  • Phew, it’s hotter than ever isn’t it? Though I remember the heatwave that lasted all of 1976, I’d just left school and off to get a job. I was working in an office at a grain silo, but that’s another story I’ll tell sometime. I’ve now re-published my saga, as I’d mentioned Queen Alexandra’s nurses…

  • Newsletter time, from Jones writing hub. Journaling, reminded me of my journalist days. When I’d research a topic, find a market, sometimes the other way around. Then submit the idea, yes via brown A4 envelope with return postage inside, then wait. It was exciting especially when a phone call came to say. ‘We’d like to…

  • Here we are again, another month almost gone, and I’ve updated my picture. Exciting news, on Thursday 30th of the month, my pocket novel, Barbados Nights will be available to buy in Asda, Tesco’s, W.H Smiths, and all good newsagents. If you see one and have your mobile handy, would you mind doing a shelfie…

  • There was a time when you could always find a magazine that published filler items. I started off writing a letter to Woman’s Realm. We had some giant thistles in the garden.

  • There’s nowhere like Warwickshire when the bluebells appear in the woodlands. Ann and Sophie have the same thoughts on a warm sunny April afternoon. Sophie is on the hunt for fairies.

  • Me with Carol and Linda after lunch Had a great time on Saturday in Leeds meeting up with other romantic writers. Glad to meet Jan again as well. Such fun to find my Robinson Crusoe pocket novel in the goody bags, and on the table in the reception area. Now I’ve got lots of plans…

  • This is what I’m off to read in the garden under the umbrella of course. It’s still hot here in Warwickshire, but before long I’ll be taking the plane journey with Serena off to the Caribbean. Better get a cool drink to go with it. It’s in the shops today. Sophie had good news today…

  • I’m getting into this promoting lark now. So I’ve been working on my website as it’s been neglected for a while. No excuses not as I have more news to tell you, and I think there might be an option to sign up to a newsletter on the front page of the website. Still working…

  • I’m a pocket novelist for My Weekly, and proud to say another one will be published soon. It’s set in the Caribbean, will let you know as soon as it’s here. Great to see family members today, Ann and Sophie called, then our Son and his dog bounded in, and lovely to see them all.…
