Marching on …
Always lovely to receive an update from NRP’s writer mate Jan Brigden. We are all eagerly awaiting the arrival of #2 some time this spring.

It’s been a busy couple of months. In early January my lovely publisher Choc Lit offered me a contract for my second book (title tbc). It’s the sequel to As Weekends Go,...

Narberth Book Fair 2019
A great weekend, full of fun. Met many of my Facebook and Twitter friends and sold books. Result.
Last year I learned via Jessie Cahalin that a book fair had been held at Narberth, Wales and I was keen to take part this year. One of the great things about having a caravan is that you can rock up, book into a site for a couple of nights and enjoy all the comforts of home.

However, fear not, there is a Scottish connection as the hero – Logan MacFarlane and the heroine India-Jane Buchanan are of Scots descent – natch. You can read about it here.Within a few weeks it reached #1 in its genre –
