  • Hello everyone, hope your June is going well so far. I had my monthly writing magazine through the letterbox a few days ago, and I’m in there.

  • I’ll keep it simple… if you’d like a free signed copy of my latest book all you have to do is leave a comment. Why you’d like it would be a good thing to know. My mum has her copy and can’t wait to read it, and my favourite aunties have theirs lined up as…

  • Here’s what’s coming soon, and there will be a giveaway on the blog, so watch out for that. Looking forward to the RNA conference in July, and meeting up with other pocket novelists and romatic authors. I’m busy writing my next story, which hopefully should be finished before long. I’m on chapter 10 of 15,…
