Right then, here we go! Eight Acts is out today!
I finished writing Taking Stock last summer and immediately wanted to find out more about how Percy and Adrian, who are secondary characters with quite large parts, got together. This is the result. It’s only a little novella, but I hope you enjoy it!
Eight Acts
London in 1967 is swinging. It’s the summer of love and consensual gay sex in private has just been decriminalized. Percy and Adrian meet through friends and over the summer their relationship deepens and grows. What will happen in September when it’s time for Percy to go back to his every-day life as a boarding school teacher?
A 20k word stand-alone novella with cross-over characters from Taking Stock.
I’ve been bobbing around the internet with guest posts to talk about the story. You can read a bit more about the history of the criminalisation and decriminalisation in this blog post I wrote for my friend Nell Iris and I have more info and some references about the time period here, on my own website. I spoke to Ofelia Grand about how difficult writing guest posts is and Dani at LoveBytes has an exclusive excerpt. Finally there’s a ramble on the JMS blog about how the title came about.
