#JurassicWorld Trailer

Social media and the general world wide web is ablaze with excitement as we recently saw the release of the first, official trailer for the new Jurassic World. Well, what do you think? Me? I loved it! Fantastic evolution from first film to this, if I’m honest. I’m not sure what Michael Crichton would have […]

A School Visit

Yes, you heard right. I visited a school earlier this week. And you know what, it was great! I received the lovely invitation from Sara, who had first seen a poster of my Here Lies Love in a shopping centre in my home town. After liking my book, Sara was quick to get in touch. I […]

Here Lies Love is now available as an Audiobook!!

  Yes! I know! An Audiobook! That’s exactly what I thought. It was narrated and produced by the very brilliant Corina Marcos. I must say that Corina has done a brilliant job at bringing Abbey (the main protagonist) alive. She’s captured the innocent, yet enduring qualities so well. As soon as I heard the sample, […]

Halloween is Nearly Upon Us

Yep, that’s right. Halloween is nearly upon us – and it is celebrated worldwide, making it just as important to some people as Christmas and Easter. The meaning and ways in which the day (or rather night) are celebrated have changed throughout the many years. Children are impressionable – they have open minds that make […]

It has been released over seas already, but due for release in late October here in the UK. If you haven’t heard of this book, here […]

October Update

Hi all. It’s been a while since I last updated everyone on my goings on of late. I will be taking part in NaNoWriMo this year, where I hope to get a good chunk of The Golden Lyre written. I am about five chapters in so far, and I feel like it has been going smoothly, […]

Cover Reveal: The Prophecies by Holly Martin

It gives me great pleasure in taking part in the cover reveal for my friend Holly Martin’s second book in her series. If you have read Here Lies Love, then you’ll know there is a promo pic and blurb of The Sentinel the first book. Having amassed a whopping 36 5* star reviews over on Goodreads, it […]
