Polyday programme up →
It looks like Polyday 2011 will have an interesting mix of sessions including ‘amorous poly’ and ‘poly and kink’.  There will be a disco in the evening which I’m rather looking forward to.

Another great review for An Expanded Love! →
Sally Sapphire from Book Slut gives a lovely, and detailed review of An Expanded Love. “As intrigued as I was by the concept of a polyamorous drama, I wasn’t sure any author could really sell it, much less justify the concept at the heart of the story. What makes it work, and what draws the reader in, is the fact that Nadia struggles with the concept, even as she longs to embrace...

A 4 star review for An Expanded Love!
Gabriella West left me a very positive review for An Expanded Love on Smashwords A snippet of the review “This book gets four stars because of its originality and daring and because it’s a wonderful picture of alternative life in London: pubs, dances, cold flats, buses and all. I loved the way the narrator, Nadia, is so uncomfortable in her own skin at the beginning of the book...

The beautiful kind talks Poly →
I found this post really interesting.  I’ve had my times when I’ve been attracted to someone, but didn’t know how their primary partner felt about me making a move…  I’ve made assumptions in the past, which have swiftly bitten me on the backside.  I learned my lesson: ASSUME NOTHING!  Just because both partners are poly, doesn’t mean that I don’t have to talk to the one I’m not attracted to,...

Sam's waffles
Hello, all.  It’s Sam here.  Jacqueline’s been a little slack with this blog lately.  So I’m taking it upon myself to treat you good people with one of my favourite dishes like.  Nadia, the heroine of An Expanded Love, devoured these waffles when I made it for her.  Now I can hear you all saying, Sam, you’re a fictional character.  You never made these waffles did you?  Well folks, this may...

Poly weekenders
First up: OpenCon which is happening in October 2011 in the U.K.  From the people who organise Polyday which I’ve enjoyed in the past.  I haven’t been to OpenCon, but I heard some good things about last year’s event. And for those of you on the other side of the Atlantic, I saw a link for this on Tristan Taormino’s great site. The World Polyamory Association conference is...

The introduction I never wrote for An Expanded...
Introduction Imagine a world where nobody cheats on their partners, where nobody has to hide their lovers.  Imagine loving multiple people, and being happy when your partner finds someone new.  Welcome to Polyamory.  When I started writing An Expanded Love, I was in the process of breaking up with one of my girlfriends.  I was also facing surgery, and a long and difficult winter. Being...

Excerpt: An Expanded Love
Time swept forward.  My life before with Jason crept into my memory.  He hadn’t been a bad man, but his controlling nature was something I hated; being questioned whenever I came home was never pleasant, but then neither was losing friends because he’d made it difficult for them to be close to me.   I was supposed to be his lady; someone who shouldn’t need anything else but what...

Books that influenced An Expanded Love
I could not have written An Expanded Love without two books that I read once I started to be actively polyamorous.  Both books are available on Amazon.  This was the first book on polyamory that I had ever read.  It has a very strong U.S focus that made it strange to read in places, but there was enough in it to positively affect me.  I liked the section on how different groups approach...
