It's the last few days of #RomanceAwarenessMonth and on day 28, I would like to give a shout out to Courtney Milan and her #BrothersSinister series. I don't read #HistoricalRomance on a regular basis, but this series was compelling and drew me in. The final novella, "Talk Sweetly to Me" is one of my favourite short stories. Ms Milan explores the diversity of the era, and backs it up with research.

I hope to read Lorraine Heath and Mimi Matthews next.

Caomh: Well, it's obvious, isn't it? ::throws Maius a brilliant smile:: The most important question in life is: How many days till you come to Traiana and I'll see you again. - Wait, why are you making such a face? Are you... Ahhh, my Roman, come here. ::kisses Maius gently::

Maius walks over to him and hugs him tightly: Don't look like that. It's all in the past. ::presses a kiss into his hair::

Caomh, slightly muffled: See? I told you: You're the goodest person I know.

#PennedPossibilities 48 — How does your MC react to compliments?

Maius: Eh...

Caomh, points his thumb at him and grins: Like that.

Maius throws him a glance.

Caomh shrugs: What? It's true! And your face gets all hot, too.

Maius, a faint flush covering his cheeks: 🙄

Caomh: 😁

Maius: Whereas *he* gets all puffed up and preens like a young peacock.

Caomh: 🤨

Maius: 😁

Partially, anyway.

Displeased with this sudden invasion of her privacy, Mafdet pushed her hindlegs against his back - push, push, PUSH - swatted at him, and finally, when he wouldn't budge, settled down, making rumbling cat sounds that probably meant she was cussing him out.

He smiled a little. "I know. Good night, Mafdet."

Winter brought icy rain to Traiana, and bitingly cold winds whistled through the streets of the city. Indeed, the weather was so bad that some started to worry it would ruin this year's Saturnalia.

Inspired, in part, by our recent fiction episode, this month the #LesbianHistoricMotifProject podcast brings you another “Our F/Favorite Tropes" show, featuring female spies in history!

We love our adventurous, angsty spy-vs-spy historic romances, right? But if you think the main hurdle for a sapphic historical spy romance is the believability of women as spies, you should think again.

#WritingWonders 18 Aug.: Is your MC good at flirting?

Maius, with a shrug: You'll need to ask him. ::points at Caomh::

Caomh, grinning: What? Don't tell me you're doubting your own abilities, Roman.

Maius raises his brows.

Caomh, grinning more broadly: Of course, the Roman is good at flirting. After all, he's the only man I've ever kissed.

It's urban fantasy/historical romance set in Madison in 1969. It's got a little noir mystery vibe. It's got a low-angst relationship. There's no homophobia and no cliffhanger.

#PennedPossibilities 38 — If your MC could pack up and leave for a holiday/vacation today, where would they be off to?

Caomh: The Roman would want to go and see his sister.

Maius: I--

Caomh: Well, you would, wouldn't you? Your family is important to you, so of course, you'd want to go and see them.

With a smile, Maius leans over and kisses him. On a murmur: You know me too well.

Caomh, smirking: Of course, I do.

#mmRomance

Maius gives another huff, then leans over and kisses him: Satisfied now?

Caomh regards him from under half-lowered lashes and snorts: As if!

Curving a hand around Maius' neck, he draws him over for another, longer kiss.
