    Thursday Teaser!

    Oh my, it’s only a few weeks now until Write Your Own Script is published! So I thought it might be fun to share a little snippet with you from chapter one, just to whet your appetite…   God, I’m so tired. She knew it was all self-inflicted, but she couldn’t seem to stop the…

    Hootenanny! And other news…

    Well, hello. Yes, I know, it’s been a while. In my defence, there’s been rather a lot going on… As you may know from stuff I’ve shared on social media, earlier this year my company decided to make me redundant – a decision, I hasten to point out, that I was more than happy with!…

  • I’ve been CONned!

    I’ve been CONned!

    I have the blues. The post-CON blues, in fact. I’ve recently returned from the inaugural ELLCon in Bristol, UK. Once again, after immersing myself in nothing but talking about writing with other authors and fantastic readers, as soon as I got home my energy dipped and I spent the remainder of the weekend slouched on my…

  • Endings becoming beginnings

    Endings becoming beginnings

    I have a very good friend whose life motto is “Everything happens for a reason”.

    Wipping things into shape

    Well, it’s been a while since I blogged but we can blame illness and NaNo for that. I am now back in the saddle, so to speak, and just wanted to update you on all the latest happenings.  November saw me taking part in the DIVA Magazine inaugural Literary Festival, at the Hilton NEC in…

    Free Short Stories!

      I’ve got some exciting news to share and it’s all about freebies – and we all love freebies, right? I’ve just published a free short story here on my website – this is something new I’m playing with, intending to publish three or four free stories a year. The stories will be sexy, romantic, sweet,…

  • Silence is golden

    Silence is golden

    I’ve seen a couple of social media posts recently by fellow authors in which they’ve shared their latest playlists, the music they absolutely must listen to while they write. I am in awe of these people. I am incapable of listening to music when I am in writing mode. Even if it’s only instrumental, like…
