Born in Leeds, currently living in Huddersfield, Paula Acton is many things, an author, a mother to two amazing kids, grandmother to two gorgeous little people, and a slave to a dog, and a cat. She also has two horses which she claims are cheaper and more effective than therapy.
She has a tendency to write with a dark twist but also writes the occasional romance after success in various anthologies trying out different genres.

When not writing she can frequently be found wandering around randomly with her camera or with her headphones in listening to True Crime Podcasts.

Sometimes I need to physically get up and get away from the desk, I frequently find taking the dogs out for a walk and distracting myself allows me to come back refreshed to a problem but sometimes it can be as simple as open a new blank document and write nonsense, jot down ideas for other things or even do an exercise from one of the many writing manuals on my desk. You have to find ways that work for you and don't beat yourself up if you have a bad day or two and can't write, just don't stop trying and eventually your muse will return and you never know there may be a snippet or two in the other stuff worth using later.(less)

Happy New Year!

Okay, so I am late starting the year here but I have been scurrying around in the background preparing to make this year a success.

The main thing that goes on at this point of the year in the world of readers in the setting of their GoodReads challenges for the year. Last year I set it for 52 books and missed it by half a dozen, a couple of which were paperbacks I forgot to log. This year I am
