Daisy James is a Yorkshire girl transplanted to the north east of England. She loves writing stories with strong heroines and swift-flowing plotlines. When not scribbling away in her peppermint-and-green summerhouse (garden shed), she spends her time sifting flour and sprinkling sugar and edible glitter. Her husband and young son were willing samplers of her baking creations which were triple-tested for her debut novel, The Runaway Bridesmaid. She loves gossiping with friends over a glass of...

1. Why did you want to become a writer?

Writer Wednesday: Angela Marsons

Angela Marsons lives in the Black Country with her partner, their bouncy Labrador and a swearing parrot.

She first discovered her love of writing at Junior School when actual lessons came second to watching other people and quietly making up her own stories about them. Her report card invariably read "Angela would do well if she minded her own business as well as she minds other people's".

After years of writing relationship based stories (My Name Is and The Middle Child) Angela turned to Crime...

The month that was: July 2016

What happened:
I am being really low-key at the moment as I am saving my pennies for my upcoming holiday to Florida, though I did pick up some awesome bargains in the H&M sale and spent my ASOS A-LIST vouchers on some holiday bits and bobs. I especially love this jumpsuit from H&M - I have a feeling I'll be wearing it a lot!

Speaking of the holiday, we headed to Kent to plan what we're doing with Olly's sister and husband, though they are now not going so we need to replan our holi...

1. Why did you want to become a writer?

Writer Wednesday: Mary-Jane Riley

Mary-Jane wrote her first story on her newly acquired blue Petite typewriter. She was eight. It was about a gang of children who had adventures on mysterious islands, but she soon realised Enid Blyton had cornered that particular market. So she wrote about the Wild West instead. When she grew up she had to earn a living, and became a BBC radio talk show presenter and journalist. She has covered many life-affirming stories, but also some of the darkest events of the past two decades.

1. Why did you want to become a writer?
I’ve always been an avid reader, and when I was younger I was forever scribbling stories and poems. Somewhere along the way I lost that and it wasn’t until I became disabled in my 30’s I bega...
