Whilst Rob Colton is certainly good at what he does, I am not sure he, or anyone else on GA, can be compared to Asimov or Tolkien... that's like comparing a chocolate bar and a four course dinner and saying they fulfill the same function.

I don't think you don't care. Never think that.

thanks Gary. I think Ishca is a good guy too. deep down and on the surface. He's good at making other people feel better about themselves!

Oh no, I don't dare get you all in trouble on my account. thank you sweetheart.

yeah... about that. there are "reasons" I stopped posting, reasons which have nothing to do with me, or you lovely people, and everything to do with where we are. After chapter 8 there is no more Sanctuary for a bit - I am very deliberately working on non-GA things, and unfortunately, I feel that I must.

This issue has now been sorted. Chapter 7 should be available to you. Sorry for the mix up.

“It must be around here somewhere,” Peter consulted the thick and dog-eared A to Z map book in his hand and frowned adorably. James sighed and wrapped an arm around his mate’s neck, pulling him out of the way of a cyclist who was speeding down the path. “I don’t know why you bring that thing. I keep telling you: we don’t need a map.” James tapped the bridge of his nose, and then sniffed. “We go East along the river… no, East is left.” Peter looked at him with the expression of the hopelessly lo

thanks guys. you get to be all full of love again when it comes out!

isn't that the worst?

So it is that we move into the final stages of editing a novella I wrote, and many of you enjoyed, in 2013. Cowboy summer has since been through the editorial wringer, combed over in fine and nagging details by the lovely Rustle, then nit-picked to within an inch of my life by Kitt. I have lost count of how many times it's been read through, how many times I've stared at the words trying to find errors and fix grammatical issues. Now it is with Vinnie, the man who did the final checks on the published issue of Born Wolf, and my oldest friend, for a last clean-up. And soon it'll be time, and we'll have another paperback and e-book out for you all to partake of if you wish. Some people think that all these stages should happen regardless, but the reality is that no one works for free, not really, and the hours involved in a full publishing edit are insanely high. People who buy the book (regardless of format) do get more for their money, something just that bit more polished, something with covers and sleek formatting, and my adoration and love. Not that those who read online doesn't get love too, and just as much. Cowboy Summer is a book very close to my heart, because despite the fact that Shura is a dapple grey quarter horse, and I cannot race around barrels or throw a lasso to save my life, it is a story almost entirely inspired by the horse I love. Copper taught me a huge amount, about horses, about riding, and about myself as a person. There were others too: Christian taught me about the art of long reining, my sister explained long and hard over skype about the right technique to throw a lasso, Ma showed me how to ask with my heels rather than the reins. But it was Copper who put in the hours with me: stood in the pouring rain while we waited to cross the road, argued back when I asked wrong, and taught me what it was to fly. He is an older boy now than he was the day we came to the start of a hedge line and in one and the same breath we both decided to run as fast as we could. I never asked, he never told, but I felt his pulse through my legs where we touched and there was nothing either of us wanted to do other than go together. I know how Rhyder Markey feels about his horse, because you couldn't make me choose between the horse and the man I love. So off we go, to share another part of ourselves with the universe at large.

thank you very much! (you can also get yourself an e-book or paperback copy for your personal enjoyment). I'm really glad you liked it.Raising Wolf will happen, one day. It's a time thing. Hell, if you steamed through Born Wolf in two days... speed reader awards! Well done you. Keep enjoying!

hahaha! no, rick doesn't have to turn into a werewolf (if that's what Theo is - I never said after all) he just has to pick whether to change the way he sees the universe. you definitely have to go check out Joe Nichlos "Crickets" - it's the best song and a lovely album. As for 'Born Wolf' - once you start, you'll be hooked. You're wandering into my niche now lovely! I'm glad you loved the little love story; it is one of my favorites.

thank you very much! it's a special little thing, falling in love like that.

is it worse to quit or to find out that no one cares?

I tried to say what Ma said, but as usual, she said it better.

thank you sweetie. as always, you give the highest of praises and nicest of compliments. I think it might be my favourite flirtation!

He was my parents old best friend's son. They reconnected through Friends Reunited (back when that was a thing) when I was 15 (he was 18). He lived at the other end of the country, and we went out for two and a half years, but a lot of that was on the phone. I will always feel a little bit guilty that I broke his heart.

does there need to be? Aren't literary festivals specific enough without the extra filter? Look for LGTBQ festivals instead and see what that throws up, it's a broader net.

Oh bugger! I knew I would miss something! I'll change it for the album version - I promise. I'm really glad you liked it, and I hadn't even thought about the way Matt and Theo would interact based on his feral-ness; either that was accidental or my brain did it without me (I often feel like a passenger in my own stories). Good spot!

Thank you Cole!Sometimes change isn't a bad thing, huh? I'm really glad you enjoyed it, you know I always value your input. Thanks hun

Maybe you'll never know? And thank you, sorry for interrupting your important sleep though 9its you're own fault really), and well done for getting through the whole thing in one two-hour sitting! Stamina! Next time remember to stop for snacks and supplies, OK? I don't want anyone fainting on me out here. thank you hun, and you're welcome.
