New Blog on Gay Historical Fiction

Someone on the Historical Research Society asked me today if I had a blog about Gay Historical Fiction because they'd like to read it and I suddenly realised that I couldn't point them here, because - well, there's a lot of very random stuff what with the writerly and the memes and fandom musing and general rubbish.

So today I've created THIS which is going to be dedicated purely to Gay Historical Fiction, and I hope - think - that it's a unique place!  Just reviews up there at the moment, reviews I've posted on my LJ etc, but I hope soon to get articles, opinions, interviews etc.

If you are a fan of the genre and have written or would like to write some reviews please get in touch. If you want to write an article, serious, geeky, humorous, whatever, get in touch.

Now I just need a decent banner....*puppy eyes* anyone with photoshop skillz???  It has to be same size as the one there at the moment...

I'd been used to eating NICE ice-cream recently - Loseley and Ben and Jerry and that sort of thing. So I'm in my local shop and I find a local manufacturer "Made in Norfolk since 1898" and better still - it's sorbet - Raspberry - and lemon! 

So I buy a raspberry - supporting the local community and not succumbing to the evils of Caramel Choo Choo or whatever it's called.

I take one mouthful and my mouth immediately swells up. It was ghastly - luckily it only lasted about five minutes but it was rather scary at the time.

Then far too late I look at the list of ingredients....Water, Sugar, Raspberries, glucose syrup, stabilisers, E410, E466, E405, E407, citric acid, petin, colours, E110, E112, E129, E151.

BLECH!!!!

I tipped it down the sink and I'm going to send it back with a stinking letter.

Culprit? PARRAVANIS Traditional Italian Ice Cream.

I need caramel choo choo. Whimper.
