A New Home

As some of you may know, my Christmas story 'When Love Flue In' has been out of print since the demise of Silver publishing earlier in the year.

Well, I'm delighted to reveal that the story now has a new home with Totally Bound. It will be released in time for the holiday season.

Important dates:

Preorder: 24th October 2014

Early download: 7th November 2014

General release: 5th December 2014


This story will finally get its own cover.

Yay!

What do you think will/should grace the cover?

Free Read

Well, the UK Meet was a month ago and I've still not written up a report of my time there or action any of plans but I'll talk of those in another post (maybe, you know how flaky I can be in my blogging).

Today I bring you a ficlet, originally written for my little corner of the UK Meet's USB which was provided to delegates. Since many of my friends couldn't attend I decided I would share it with you here.



Since this free story was written for the UKMeet 2014, I though it only fitting to revisi...

Cleaning out my closet - an update

I hope some of you out there took part in BioB's spring clean event.

I shortlisted ten books that I'd had hanging around from when I first joined the genre. Ten books in a week was probably a little bit optimistic, but it gave me a certain degree of choice. I did try not to think too hard about which book to pick, although I purposely left Dangerous Ground as my last choice because I have the full series now and will be bumping the book up my to read list.

As it happened I didn't get as far as...

Cleaning out my closet

How many of us have a huge 'to read' pile? Some books languishing at the bottom of the pile for months, maybe even years, as new, cheaper, more hyped books come along to bury them. I'm ashamed to say that I have.

What's the solution? Read them, obviously, but how to get the drive to read something buried for so long?

Well, the girls over at Boys in our Books have the answer. (taken from their facebook page)

Writing Process Blog Tour

Thanks to Katherine Halle for tagging me in this blog tour. Check out the post about her own writing process here.I haven’t tagged anyone of my own but if you are a writer and you wish to take the baton and run with it, be my guest. I’d love a mention (and a link back to this post) on your blog if you do. Or not, the choice is yours. 

1) What am I working on?
Normally I like to just work on one project at a time; it helps me keep characters and storylines straight in my head. If I have an...
