Spin Like The Spider

This morning, as I wandered home from school drop-off, a scene came into my head. ‘A-ha!’ I thought. ‘Here we go.’ The scene is for book three of my Ambeth series, Hills and Valleys. It came to me complete, and was just the scene I was looking for. Hills and Valleys is already written, asContinue reading “Spin Like The Spider”

Some Blogging Awards

I’ve recently been nominated for two blogging awards: The Sunshine Blogging Award, courtesy of Melissa at NolanWrites, and The Creative Blogger Award, courtesy of Sue Vincent at The Daily Echo. Thank you both so much for the nominations! It’s always a pleasure to be nominated 🙂 I hope you don’t mind me combining both awardsContinue reading “Some Blogging Awards”

Breathing Out

I’ve been in a bit of a blog lull this week. This usually happens to me after I’ve finished a big writing project – it’s as though my mind needs a few days to rest before it can get back to the business of working with words again. I think it’s entirely natural, really. YouContinue reading “Breathing Out”

The BASH is BACK! The Second Annual #BloggersBash 2016

Originally posted on Sacha Black:
After the stonking success of the first Bloggers Bash, the committee crawled under their respective duvets and hid having exhausted their supplies of extroversion.

I had the pleasure of meeting Geoff at the Blogger’s Bash in August (when his beard was pink and he went by the name ‘Geoffle’ for the day – I’m sure he was thrilled when I told himContinue reading “Guest Post – Geoff LePard – Tracing Your Ancestry”

Published! No Quarter

Yay! I’ve made it through the formatting maze and have (deep breath), hit the ‘Publish’ button on both Kindle and Createspace, which means that No Quarter is now available on Amazon! Amazon.co.uk    Amazon.com    Amazon.com.au ‘Alma, even I do not know what he is capable of…’ Things couldn’t be better for Alma. She’s returned theContinue reading “Published! No Quarter”

Bits and Pieces

I’ve been a little bit absent from the blogosphere this week – mainly because I’ve been working on the final edit for No Quarter, the second book in my Ambeth series. This is the part of writing I like the least. (though I still know how fortunate I am to be able to do thisContinue reading “Bits and Pieces”
