Taking Charge Tour and Playlist

Hi everyone

I hope you all had a fantastic Bank Holiday weekend! Mine was a mixed bag - I did super well at Waterstones Witney out-selling 'those' books The Hunger Games and Fifty Shades of Grey and romped easily home to be the top seller of the day! However I then had to go to the hospital with my youngest daughter - she's fine, just an infection and she has some medicine. But seriously, who makes ANISEED flavour medicine for kids?! BLEURGH!!

Today on the Taking Charge blog tour I am visiting...

The party's over but the fun never stops!!


Morning everyone! I bring this blog to you together with the letters 'A' for Advil if you're in the US and 'I' for Ibuprofen if you're in the UK. Far too much beer and wine was consumed at the #TCparty yesterday for the launch of my new book Taking Charge.

Thank you so much to the team at Sapphire Star Publishing - Katie and Amy L and all my gorgeous fellow authors who tweeted and Facebooked and passed around virtual drinks! You're amazing people to be working with and I really appreciate all...

Ten days to go!

ARGH! It's only ten days until my new novel Taking Charge hits the internet shelves! And before I get lost in the excitement of all the things coming up I want to thank everyone who has helped me with all the preparations for the launch. Be it reading ARCs, agreeing to take part in the blog tour or the web splash, Tweeting or Facebooking about the new book, adding it on Goodreads, offering me space on websites and those friends letting me rant and when I've been virtually pinned underneath em...

Hot man of the week!

Now, this week's hot man is not my usual type at all, however when I was signing at Waterstones Reading Oracle, this man's image was in the window of Debenhams across the mall and he was what I stared at for five hours. He grew on me! So here he is ladies, Jenson Button!

Now, get your breath back because I have another picture to share with you! Now, the lovely new Choc-Lit author Sarah Tranter, who, like me lives in Wiltshire, asked me today if Wiltshire had a flag. We were talking about flyi...

Great Expectations!

Morning all!

Today Lady Baggot is off to her monthly WOW meeting. WOW stands for Women on Wednesday and we are a group of business women who get together once a month for networking and of course, more importantly chatting and a nice lunch! However, every month when the day comes around I am stuck with the same dilemma. What to wear!

Now I hope I'm not the only author admitting this, but most of the time when I am dressing for no more than the school run and coming home to get down and dirty wi...
