The muttering earlier today about making my email address more obvious on my website was prompted by another author passing on a message to me. Someone had asked her if she knew my email address, because he wanted to tell me how much he'd enjoyed Spindrift, and couldn't find my email on my website. Yes, that's right, he. I've known for a long time that some gay men want romance with their erotica--I know several gay sf fans who are quite open about reading slash fanfic because it gives them the emotional content they can't find in commercial gay erotica. Now I've had a letter from a guy who wanted to say how glad he is that some publishers are starting to publish gay romance, and how much he enjoyed my book.

Fan mail is always nice. But this letter was especially nice to get...

Started writing again after the break after finishing Ship to Shore revision. No word count today, because no actual writing got done, but Alex and I did do some outlining on one of the joint projects. We've got the story arc laid out, and some bits of dialogue for it scribbled down as well. It's far too hot on both sides of the Pond at the moment to really concentrate on writing actual manuscript, but we still managed to do something constructive on the accountant story, and are well pleased. Might prod it a bit tomorrow.
