Further to the post on the editor’s panel, one member asked them a question from floor. She asked if any of them looked and male / male romances. The ‘big four’ sat in shocked silence. It took one of the HMB editors – who used to work for Ellora’s Cave – to explain to everyone […]
I have just attended a *very* interesting panel discussion on what publishers are buying in Australia right now. There were representatives from Harlequin Mills & Boon, Avon, Carina Press, Allen & Unwin, Penguin, Hatchette and Random House. The final four listed, in their own descriptions ‘mainstream publishers’, are starting to accept romance. They were polite […]
I arrived in Melbourne this afternoon, and made sure I turned up to register with plenty of time for the Romance Writers of Australia 20th Annual Conference, which is on this weekend. The theme this year is ‘From Here to Eternity’, and is already looking like it will be a brilliant weekend. I have been […]
I have put off writing this review for a while, because I really wasn’t sure what to say. I loved Fallout 3 so much and spent hundreds of hours playing the main game and all 5 expansions as they came out. So I was really looking forward to Fallout New Vegas when I heard about […]
I have to admit I can’t remember what this was for. Someone at work, either a birthday or a farewell. I found the scan in my folder when I was cleaning out emails. The stamp is one of my favourites, it is like a Renaissance depiction of the sun in the heavens. There is a […]
One of the student casuals at work left last week, returning to Sweden. This is the card I made, the background paper is all one piece even though it looks like multiple pieces of paper. The base cardstock is an off-white speckled card that has an uncoated texture. I really like to work with this […]
One of the girls at work got married and her colour scheme was black and white, with some hints of red. This is the card I made that was given to her with a gift from the people at work – I chose the chandelier because she is a bit of a goth. And although […]
So we had someone else at work getting married, and her manager asked if I could make a card for everyone to sign. I have worked with R quite a bit over the years, and have met her partner a few times so I was happy to get involved. Subtle and surreptitious questioning failed to […]
I have never been interested in Massive Multiplayer Online (MMO) games in the past, I’ve had a bit of a look at some of them and there was no appeal. But the Star Wars game Old Republic has been in works for a while now, and I was kind of interested in that, and wondering […]
We saw this movie in January. I knew it was a murder mystery, and based on a book, but not much more than that going in. The movie was set in the early 70s, and the overall visuals had a lovely warm, yellowish colour, like an aged photograph. Given the narrator’s love of photography, I’m […]
