Getting Organised


With the best will in the world I’m not the most organised person. I get by on a method of memory (which is crap btw), a prominent white board (for family stuff), and flying by the seat of my pants. Sometimes it is days before I realise that I haven’t done a blog post on one of my own new releases!
I’ve tried buying myself diaries of all manner and description from the bog standard to a Dodo Pad but I just forget to fill them in or, if I get that far, then I forget to check them every day!

"Lillian Francis’ When Love Flue In was a lovely tale built on not only mutual attraction but mutual affection."


"Ms. Francis allowed for character development and led us in a journey of self-discovery and sensuality."


"When Love Flue In should be added to any collection of gentle lovers and Christmas cheer. This short read will not d...

November plans and a notification

In an endeavour to be more visible I've decided to do a post toward the beginning of the month (yes I know we're already a week in but I only decided to so this two days ago) laying out my objectives for the month.

As many of you know, I'm a snail pace slow writer (made even slower at the moment by the fact that I'm trying to cram Arrow Season 2 before Season 3 gets too far ahead and I get spoiled) so many of these posts will just read

I suck

I suck at a fundamental part of being an author in the 21st century. Honestly, I do.

I totally suck at social media.

My blog has the most famous attribute of a London bus--you wait forever for a post and then three come along at once.
I tweet sporadically.
And I wouldn't touch facebook with somebody else's rusty pole.

Why, when I am obviously so eloquent *rolls eyes* do I find keeping up with social media such a challenge.

Firstly, and probably the main reason, is that I have a very limited time se...

Talking of Waiting for a Spark, I found a great review here at MM Good Book Reviews. I know certain author's would find a 3.5 heart rating an insult but it's all about t...

When Love Flue In

You may remember earlier in the year I announced that When Love Flue In had found a new home at Totally Bound. It had seemed months away at the time but now Christmas is coming up fast and the first of the important dates are upon us.

From today When Love Flue In is available to preorder over at the Totally Bound website and it will be available for early download from 7th November.

Sexy Snax, indeed.

Time for a cover reveal.
