It's interview day with no interviewee It appears I've been a little remiss this month. Things piled on top of me, easy decisions took difficult paths, inspiration which struck vividly suddenly paled and disintegrated. And among all that, I completely forgot to fill the gap in my interview schedule. I had a cancellation a few … Continue reading Oops…

Past Me is a bit of a nightmare!
I've mentioned my diary before. It's one of those 5-year ones which has just enough space for a tweet-length analysis of my day. Sometimes I love immersing myself in the events of the previous year or the year before that. Sometimes, I can't read them, because I know those entries contain painful memories. And sometimes, … Continue reading Past Me is a bit of a nightmare!
Interview with… Cordelia Frances Biddle
It's late February and I'm feeling good! Several of my projects are all lined up: publication, editing, writing something new, revisiting.

Cordelia writes fiction and … Continue reading Interview with… Cordelia Frances Biddle
Cat and The Dreamer is 11!
Last year I did a 'Cat & The Dreamer is 10' post. Back then, I had no idea how things would change for my first published book in less than 12 months. With my rights reverted to me before Christmas, Julia and Cat's story has had a refresh - a couple of new scenes were … Continue reading Cat and The Dreamer is 11!
The story behind the story
As is the way when an author releases a new book, I've been scanning the early reviews of The Clock in My Mother's House. There are twelve on Goodreads at the moment, so it's easy to see when new ones appear - I'm not stalking reviewers or anything. Soon I'll forget all about them - … Continue reading The story behind the story

Last week's book launch and blog tour excitement has settled into a calmer pace, so it's time to get my next project moving along and my regular social media and blog posting back to normal (and oh, wow, has social media diminished!. For this month's interview is with my hugely supportive critique partner Nick Wilford, … Continue reading Interview with… Nick Wilford

On my travels again…
Today I'm popping to Texas to visit Joanne Faries on her blog and share some of the inspiration for The Clock in My Mother's House. Come and see what I've got to say! Short stories are perfect for travelling and commuting. Where's your favourite place to read short stories? I like to have them to … Continue reading On my travels again…
It’s interview time!
When I decided my dream was to be an author (back when I was 7 or 8), the two big interviewers of the day were Terry Wogan and Michael Parkinson, and I'd go to sleep at night dreaming about being interviewed on their shows. Sadly, that never came to pass, but I still love being … Continue reading It’s interview time!
Launch Day! 🥳
It's launch day, and I'm celebrating with a pineapple. Well, not entirely, although I do have some pineapple rings in the fridge which probably need eating so... Photo by Pineapple Supply Co. on Pexels.com It's also the next stop on my blog tour, and today I'm sharing some not necessarily interesting facts about my book … Continue reading Launch Day! 🥳
