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 »
Well, apparently the good news isn’t over for this week! I’m delighted to report that I’ve just signed a new contract with Lyrical Press to publish the third book in my Love from Wales series – Summer of Love. This book was a bit of a beast to get from my head down onto paper, … Continue reading »
So, it’s been a bit of an exciting week, here at Pembroke Cottage. Firstly, and most importantly, the Daughter turned four, with all the pomp and ceremony you might expect. She’d spent weeks, possibly months, planning the details. She’d chosen the theme – Alice in Wonderland, of course – decided on the invitation design, discussed … Continue reading »

Just checking in with a quick update – I finished the first draft of my new book this week, on time, and I still love it (which is rare at this point). It needs a good, thorough revision, of course, but the bones are down and I know I can work with them. Still a … Continue reading »
This getting up early malarkey really seems to be working. Not that I’m particularly enjoying the jumping out of bed while still half asleep part, but with a cup of tea and a quiet house, I am getting an awful lot done. Line edits for An A to Z of Love are done and in … Continue reading »
One Fielding annoying phone calls from estate agents. Even though our house isn’t even on the market yet, they all seem to think that we should be spending all our time looking at prospective houses. Instead of say, writing. Or even: Two Getting the house ready to sell. Which, at the moment, means throwing stuff … Continue reading »
The daughter and I have spent the last week at my parents’ house in Wales, where things are a little manic at the moment. But in amongst all the crazy, I did manage to achieve a few things: Galley edits for Room for Love – all those last minute checks for typos and missing words. And … Continue reading »
