Posted by in Ylva 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…Read more »
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 »

Posted by in Personal Remember in my last blog how I was juggling all the different deadlines around editing and writing? So here’s a question – what do you do when all of that has passed and you have a strange thing on your hands called…free time. Like, what the heck is that?!

Posted by in Personal I realised an amazing fact a couple of days before “Dark Horse” was published: it is almost exactly 20 years to the day since I first set foot on Australian soil. Kind of fitting, then, that my personal homage to the wonderful 18 months I spent living in Australia is now in print. Now, while the book is…Read more »
Posted by in Personal I’ve just returned from Lesvos (again!), having eked out the last of the annual leave from my day job for 2016 to treat myself to six nights slap bang in the middle of the annual womens’ festival. This two-week long extravaganza, based in Skala Eressos, runs through the first two weeks of September and has…Read more »
