In just over a month the second book in my Love From Wales series is released, and it occurs to me I haven’t talked very much about it yet. So, what’s it about? Well… Everyone’s talking about Mia Page. Again. Mia Page has been the subject of gossip in Aberarian for half her life, ever … Continue reading »

The Avalon Inn Visiting Book
The Avalon Inn has a visitors book, of course, full of people commenting on the food, and the hills, and the gardens, and the rain. But this post isn’t that. This post is the Avalon Inn Visiting Book – places the Avalon Inn and I have been featured since the release of Room for Love earlier this month, in … Continue reading »

What I’ve Been Reading – and Why
In the last week, I’ve read one YA paranormal, one standalone contemporary romance, one historical romance, one book on tarot and a book about how villages have evolved, grown and developed in Britain. Quite aside from the fact that this is more than I have read in months (thanks in part to the suggestions on … Continue reading »
