Wednesday's Wicked Excerpt – Blowing It Off

I've shared a little of this with you before, but allow me to introduce you to William Bradley and Damon Hunt, two of the States best arson investigators…and two very hot Aussie blokes. **** "Head's up, Tiny, we've got a job." William Bradley spun on his desk stool to glare at the tall man crossing [...]

Friday's Colin Firth – the 30 Rock Edition

I want to run my fingers through his hair.   This week trivia – did you know Colin is also a writer?? No, neither did I, until I found this little fact out. Colin wrote a short story titled "The Department of Nothing", that was published in Nick Hornby's "Speaking With the Angel" collection. A writer….*sigh* [...]

Playlist Time

I'm working on a very romantic tale at the moment about a character you'll meet in my next Samhain release, Tropical Sin. Nick Blackthorne is the world's biggest rock star and his story, interestingly enough, is turning out to be the most romantic I've ever written. But what I find even more interesting is the [...]

Tuesday's Teasing Snippet – Twister

This is a snippet from one of my current WIPs, Twister, my second contribution to the Party Games series I'm writing with Rhian Cahill (I'm working on two different mss at the moment – can you say ADHD?) and I've sharing it with you in its utterly unedited form – that means I haven't read [...]

Which Superhero Would You Do?

So, I'm thinking of writing a superhero tale; a novella-length romp with lots of laugh, lots of sex and lots of action (I even have a name for my hero and an alias, but for now I'm going to keep that underwraps). But what really got me thinking of the above question was not my [...]

Friday's Colin Firth (now with weekly CF trivia!)

*sigh* Facial-hair-Colin time. Sorry to all you non-facial-hair fans And a little bit of Colin trivia…according to the man himself, when he was first offered the role of Darcy in Pride and Prejudice, his brother incredulously remarked, "Darcy? But isn't he supposed to be sexy?" This week's clip? THE best ending to a romantic comedy [...]

The Inaugural Gloucester Writers Festival is Australia's newest writers event, a weekend dedicated to the love of books to be held in the Gloucester Recreation Centre this weekend (30th April and 1st May with a 'Booklovers Barbecue" on [...]

Monday's Movie Trailer – The Perfect Host

I knew all that pent-up frustration would eventually be Niles Crane's downfall

Can The Villain Really Be The Hero?

This is a blog post I wrote for the brilliant Selena Illyria a while ago. Selena ran a week of guest blog posts from other brilliant authors on the concept of heroes, villains and everything between. This was mine. Of late, I've been a little obsessed with Megamind. Now here's the thing about Megamind – he's [...]

Hey, I won an AWARD!

Well, the cover for The Sun Sword did, which pretty much means the awesomely talented cover artist Kanaxa won the award but I'm going to ride her coattails of success, okay? Last week The Sun Sword was voted FAVOURTE PRINT BOOK COVER by the Samhain Cafe members. I am utterly unashamed to say I agree [...]
