Sunday!

[erastes]

Happy Birthday stormheller!  May this year be full of sales!

As promised - some Kitten Spam.



Lili - who was sliding into comfortable middle-age until Mummy bought those nasty boys in...


Why DID you bring those boys in, anyway?



Oh he's SO embarrassing....


Oooo look, she's taking my picture again.... Kiss me, Severus... She loves to watch...



Standish was at number two on amazon.co.uk yesterday. slipped to 9 today.  There are benefits to being miscatagorised as Gay History.It's also still on the bestseller list for literature, which is pleasing.  I only realised recently (how dim am I) that, unlike records and films - a book's popularity can be improved by time and hard work. 

I had applied to Customised Erotica as it looked like the sort of thing I could do - write to order - fandom is good training for that.  But now I've had time to think about it, I withdrew my application.  The thing is that "erastes" is a m/m writer, and if I were to write Het, I wouldn't like to do it as erastes, I'd have to use another name, and what would be the  point of that?

Nothing else to report, been to Dad's - he's had the wills sent to him and he's put them "somewhere safe"  It's just about the worst thing an Alzheimers sufferer can do.  Because now we can't find them. Gah. It's very frustrating.  It's not that it precludes probate, but it makes things more complicated - and with dad's memory, more complicated is something I wanted to avoid.

I ordered Standish yesterday; finally had enough tokens for an order.

Aw, such cute kitties! I don't think I've seen Lili before. She's beautiful.

She is that. And she knows it, of course. The boys are in awe of her, but she will play with them, on her terms, which means they have to lie on the floor while she bashes them.

*G*

Good training, indeed.

You can always write het with slashy subtext. :) Are there that many people who would associate 'erastes' with slash? I'd imagine that people who know the meaning of the word do not really mind slash. :)

They have grown so much!!!
Funny how they really start to have these looks that fit their names so perfectly.

Nice to know your talent is paying off

Have you read any Laurel K Hamilton? She does quite well writing het and slash. Now that you are making a name for yourself you should broaden your horizons before you get really typecast and can't write anything else because your fans may think you've sold out. It's not too late. I love your writing but don't like m/m, so if you do write het or fem/, let us know, I want to buy.

Oh, and nice pu... uh nice cats
