Interview on Melissa's Eclectic Bookshelf
I've been very kindly interviewed on Melissa's Eclectic Bookshelf this week - quite an in-depth interview, largely focusing on my paranormal romance, Witchstruck.
Excerpt:
On Favourite Witchy Movies
I adore Harry Potter, so all of those movies: top favs are HP and The
Order of the Phoenix, and HP and The Half-Blood Prince. For older stuff,
Witches of Eastwick rocked, and it’s no secret that

Starting the last book in my trilogy
I spy, with my little eye, something beginning with A.
This Monday morning, I shall start to write the third book in my Lucy Morgan trilogy, which is set against the backdrop of Elizabeth I's later years on the throne.
Since book two is not yet out - it's being published in late February 2013 - I can't discuss the plot in any detail. But Lucy and Queen Elizabeth are still point of view

My beautiful grandson
You can probably tell he had baked beans for lunch ...
Today has been a very special day for me, and the rest of the family. For today I met my two year old grandson for the first time ever. I won't go into why this is the first time I've met him. Suffice it to say, he's a lovely boy and I'm hoping to see much more of him in the future.
A teensy bit camera-shy

Book Clubs
Several people have told me this week that their book clubs are reading The Queen's Secret. I'm absolutely delighted by this, as I have belonged to several book clubs myself, and I think it will fit the book club ethos very well.
Because of this development, I've put together some information for anyone considering The Queen's Secret or Witchstruck for their book club. And here it is ...

Saw That Victoria Lamb Down the Gym
A lonesome place, but fewer to witness one's puffing and ill-fitting gym outfit.
I only lasted three minutes on this fiercesome contraption. Mountain climbing, anyone?
The One-Handed iPhoto Shot Exercise. With left trainer. What, you don't know it?
It was almost too much for me at one stage. But then I remembered the Snickers bar I had for breakfast ...

Inns and Watering Holes of Tudor London
Tudor London was awash with inns and eating houses. Some were galleried and doubled up as playhouses - like the famous Cross Keys Inn, used by many theatrical companies before the dedicated theatres began to spring up - and others were shadowy establishments where drinking and gambling habitually went on and prostitutes openly plied their trade, much to the disgust of local residents and the city

I'm delighted to announce that The Queen's Secret has entered the Fiction Heatseekers' chart at The Bookseller today at number 14.
This is so exciting, I can't tell you how thrilled I am to see my debut historical there.
