The Kittens Have Landed!
Mum licks kitten clean soon after birth.
Bo, our very beautiful cat, has finally had her first litter of kittens after an elephantine pregnancy. She only produced two kittens in the end, perhaps because she is still quite a young cat, but both kittens are large and healthy, and were feeding strongly within a few moments of birth.
The kittens were born, despite our best efforts to keep her in

His Dark Lady audio book
I was delighted to receive a parcel at the weekend containing this lovely audiobook version of His Dark Lady, the second novel in my Elizabethan Court trilogy about Lucy Morgan.
The audiobook is unabridged and runs for 14 hours, which should keep most people happy for days, and is read very beautifully by the talented Carole Boyd.
His Dark Lady, the audiobook, is available on Amazon now.

If you're a Goodreads member, and looking forward to the publication of my paranormal romance Witchfall this summer, I'd be hugely grateful if you could vote for Witchfall on this Goodreads list of new and forthcoming UK YA for 2013.
Witchfall is within the Top Ten at the moment, but to get any higher or stay there, it needs a constant stream of votes.

The Birth of William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was probably born around this day in 1564. As we only have records of baptisms from that time, not birth certificates, we cannot pinpoint the exact day of his birth.
Since baby Will was baptised in the small Warwickshire town of Stratford upon Avon on April 26th 1564, it's fair to assume he would have been born a few days earlier. Most babies were baptised as soon as

Autism Awareness Month
April is Autism Awareness Month, and I want to celebrate my wonderful twin sons, who both have autism.
My twin boys are ten years old now, and are marvellous people. They are polite and friendly, they love books and computer games, they help out around the house - with a little push from Mum, ahem - and sometimes they even think about keeping their bedroom tidy. Though the actual tidying doesn't

Was Shakespeare A Love-Rat?
Was Shakespeare a 'love-rat' or just an over-imaginative poet?
My new historical novel, His Dark Lady, is set at the court of Elizabeth I, and amongst other storylines traces the relationship between William Shakespeare and his "Dark Lady of the Sonnets". In my account, Lucy Morgan takes on that role, a young African singer and court lady. Her character was introduced in The Queen's Secret,
