Happy Haggis Eating!
It’s Burns Night! Happy haggis eating, whisky sipping and partaking of the delicacies of neeps ‘n’ tatties. It’s that time again for all Scots (and everyone else) to celebrate the birth date of our most famous son, Robert Burns. Haggis has been a national dish in Scotland for hundreds of years, so criticise it at […]

When the Writing Hits a Brick Wall
I have discovered something about myself over recent weeks. I’ve discovered I’m not a jump in and just get on with it kind of author. I don’t know why this came as such a surprise. Everything else I have ever written has been properly planned out – except for those news stories in the old […]

A New Detective
It’s day five of 2015 – the date, in my mind at least, when the New Year really starts. …It’s the day many of us return to work. …The day we all get back into a routine. …The day my bin (at last!) gets emptied. It’s also the day I start my new crime novel, […]

Summer’s Gone – Roll On Winter
Am I the only one looking forward to winter? I just love the season. The pleasure for me starts when the leaves turn to russet and that first stormy day whips them from the trees and sends them flying. The fact that they all seem to come flying into our garden and cause us a […]

Giving 10,000 Words The Chop – Ouch!!
Happy Halloween! Today I’m celebrating the loss of 10,000 words. They have been axed from a second version of my soon to be published new book, A Cornish Obsession. And it was a haunting experience! I say ‘celebrate’ because it was a huge task to undertake, and somewhat emotional getting rid of those words, phrases, […]

Today sees the launch of her updated version of her best-selling ‘Self-Printed The Sane Person’s Guide to Self-Publishing’. So when she offered to answer […]
