Monday's Movie Trailer – The Lorax

Mainly because, for the last week the Demon Princess has been draggin a pair of her big sister's school tights out the cupboard and calling them Thneeds and asking when the Once-ler is coming back because she wants a refund. The Demon Princess has a slightly cracked sense of [...]

Six Sentence Sunday – Dare Me
For #sixsentencesunday this week I thought I'd share, well six sentences from Dare Me. Dare Me is the story of Rob Thorton, the sardonic dare-devil from Triple Dare, and the very proper English doctor who sends his world–and plans–reeling. Enjoy. *** Tell him, Emily. She stared at him, her heart in her throat. "Robert…" "Ah, [...]

Seven Ridiculous Questions with Mari Carr
New York Times Bestselling author, Mari Carr is my friend. Which means I'm allowed to ask her about having sex with Professor Dumbledore, right? 1/ When was the last time you went skinny dipping?

Wednesday WIP – Twister
This is a looong way off, and utterly unedited, but here's the opening scene from Twister, the next book from me in the Party Games series. I'd love to know what you think… *** The engine throbbed between Lachlan McDermott's legs—low and powerful and animalistic. He gunned the accelerator, propelling the Ducati Diavel down the [...]

Monday's Movie Trailer – Brave
I've written red-headed heroines (McKenzie, Darci, Phoebe and Sera are all red-heads) but I know for a fact I've never written one as brilliant as this one. Pixar's characters are amazing. This trailer…amazing. Enjoy. So, thoughts? Pixar's best to come? Better than Wall-E (my fav Pixar film), not as good as Toy Story 3? Not [...]

Fabulous Five Friday – Sexy Older Men
Whether it's because I'm getting on in the years myself, or whether it's because I've always had a thing for older men (while my friends at school were lusting over a young Tom Cruise and Matt Dillion, I was lusting over Harrison Ford), this list could go on and on. But I'm restricting myself to [...]
