By Geoff Nelder
I laughed the other day because I received a request from a baby naming site to link with my writing one. Initially, I thought this was a curious variation of a Nigerian bank scam, but once my stomach subsided I realized there was some sense here.
When I started writing fiction, characters’ names appeared [...]
Getting started: outline, or not?
Posted in Merry, writers, writing, tagged outlines, outlining, pre-planning on September 8, 2008 | 7 Comments »
I will admit that I never used to outline at all, throwing myself into work without any thought of where I was going (or if I had a thought, I was convinced I would remember the relevant points when the time came…most of the time I didn’t and the ::ahem:: blinding flash of brilliance was [...]
What do you do with wayward reviews?
Posted in writers, writing, tagged Exit Pursued by a Bee, Geoff Nelder, reviews, science fiction on August 25, 2008 | 4 Comments »
An interesting set of questions has arisen with the release this weekend of a new review of my Exit, Pursued by a Bee. I’d noticed a reviewer’s name, Tony Williams, crop up many times in the scifi
forums and so I approached him. He, like me is a British author and reviewer. He said he’d review [...]
British Romantic Lead? Or an Alpha-Male?

You know, it’s difficult to see myself as a Romance Writer but I guess that’s what I am now. Erotic Romance, admittedly, but Romance nevertheless. Yes, I still write short ‘stroke’ stories such as the Ladz “Local Lovelies” series , and they go down quite well, but there’s no denying that Lost&Found, Charlotte’s Secret and [...]

My New Novella, Lost & Found, is released by Phaze today. At 26000 words and $4 (around £2), Lost & Found is the story of two men’s love for one woman – but not in the way you think.

Alex Beecroft Introduction post
Posted in Alex Beecroft, introductions, life, writers, writing on June 10, 2008 | 9 Comments »
I’m a relatively new writer who seems determined not to settle down to a ‘brand’. My first book came out on the first of January this year (2008). ‘Captain’s Surrender’ is a gay historical romance. Set in 1779, just before the end of the War of Independence, it’s a sea-faring adventure in the tradition [...]
Writing on the move pt 2: hiking not biking
Posted in Britain, writers, writing, tagged Anafon, Anglesey, Left Luggage, Xaghra's Revenge on June 10, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
My previous blog here was about writing on the move: cycling only carrying a laptop for the overnight stays. http://wulfwaru.wordpress.com/2008/05/26/writing-on-the-move/
But while not actually writing it is mainly on lonesome rides and pedestrian hikes that ideas sneak up on me. I’ve learnt the hard way and so I am never without a notebook and pencil these [...]
