What a silly what's its name I am. The release date for Fire of the Heart is the 15th of AUGUST not October! Doh!
I think I need another holiday! LOL
Hope of the Spirit, the final chapter of the Pembroke Eve Chronicles will be 15th October! Then the spin-off series, Diary of the Eternal War will take over from there :-) (don't know dates yet)
Well, here it is, my latest cover for my
next release! How awesome is it?! When's it coming out? August the 15th! Stay tuned, there will be a competition soon, too.
Here's the blurb, too!
Fire
of the Heart is the fourth installment in the Pembroke Eve Chronicles
and takes place a few weeks after the Spring Dance.
Jacob, Callum
and Zane are packing up for the night in the Food Emporium, when Mr.
Barnaby bursts in proclaiming Aloysius is missing. Where could a twenty
foot dragon have disa... 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...
I am officially on holidays now. Yippee! In a few days
(14th July) I am going away for much needed r&r to a place called
Phillip Island. No internet. No TV. No phone...bliss. I am looking
forward to spending time snuggled up in a log cabin, roaring fire, book
in hand and spending time with the family.
Well, with the World Cup coming to an
end soon, you may be thinking there's not a lot more you can do with a
soccer/football and how the hell are you going to while away those
precious hours again?
Here's a nifty solution from the folk at
Bonds. Proving that boys can do more with their balls :-)
It has come to my attention (and this is not a new thing) that books which follow a formula or a trope are the ones which will sell. This is the case for all genres, from crime to fantasy to romance. I have also come to the conclusion that I'm fine with that.
I know I have been ranting on, both on this blog and on facebook and wherever, but really it doesn't bother me that certain books and certain authors in every genre will always get the limelight. That's the nature of the business, after a... Continue reading...
Okay...over and over I see the same authors (m/m genre here) being pushed, reviewed, talked about, whatever. I also see, over and over, that the readers of these select authors complain about how they don't write imaginative works, the sex is boring, there is no plot, etc etc. Basically, everything I hate about a story is being said about these certain authors, yet, they sell like hot cakes and do well.
I think I have solved man's space travel problems once and for all. I mean, the biggest issue getting people into space is water, right? Well, that and oxygen and radiation and...well...lots of other things...But if we could solve the water problem, we'd be set. RIGHT?
So here it is. The solution. Only problem is...and it's a small, teeny tiny problem, if even one at all. The dehydrated water needs water to re-hydrate it. Gimme a minute...I'll work on it LOL

Excerpt:
I don’t know whether I said yes or not,
but in what seemed an instant, I was in some sort of house
overlooking the ocean. I guessed we were on the golden mile
in Thomas’s home. It was lavish, probably too nice. Everything
looked expensive, from the pictures on the walls to the vases on
display on fancy plinths. Even the furniture looked as though it
be...
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.
