Congrats to Yakkity who is the winner of July’s Coffee Write

August 2009 Series

Alex Beecroft is known for her m/m historical romance.  What’s less well known is that she enjoys combining genres, so you’re just as likely to read a Victorian steampunk murder mystery with elves from her pen as you are to get serious historical.

As a warm up for my new novella "The Wages of Sin" – an 18th Century m/m romance with murder mystery and ghost story, coming out in MLR Press’s anthology ‘The Mysterious’ – we’re going to try something equally mad but fun.  This month we’re going to try writing a m/m Regency murder mystery with pirates.  And if we can fit a ghost or two in there too, all the better!

Theme for this month – m/m Regency murder mystery

Main Characters – William and Andrew

This series will run from August 1 to August 27, 2009

Prize – $20 Amazon Gift Certificate

Your Author Host for this Series – Alex Beecroft
