Hot heroes and technology!
Hi everyone!
The school summer holidays are almost over and that means one thing - from 2 September I will be able to get back to being a writer for an uniterrupted six hours a day! As much as I love my girls the long holiday does take me away from work a bit too much for my liking and it makes me itchy!
So, what's been happening in the House of Baggot? Well, trials and tribulations with my website. Having upgraded to a new version of the builder the whole thing went wrong this morning. It's le...

Where to begin...a view of his fabulous butt is what heroine, Bryony, unwittingly stumbles over, and the rest of him is just as hot. This guy’s a world champion pro cyclist, and TBH he needs his own HANDLE WITH CARE – MAY SPONTANEOUSLY IGNITE label. He’s strong, successful and arrogant enough to drive Bry...

Charlotte sat at the bus stop wondering whether she would make the naughty or nice list this year. Last year she had rescued a stray kitten and therefore considered herself most definitely ‘nice’. This year she had broken Daniel’s heart into a million tiny pieces, so ‘naughty’ seemed to be the only a...
Baggot gets Branded!
Don't be disappointed! I'm not being poked by a red hot iron! I've been branded in a different way! Gone is the hot pink and in its place is a logo, colour scheme and swirly MB that truly reflects my writing!
I have the wonderful Ces Loftus to thank for these fab designs I totally adore! What do you think of the colour and the fonts? Have I got my tagline right?

Want the shirt off my back?
I would say Happy Tuesday but, to be honest, it's started out as a shocker!
Another one of my titles has appeared on pirate sites to download for free. Normally I shrug this off and set the wheels in motion to get it removed, BUT it's happening so often now this latest listing has just left me rage-ridden!

It takes us authors months to write a novel and when we put it on sale we hope that people buying the book will help us pay the bills. But the book market is ever-changing and at t...

She’d never needed to see him more than this moment. She clung to him, pressing her body against his and drawing in that familiar scent of sandalwood, citrus, pine. Pine? That wasn’t a sm...
