Out and about and running very fast
So this is a brief update*. Just had a very busy week and about to head into a very busy month. This has involved getting costumes ready for a fancy dress party where the theme was Pride and PreJEDIs (Regency, Star Wars and a few zombies for good measure). I rediscovered dressmaking. My mum trained [...]

In the meantime
Still ticking over at the moment. Not a lot to report, but pretty soon there will be. Interviews, guestposts, giveaways, and a booktrailer. Did I mention the booktrailer?

It’s quiet…
too quiet… At least, around here. So basically this is a little bit round up and a little bit apology. Last weekend I went on an extended writing weekend with writing friends. We rented a holiday cottage in Wexford and wrote and wrote and wrote. And ate sometimes. Usually junk. On the way down there [...]

And the winner is…
*drumroll* Ashley with beautiful AND treacherous: “the ocean” – I’ll send an email. Both OH and I grew up in a seaside town, in and out of boats, fishing and sailing so it really struck a chord. Such a difficult choice as there were so many wonderful answers. Thanks so much everyone!
To plan or not to plan
That is the question, to paraphrase a certain Danish Prince of questionable sanity. I’m not what you would call a plotter. (Not when it comes to writing anyway). And yet on occassion I will do it. It all depends on the story I am sitting down to write. So yes, this is a writing post. [...]

The (Not) May Day post
So right, well, due to matters beyond my control… well actually due to responsibilities which I can’t ignore and the massive headache that followed it… I didn’t manage to blog yesterday, which is annoying because I totally meant to. Because *drumroll* *taa-dah* yesterday was May Day. That would have been so much more effective [...]
