I am super excited to bring you another guest this week! My lovely friend and fellow author with Loveahappyending and Sapphire Star Publishing - Nicky Wells!
Well, actually that's a lie because Nicky isn't actually able to be here today! So, instead, she's sent me the gorgeous Dan from rock band Tuscq who is the male lead in Nicky's brand new novel Sophie's Turn.
Lady B: So, today, it is my tremendous pleasure to welcome here the one and only Dan Hunter from Rock Band, Tuscq. In the extremely...

Great characters!

Sue F and moi and the all important pack shot!
As we all know, because of Waterstones change in stance on author signings, it is unlikely I will be doing very many in the future and the thing I am going to miss the most are the characters! I lo...

Sequels and series
Hi everyone
Today I want to ask you what you think about sequels and series. Do you love a second book about the same characters? Do you want more than one? I know trilogies are really popular these days! I am between books at the moment and your comments are really going to help me choose where to focus my energy! I have three possible stories to choose from:-
1. Waiting for You - beach read set on Corfu involving a gorgeous Bulgarian and an English girl who has come to the hotel where he is w...

Hot men and cargo nets!
It is a very bruised and sore Lady B that blogs for you today! Yes, on Saturday, as part of my friend Lisa's hen day (bachelorette day for my American friends) I went to Go Ape!

The End!
Wow - I've done it! I've finished my latest work in progress (well it was!) Security! Yes, today I typed those immortal words THE END at the end of the manuscript...and then I deleted them because I don't like THE END at the end of books! So, how do I feel? Well, I wept through the entire last scene while I was writing it because this is one of the emotional endings I've ever written and then I thought 'oh no, my characters are gone, I'm done with them, I will never get to write about them ag...
