This weekend, the lovely Renee Rocco at Lyrical Press sent over the cover design for the third book in my Love from Wales series, Summer of Love, due out in December. I’d been somewhat nervously awaiting this one, just because I love the first two covers in the series so much! When I had to … Continue reading »
There’s still a little snow on the ground here in places – and a lot more back home in Wales – but with the Easter holidays upon us it’s just got to be Spring now, right? Unusually for us, we were at home for Easter this year, rather than up in Wales, because a very … Continue reading »
Or, rather, sluggishly pouring myself another cup of tea and smiling at my daffodils. But it’s March 1st, St David’s Day, and surely it has to be spring by now, right? Spring always makes me want to do things. Not clean, obviously, but other things. Start new projects, undertake new activities, make something. In this … Continue reading »
Just a quick update today, as I’m hard at work on edits/proposals/first drafts all at the same time today… It’s half term, and I have to make the most of every moment I get to work this week! Still, I wanted to update the blog with the latest dates and details for my upcoming releases… … Continue reading »
Somewhat surprisingly, this isn’t a post about a desperate assault on the drinks cabinet as I wail about how behind I am with my Christmas planning. Not that I’m not behind with it. I am. Woefully. I just, for the first year ever, don’t care. I’m having far too much fun enjoying the festive atmosphere … Continue reading »
I had the best time at the Festival of Romance this weekend. Sadly, I managed to take no photos at all, which means you’ll just have to take my word for all the fun people I met, and the great chats we had. I hate to name drop (actually, clearly I don’t) but it was … Continue reading »

The Festival of Romance, held this year in Bedford, celebrates everything wonderful about romantic fiction. I’m one of over 40 authors taking part, and most will be doing readings and events at various … Continue reading »
We’re definitely in the grip of Autumn over here, and loving every minute of it. We spent October half term deep in the depths of Sherwood Forest with 22 of our nearest and dearest, where I got to: indulge my inner Maid Marion by picking up a crossbow (and being great at it, thank you), … Continue reading »
One of my favourite summer traditions in my family is Portmeirion Sunday. Portmeirion, for those not in the know, is an incongruous Italianate village in the depths of North Wales, created by Clough Williams-Ellis for reasons I’ve never fully understood. And really, it doesn’t matter why, because it looks like this: It was the setting … Continue reading »
A confession. I didn’t get to try any of these. Neither did the husband. But the daughter and her grandparents were very enthusiastic about them… The daughter has been to the seaside with her Nain and Pops this last week, since we came home on Monday, and these are the cakes I made for them to enjoy while … Continue reading »
