confused state this week (working 14 hour days and getting a slight cold) I entered a competition and won! Now, I've never won anything in my life, so you can imagine my surprise. What did I win? I won a cover promotion for one of my books for one month at either The Romance Studio, Romance Junkies or Millennium Promotions (eXtasy's promotional arm) So which one do I choose? I need to get my name out, no doubt, especially as I am a new force in GLBT speculative f... Continue reading...

Time and time again I hear people
complain about romance being too sweet. On heaps of review sites I see
the same words: story was too sweet. I say, what's wrong with that? If
that's what the story is supposed to be, how can it be anything else?
Too
much our lives are filled with hate and hurt and bad things happening
every day. Just turn on the news, there's your proof. Why do you think
romance sells so well? Because it's needed. Sweet is needed.
Sure,
we need real life stories. Stor... Continue reading...

Well, I had five days of winter bliss down at Phillip Island. Actually, the weather was brilliant. No rain, slight breeze and sun in good doses. There was no TV, no phone and no internet. (But I did sneek the laptop down so I could write while everyone slept :-)) Day one saw us arrive, shop, get food, shop, get food, eat, shop and I think we shopped. The next day we went to a town named San Remo (yes, like the pasta) and watched the pelicans being fed. We then...surprise, surprise, shopped so... Continue reading...

About Me
My name is Mark Alders. I live in a house. This house has a street in front of it which is a good thing because if it didn't I wouldn't be able to drive down to the shop and purchase the chocolate I need on a daily basis *giggle*
Seriously, I am a mild mannered post office worker by day and an erotic romance writer (mainly male/male) at night. Not much else to say other than, like everyone else, I have bills to pay, a mortgage and family that I love and drive me crazy all at the same time. Oh, and I have a dog, too!
See?
Average Joe...except when I get down and write...then I let my imagination go to places I never knew existed and my characters invade my mind.
