What am I admitting to?
The usual advice is, write what you know, but with erotica, there are some interesting implications. If you write about serial killers, the odds are that your friends and family will assume you made it up. They will not imagine you spending your spare time slaughtering people, for research purposes. However, if your writing has a sensual element, people can tend to assume you are writing what you know. I get frequent questions about how I do my research, and occasional offers of research assista… Continue

unspeakable titles
I may not be the only one to have done this. When I was writing the story, the title was obvious. But I didn't have my book selling head on, and had not thought about how tricky this offering might be to talk about. The title is rude enough that I'm not sure I should even post it here. But it does work on a number of levels. My brave and intrepid publisher thought it might be worth a go... curious? www.loveyoudivine.com and don't say I didn't warn you!

His and His
For some time now, www.loveyoudivine.com has had an m/m line - His and His Kisses. I've a few things published there. Recently released from this line are 'Eating Your Youth' - an erotic nightmare and love story, 'Teacher's Pet' - exploring the issues around polyamoury and illicit attraction, and 'Sweet Illusions' - a cross dressing tale.
I've also agreed to take responsibility for the line from here on in! Rather an exciting prospect (even if the technical stuff does scare me a bit). This week… Continue

Book reading
I know author book readings are popular things, but being an obscure author stuck in a small town in the UK, its going to be a long time before I'm wandering the world doing book tours. I'm not entirely convinced I'd want to anyway (it would of course be nice to be asked!). The truth is, I don't travel well,and I get lost easily - hideous combinaiton.
But I can offer you a book reading - thanks to a friend with a video camera and the wonders of youtube. It's a book trailer, only the middle sect… Continue

Are you ready?
Anyway, I hope to get the house into decent shape before Christmas, when I do my annual meal for the family. There's also that Christmas list to get together. Time is ticking away.
What about you? Are you ready for Christmas? Or do you celebrate another Holiday? If so, are you ready?
Please Welcome Mary Cunningham, Cynthia's Attic Author
One of the main reasons for writing "Cynthia's Attic" came from my failure - failure to appreciate my ancestors. Our family stories are probably no more or less interesting than most, and I went out of my way to avoid remembering most of them or asking questions about my grandparents lives.
Or did I try to find out just which relative "supposedly" sold a city block on Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles for $20,000? Guaranteed, I would not be sitting here writing a blog had that particular relative held on to the property.
Then there's the story, "Cynthia's Attic: Curse of the Bayou," of my great-great grandfather, Augustus Boilliat who disappeared in 1860 while taking a load of produce down the Mississippi River to New Orleans? Oh, sure I've read different accounts about what happened to him, but lost forever are the stories his grandson (my grandfather) could've told me about facts he'd heard from my great-great grandmother, Marie Julia, about her husband's disappearance.
I remember a few accounts told by my dad about his adventures as a teenage cave guide at one of the largest caves in the Southern Indiana area, Wyandotte, but I only have to guess at some of the adventures he must've had.
The idea for Cynthia's Attic: The Magician's Castle came from detailed genealogy research done by my cousin, Betty. Long before the Internet, she traveled to Switzerland to search for documents that would tie our great-grandmother, Harriet Kistler, to Peter Kistler the First, President of the Republic of Bern, 1470-1480. I've tried to honor the Kistler family in the fourth adventure in Cynthia's Attic.
Thanks, Morgan, for having me as a guest!
Mary Cunningham
She is also co-writer of the humor-filled, women's lifestyle book, "Women Only Over Fifty (WOOF)," along with published stories, "Ghost Light" and "Christmas Daisy," A Cynthia's Attic short story.
To celebrate the release of "The Magician's Castle," (Quake/Echelon Press, DEC 1, 2009), a winner will be chosen on each blog stop to receive a copy of the "Cynthia's Attic" short story, "Christmas With Daisy!" So, be sure to make a comment!

Check out the Mystery of the Missing Checks

Can We Talk?
I'm firming up some dates for speaking engagements in 2010. One's tentatively set for March 28, at 1:30 at the Niles Public Library, another probably in mid May at the Schaumburg Township District Library.Also, coming up is a radio interview at WJJQ again on May 7, at 9:35 a.m. before my booksigning May 8 at Cover to Cover Books in Tomahawk, WI.
I've heard that some people are more afraid of public speaking than of dying. Surprisingly, I find it easier each time I do it. As long as I have my cheat sheet with me to glance down at once in a while for security and I like what I'm talking about, I'm okay.
What about you? Do you like to talk or would you rather not?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
