Doing a happy jig in the ladies’ cloakroom in Starbucks on the M4!

If you don’t know the movie, it’s the moment when, at long last, two of the characters find themselves alone together. It’s a pivotal – and exciting – moment. He stands at the door: Karl: Goodnight.

Negativity only exists if you embrace it!
As a writer I spend untold hours in the company of characters whose lives unfold with every word I write.

Working SMARTER and not HARDER requires change
A close second to the pursuit of love (and who doesn’t want a soul mate?), must surely be attaining inner peace and happiness. That’s not easy in the manic world in which we live where the craziness of email, mobiles, and social media mean we are often expected to be available 24/7. Last year I […]

The End is simply the start of a new beginning …
As soon as I’d written ‘The End’ to the third novella in my Harper Impulse series Angels Among Us (Falling, Forbidden and Forever), I knew it wasn’t quite the end. Well, I suppose that was obvious as I’d already come up with two endings for Forever. But that’s the way it is when you are […]

It’s Christmas in August – ‘Perfect’!
It’s Christmas in August! I’m thrilled to be taking part in the Christmas by the Fire Blog Hop, organised by the amazing Lori Connelly. A group of Harper Impulse authors are each writing a Christmas story based around one starting paragraph. After launching an exciting competition, Harper Impulse chose Georgia Beyers’ opening paragraph. Here is […]
