On not giving up on your dreams, sunny days and kiddie slides!
A week of reflection ’spend more time thinking about what we have achieved, rather than dwelling on what he haven’t YET achieved…’, enjoying the sun and zipping down slides... When the sun comes out you have to enjoy it and our three-weekly trip to North Wales, to spend time with family, was an amazing day out. [...]

Can’t relax, a cover reveal and pushing jelly uphill!
My family think I’m crazy and I have to admit they could be right! It’s been a long time since I actually had a day off – I mean a day where I could laze and relax. It’s either family stuff – looking after toddlers, cleaning and ironing etc and/or work, seven days a week. [...]

Life is what you make it; work, karma, friends, luck and angels!
Last week’s post took a detour, not least because life has been hectic but I also wanted to share the love (and good karma) I was feeling. Yes, my next book is almost ready for promotion and the release date is set for July 6th, 2013. Of course no writer achieves this single-handedly, hence the [...]

Love makes the world go around – poetry to capture the moment
It’s true, that old saying ‘love makes the world go around‘ and if you are a people watcher, then every single day of your life you will be reminded about the good things in life. I’m not talking newspaper headlines, news round-up ‘doom and gloom’ but the happy, lovely things that happen every second of [...]

Work, play, new ventures … can I have a rest now please?
My mid-week to mid-week diary is a mess of notes and scribbles… yes, another frenetic week. Three days with little ones meant some LONG work days to keep everything ticking over, including three manic inboxes. I think in total I spend one full working day each week replying to emails, adding SEO to guest posts [...]

A cold shower, a barn conversion and a little sadness
Another week that flew by, leaving me wondering ‘where did it go?’ Three lovely babysitting days meant extra fun, which included a dowsing from a hose pipe; also time spent catching up after taking the day off last week to go to the LBF. I hadn’t fully caught up before the weekend was upon me [...]

The London Book Fair, The Sunshine Award and digging dirt!
Another CRAZY week for me with hardly time to draw breath, not least some thoughts about moving house… and the excitement of that thought is quite a buzz, but first: A trip to the London Book Fair meant a fab day out with friends and fellow authors Mandy Baggot and Sue Fortin. Thrilled to [...]

Famous faces, Cultural Cocktails, Pinterest… and life lessons!
How was your week? Mine was another week of mad variety… When the latest edition of the RNA Romancematters magazine came through the letterbox I settled down with my coffee… and spluttered! Standing in between the lovely Liz Fenwick and great friend Mandy Baggot, I recognised that face! It was the annual RoNA awards that [...]

Lovin’ Life – finger puppets, sheep and Downton Abbey
Well, the ‘hard’ full moon of 27 March came and went. Angry planets in opposition are never a good sign so, yes, there were a few complications but life is never straightforward, is it? Often it’s a case of lending a listening ear, adjusting the plan, or picking yourself up and dusting yourself off. A [...]
