White Petals Wordsearch! :-)
I have been blessed with the most lovely gift ever!
A wonderful woman and reader of White Petals has written her review of the novel, and get this – created a word search in honour of my beloved characters!
Grateful is an understatement! I absolutely LOVE it! What a treat to have someone be so kind as to actually put the time and effort into doing something like this for you. When I realised what it was, and when I sat down to do the word search with my cup of tea and a slice of carrot cake, the whole thing literally brought a tear to my eye because I appreciated it so much.
It’s always great to have positive reviews from readers – a good review will boost your mood, any day of the week. But this one was particularly lovely for me, because it came when I was having a really difficult week, and it put the biggest smile on my face when I received it! Not many people are lucky enough to have a word search in honour of their novel!
Thank you so much to Sharon Howell of Caerphilly. I want you to know that your kind gesture really does mean a lot to me, and I will love this word search forever!

WICID EXCLUSIVE: Interview with Brad Williams and Maria Grace
A couple of weeks ago, a young journalist called Brad Williams got in touch with me to ask for an interview for WICID.
Rhys Milsom – the editor of WICID – is a university friend of mine, and has told me all about the great social and creative benefits that WICID provides for our local community and young people. Being a supporter of creative incentives, I was more than happy to take part in Brad’s first exclusive interview for WICID.
I have to say that I loved the content of the questions that Brad asked during the interview! I really enjoy having an interesting conversation – particularly when it involves local issues and community caring. I get a little carried away with my rants, but my heart is in the right place!
It was so refreshing to have an interview that I could get my teeth stuck into and be able to have a chat about everyday things, not just about the book. I loved that Brad asked questions about our local community, the council, the effects of budget cuts, creative advice and my home life. It was a pleasure to work with this young journalist, and I wish him all the best for his future career in the media!
Please take some time to have a read of the full interview:
