I had a bit of a writing wobble earlier this week. I’ve just begun editing Under Stone, the fourth book in my Ambeth series. It recently returned from a professional edit, and so I was taking suggestions and beta read comments on board, polishing the final crevices and tidying up punctuation and prose, ready toContinue reading “Ironing, Oak Apples and Editing or, How I Survived A Writing Wobble”

Wishing Everyone A Happy New Year!
It’s the last day of the year and so, as is tradition, I’m taking a look back at my blogging year. Oh, I won’t be sharing stats or anything like that – rather, just revisiting some popular posts and summing up my 2016 blogging experience. For it has been an experience indeed! This year I’veContinue reading “Wishing Everyone A Happy New Year!”
30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Fifteen – Witness
It’s day fifteen, half way through the 30 Day Writing Challenge, and today’s prompt is: Witness I’d had a little flicker of an Ambeth story running through my mind and it seemed to work with this prompt, the idea of the trees as silent witnesses being quite insistent. If you’ve read the books, you mayContinue reading “30 Day Writing Challenge – Day Fifteen – Witness”
#BlogBattle – Coconut – Blast From The Past
It’s that time of week again, when bloggers across the web post their response to Rachael Ritchey’s Blog Battle. This week, the prompt is ‘coconut’, and I had grand dreams and a wisp of a story about being at the beach, with the song ‘She’s Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts’ floating around in myContinue reading “#BlogBattle – Coconut – Blast From The Past”
A Journey Through Ambeth, Part II
Almost a year ago, I wrote a post about the real landscapes that had inspired Oak and Mist, my first Ambeth book. With the release of Hills And Valleys, the third book in the series, that landscape has now expanded somewhat. So, with the past week being what it was, I thought I might takeContinue reading “A Journey Through Ambeth, Part II”
Meandering Monday Musings
The past few weeks have been quite busy, as I mentioned in a previous post, mainly because I’ve been working through the final edit and finicky formatting of my latest book, Hills and Valleys. Once that was released, my body then decided to go into meltdown with a nasty head cold, just in time forContinue reading “Meandering Monday Musings”

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. Thanks again to my brother, Rich Jones at Turning Rebellion, for the fantastic layout – I’m thrilled with the finished result and think it fits really wellContinue reading “Cover Reveal – Hills And Valleys”
#WritePhoto – A Glimpse of Ambeth
The ground began to rise beneath them, their horses’ hooves thundering as they entered the pass leading towards Etras’ stronghold, a castle set high among the crags. Pointed towers of grey stone rose above a solid keep, black flecks swirling around one of the towers. The faint shrieking of winged Watchers could be heard, growingContinue reading “#WritePhoto – A Glimpse of Ambeth”
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”
