Happy International Women’s Day
It’s International Women’s Day and to celebrate, I thought I’d share some of my absolutely favourite women in literature. It’s no secret to anyone who knows me that I love strong female characters, and given any chance I will talk your ear off the subject. So, in no particular order, here are some of myContinue reading “Happy International Women’s Day”
January and February Wrap Up
Somehow, we’ve arrived in March and I’m still not quite sure how we got here… but since we are here, I thought I’d do a little wrap up of what writerly things I’ve done so far this year, and hopefully I can turn this into a monthly feature. I know that sometimes I tend toContinue reading “January and February Wrap Up”

Plagiarism, Ghostwriting and Reader Demand.
As I’m sure many of you will now be aware, at the start of this week a story broke across Twitter that a bestselling romance author had been actively plagiarising the work of other romance authors, and passing it off as their own.

Valentine’s Flash Fic: A Jealous Kiss
Happy Valentine’s Day! To celebrate here’s a little flash fiction story, themed around the idea of ‘A Jealous Kiss’. I actually wrote this last year as a piece of fanfiction and I loved it so much, that I couldn’t resist tweaking it and sharing it with you! “Hey there handsome, can I get you anything special?” It’s the weekend of valentine’s day, and theContinue reading “Valentine’s Flash Fic: A Jealous Kiss”
The Learning Curve of the First Draft
Terry Pratchett always said “the first draft is just you telling yourself the story”. I’ve been thinking about this quote a lot recently, especially as I’ve just reached the end of my first draft, and I’ve been comparing how I thought it was going to be vs how it’s actually been. I thought that writingContinue reading “The Learning Curve of the First Draft”
New Year, New Goals?
Happy New Year! However you celebrated, I hope you had a good one. I spent it on the sofa, watching movies, eating food and then watching the London fireworks on TV – it was absolute bliss. Today I’m not planning on doing much except enjoying my last day of holiday freedom… which means I reallyContinue reading “New Year, New Goals?”
The First One
They always say beginnings are the hardest thing to write – and given that it’s taken me two days to write this, I’d say that it’s true. So, without further ado… Hi! I’m Charlie – I’m a romance author who writes gay erotic stories with a little angst, heaps of fluff, plenty of yummy sexyContinue reading “The First One”
