As a special treat to make up for losing an hour to British Summer Time yesterday, I got to see the new cover for An A to Z of Love. Isn’t it pretty? Lyrical Press have done an amazing job on my covers, and I’m so grateful. What I love most about the covers for … Continue reading »
This round of ROW80 has been a bit of a windy road for me. On the one hand, fantastic news and a writing contract in hand. On the other, the realisation that there are actually only 24 hours in the day, and I can’t do everything I want to, no matter how hard I try. Continue reading »
I’ve been very neglectful here recently, at blogging, at checking in for ROW80 and, I’ll admit, at writing, too. Yesterday was the summer solstice; the nights are now officially drawing in.

I know, I know. Where the hell have I been? Many apologies.

I just finished some pretty intensive revisions on a manuscript, and promptly took to my bed for most of the next week, wheezing and spluttering like an eighteenth century consumptive. I’m still not 100%, but I’m ready to get back to work – even if my mind … Continue reading »
As I mentioned in my last post, I’m currently revising a novel for an agent who requested a revise and resubmit. And, being the organised (my husband might say obsessive…) person that I am, I have a schedule and a plan for the revision, carefully mapped out, tracked and adhered to. And it’s kicking my … Continue reading »
I was going to start this blog with the usual introductory post, but to be honest, my life’s not that interesting. At least, not compared to my writing. So instead, I’m jumping right in where I am now - revision hell. Here’s the scenario: Continue reading »
