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 »
Happy Bookiversary to me! On this day, last year, my first novel, Room for Love, was officially released. I was, due to a slight scheduling error, stuck up a castle in Derbyshire at the time, trying to manage release promos and blog tours via the non-existant 3G connection on my phone, and squealing every time … Continue reading »
Or: Why My Friends & Family Are The Best Ever This weekend, I turned 33. I’m a big believer in making the most of birthdays, as anyone who has had to listen to me going on and on about this one will testify. I know some people prefer to ignore them, or at least ignore … Continue reading »

Still, I wanted to update the blog with the latest dates and details for my upcoming releases… … Continue reading »

With less than a month now until Christmas, I have finally come to the realisation that I have to actually do things to be ready for that.

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.
