Desert Islands and chocolate
I'm not saying that chocolate is necessarily the thing for desert islands, what with its habit of melting in the heat, and also making you quite thirsty, but there is a link here, I promise. And you can find out what it is over on Lucie Wheeler's blog, where I'm talking about evading the authorities, lime green hotpants, and margaritas. Oh, and Run Rabbit Run, too.
Pop over and see how you can

Romantic Novel of the Year
Tomorrow, I'm off to London for the RoNAs, or the Romantic Novel of the year Awards. Yes, that's right, I'm taking Eve and Harker to the fanciest of fancy hotels for a champagne reception, because The Untied Kingdom is short listed for the Contemporary RoNA. Eve will enjoy it, Harker will hate it, and I'll, well... I'll have fabulous shoes.
Wish us luck!

Run Rabbit Run trailer
After a few false starts, mostly because I hadn't a clue what I wanted to do with the trailer, I've got something I'm happy with*.
Thanks everyone who's said how much they're looking forward to the book. The paperback is out in April, but it's available right now on Kindle in the UK or in America, and should be up soon for Nook and other e-readers. It's already had a few lovely reviews, and I've

Valentine's Day
It's a bit weird really.
As a romantic novelist, V-Day is a reasonably important and obvious promotional opportunity. I ought to be celebrating it. But personally, the idea of just one day to celebrate romance, just one in all the year, sounds like a really sucky idea. A generic gift, a card with someone else's sentiments printed inside...exactly the same as everyone else gives and everyone

And the nomination goes to...
...me!
That's right, me! I'm delighted to announce that The Untied Kingdom has been shortlisted for the Romantic Novelists Association's Contemporary Romantic Novel of the Year Award!
On 5th March I shall be attending the very swanky awards ceremony where I shall pit the might of a former popstar and a man who thinks combs are for nancies against... oh my giddy aunt. Have you SEEN who else is

Vlog
No, not a typo: I'm talking about video blogging. Which is a whole new portmanteau of a word, isn't it? I'm thinking about doing a video Q&A for Run Rabbit Run, where you ask me questions about the book, the Sophie Green series, writing in general, or indeed my cats, and I'll post little videos with my response here on my blog.
What do you think of vlogging? Do you like it, hate it, have no idea

The secret diary of Spike, aged 5 3/4
It's been a season of upheaval here, even worse than it was when I was four, and the humans decided to have half the house torn down and rebuilt, which resulted in a lot of noise from the builders and even more from the Demon Puppy.
I have seen many changes in my nearly six years, such as the terrible, terrible day five years ago when the Demon Puppy was first brought home. I still haven't
