Posted by in Update I’ve been really fortunate this year with the time I’ve had available to write.

Posted by in Ylva Beyond excited about this one! This was a story I’d had in mind for over three years and all the strands finally came together in my imagination during NaNoWriMo of Nov 2017. The words flew onto the pages and after working with a great editor, we’re nearly ready to go! ‘Write Your Own Script’ is…Read more »
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!…Read more »
