2020 wrap up – and a festive giveaway!
Well, it’s been a year, hasn’t it?! For many reasons, like many people, I will be glad to see the back of 2020. But I’m not going to be negative in this post – I actually want to celebrate all the good things that have happened this year in terms of my publishing career. And…

In praise of audiobooks
June is, apparently, Audiobook Appreciation Month. I didn’t actually know that when I sat down to write this blog, but it’s a very happy coincidence! I’ve been a big fan of audiobooks ever since I first discovered them about three years ago, and my library has rapidly grown. I generally use my one-a-month free credit…

When reality meets fiction
Like most authors, I imagine, I often get asked how much of my books are based on real people or events. The answer depends on which book you’re talking about, and also which characters, scenes, settings, situations, and emotions. Because, of course, a lot of what I write is entirely made up by my –…

The inspiration for Dare to Love
I knew as soon as I’d finished Write Your Own Script that Carmen needed her own story. She’d played a pivotal role in Tamsyn’s life, and it was clear she wasn’t that happy with her own love life. And while her sexuality hadn’t been revealed in Write Your Own Script, in my head as I…

Cover reveal – new book out March 2020!
Hold onto your hats, people – there’s superheroes on the way! Yep, you read that right, I wrote a fun book involving superheroes. Don’t worry, there’s still some romance in there – in fact, there’s two romances – but there’s also action, adventure, and lots of laughs. It was enormous fun to write, and I…

Inspiration for The Long Shot
My latest novel, The Long Shot, is out now (see link below to buy!) and it’s a sporty one. Sports romance is not something I’ve written before, but I love to read the genre, having been a big sports fan my whole life. My parents used to joke that I learned to kick a soccer…
