Cover Reveal – Hills And Valleys
Here it is! The cover for my third Ambeth book, Hills and Valleys, is complete and ready to upload, but first I thought I’d share it with you.

Tea, Updates and Vampire Stories
I know there’s a weekly thing where bloggers catch up as though having coffee, a conversational get-together with updates from the past week. I’m more of a tea drinker, myself, so, if we were having tea, this is what I’d tell you: So, this happened yesterday. Yay! I reached my 30,000 word target with SilverContinue reading “Tea, Updates and Vampire Stories”

My pre-edit basically consists of a full read through, tidying up the prose and making sure the structure works before sending it to Lucy, my editor.Continue reading “Time To Edit”
Cast Of Characters
I’ve been watching Miss Fisher’s mysteries for a little while now. I used to live in Melbourne, so it’s nice to see the familiar streets and buildings such as Rippon Lea, The Manchester Building, Como House and Melbourne Town Hall. And the fashion! If I could have anyone’s television wardrobe it would be Miss Fisher’sContinue reading “Cast Of Characters”
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”
