Andrew Q. Gordon

Welcome Susan, it’s been a while since you last visited {Read it here} so start by telling everyone what you’ve been up to the last year. *Sighs* I’ve been writing, doing tons of reading and just getting to grips with my publishing schedule. Unfortunately I also lost my day job in August last year so finding a new one has been a bit of a priority. The bright side of this is that I’ve had time at home to get all my WIP’s finished ahead of schedule. I’ve also been fortunate enough to get to meet some fans face to face and get involved with the Chipping Norton Literary Festival as a volunteer. Oh and possibly volunteering at the World Pole …

We’re almost to the point where ‘lil q is hip to all the holidays.  Despite mentioning it several time that the Easter Bunny was coming today, he needed a bit of prompting to remember.  But once she did, she was all into it. So after getting up we put on our bunny ears (that didn’t even make it down the stairs before they fell off) and down to look for our basket, then breakfast. (Yes, I let her have chocolate before we ate, I’m not a total ogre. ) Grandma sent her a basket of goodies that we opened and no shock this was her favorite. We’re off to here other grandma’s today, so more pictures tomorrow.

I should be writing – I’ve got some quiet time after all – but instead I’m going over pictures.  And since technically the captions count as writing, I figured I’d do this instead this morning. 🙂 Okay – I might have over done it, but I had a lot of good stuff to work with.

What’s your approach to writing sex?  WSL: The sex scenes should propel the story, involve …

Today’s guest is another of my flasher friends. . . err. . . I mean another friend I met through the Wednesday Briefs Flash Fiction Group. Elyzabeth is stopping by to talk about Naughty Fairy tales and what inspires her to write them  After that she shares an excerpt from her latest naughty fairy tale – Blind Beauty. Blind Beauty (Witches’ Mischief Series 2) Promo Packet 1 Thank you for having me! I’ve been asked several times to explain my inspiration for Blind Beauty. How does a fairy tale become something naughty? How did Blind Beauty become the second book in a series? Well, there were several factors involved.

Writing affords me the chance to meet many new people. Some I really meet in person, some I really meet on line. Raine O’Tierney falls into the ‘I’ve really met her, just not in person – yet’ category. Raine and I both belong to the Wednesday Briefs Flash Fiction group – sorry Raine, I needed to do a shout out – and we’ve have the chance to get to know one another over the last year or so. But, oh the things you learn when you ask. 😛 Please don’t forget to enter the Sweet Giordan, Please Remember giveaway at the end of the interview. Welcome, why don’t you start by telling everyone a bit about yourself? Hello, my name is …

One of the best things about being an author are the friends I’ve made. None are more dear to me than Anyta. During her time in the USA, she and her family spent that most American of holidays – the Fourth of July – visiting Mike and I. (And the second time with ‘lil q too.) So welcoming her to my blog is like welcoming home an old friend.  But more than that, she’s a wonderfully talented author who’s newest book – Liam Davis and the Raven was just release last week. So take a read and learn about what she liked about her time in Pittsburgh. The top 5 best things about my time in Pittsburgh . . .

So DC had another snow day – at least the last few have been legit – we got about 8 inches of snow over night and it snowed up until about 2 pm on and off. But it’s stunning that it went from 60+ to snowing in less than 36 hours.  Here’s a shot from Saturday that grandma took. Snow days sure ain’t what they used to be when we were childless. Trying to find ways to entertain ‘lil q is getting harder as she gets older. She’s in that in between window where we can’t just let her play by herself just yet. We’re getting closer, but we’re not there yet.
