Heatwave

It's official - it's a heatwave here in the UK. People from really hot countries might giggle, but yesterday we were hotter than Malta, for heavens' sake, and it's supposed to be worse today.

I have major problems concentrating when the temp soars (heck, I have problems just breathing LOL) so I've picked up a light hearted little story to keep myself going on, without the sheer grind of a novel. It's called Rock and a Hard Place and it involves a fading rock star whose manager decides to kick start his career by announcing to the world that he's gay. Lots of misunderstandings ensue, because Josh really is gay but he's managed to successfully hide the fact for years. Will Simon, the manager's choice for Josh's new boyfriend, manage to drag him out of the closet? Or will Josh self-destruct?

It's great fun to write, the only problem being that Josh and Simon want to gallop off with the plot and turn it into - you guessed - a novel. I'm having to be very firm with them. LOL
