Writer Wednesday: Rachel Dove

Rachel Dove lives in West Yorkshire with her husband, two boys, and a cat and dog. When she is not writing horror, short stories or romantic novels, Rachel is looking after said tribe and dreaming of adding to their chaotic happiness with more bookshelves and animals. Every book sold is a step closer to her dream farmhouse in the country, complete with chickens.

Rachel used to teach adults about special educational needs and primary education, and is still passionate (and vocal) about both.

The month that was: June 2016

What I did:
I finally made it to Richmond Park, which is where I wanted to go to on my birthday... but it snowed. (Yes, at the end of April.) It was a lovely and sunny day, and it was amazing to see all the deer - they are so tame! Well, not bothered about us humans, anyway.

Olly, his dad, brother-in-law and a friend of ours did the London to Brighton bike ride, so I headed down to Brighton to meet them at the finish line. They did it in 3 1/2 hours, though they did have breaks meaning it...

The month that was: May 2016

What happened:
In May I did the cover reveals for both B-Side and Found - don't they look awesome? B-Side was published on May 17th, and went on tour for the last two weeks of the month, which has kept me busy when I've not been working on Found. (Catch up with the tour stops here and here.)

We did head to Dorset though to visit my parents, aunt and uncle, and we enjoyed a lovely walk on the beach from Highcliffe Castle to Mudeford Quay - oh, I do love to be beside the seaside! We als...

B-Side blog tour: Part II

And that's a wrap! Thank you so much to all the lovely book bloggers who took part in the B-Side (Arielle Lockley series book 2.5) blog tour, and also to everyone who bought the book, reviewed it, shared it, tweeted about it etc. I appreciate it so much. Roll on August and the Found tour! But, before that, I need to tell you what happened in the second half of the B-Side tour.

The second half of the tour kicked off with a review from A Spoonful of Happy Endings:

The next day, I shared Etta...

B-Side blog tour: Part I

The B-Side blog tour is nearly over - where has the time gone?! - so I wanted to share the first half of the tour and where it stopped, in case you missed any of them. The tour runs until May 31st, and you have until then to enter the giveaway, which includes Amazon vouchers, books and a vinyl-related prize. You can enter either at the bottom of this post or here.

The tour began with an excerpt over at Jera's Jamboree, and a 5* review from Dot Scribbles, which made for an excellent start:

I ans...

Writer Wednesday: Katy Colins

Katy Colins completed her first novel ‘A Dogs Tale’ at the age of 11 which received rave reviews … from her Grandad and English teacher. This was just the encouragement she needed to carry on writing. 

As a qualified journalist with articles published in Company Magazine and The Daily Star, Katy Colins crossed sides to work in Public Relations before selling all she owned to backpack solo around South East Asia and finally put her thoughts into words, writing as she travelled. This exper...

Writer Wednesday: Darcie Boleyn

Darcie Boleyn has a huge heart and is a real softy. She never fails to cry at books and movies, whether the ending is happy or not. Darcie is in possession of an overactive imagination that often keeps her awake at night. Her childhood dream was to become a Jedi but she hasn’t yet found suitable transport to take her to a galaxy far, far away. She also has reservations about how she’d look in a gold bikini, as she rather enjoys red wine, cheese and loves anything with ginger or cherries in it...

One death. Two weddings. Three months in New York City. 
Who knew one flight could change everything? When Arielle Lockley stepped on the plane at Heathrow, she never realised how different her life would be when she touched down in New Y...
