Blogging in a daze

It's been almost two weeks since I last posted - my regular Mondays have gone off the rails. Last time it was a Thursday, today Wednesday. However, I have reasons... I'm going to start with some sad, personal news. My lovely Dad passed away last week. The man who taught me how to make stick …

Raising money this Christmas

For anyone that awaits my Monday posts with baited breath, apologies, it's only Thursday but this post couldn't wait. Having said that, it's the weekend soon! When I was writing Grace & Serenity, I knew Grace was going to be homeless for a while, but I also planned where her story would go next. In …

Not one, not two, but 3 fantastic books!

It's time to look back over the month, but you know what? I don't want to. It's been a horrible month and I want to create as much distance between me and it as possible. All I'll say is I'm going to be a lot more careful how I use the phrase it can't get …

The first five days!

It's been an amazing week of reviews, interviews, shares, comments and - of course - a quick bottle of bubbly and a huge bouquet of flowers from my wonderful husband. I've also been stalking the Amazon and Goodreads stats - so far, not too bad - which, for the non-writers among you, is entirely natural …

I’M A NOVELIST!

I've always been a writer. Then, with the publication of my first short story, I became an author. Now I'm a novelist! I might have mentioned it... Today, I'm going to be popping up on social media, wafting around like a novelist, doing novelisty things like stalking Amazon sales lists and eating far too much …

A little bit of publicity

So, the world's not calming down any, I guess. The silent, early days of the UK lockdown have exploded into this heightened emotion spilling out. I'm not going to linger on it. It's an ongoing, expanding situation, but I'm sure one day it'll seep into my writing. And, one day, I'll feel able to write …

Supporting the Indie Presses

Follow my blog with Bloglovin Well, that was a bit embarrassing, that re-entrance! Like stumbling into a party after too many glasses of wine and shouting 'Look at me!' Except, in this case, it was my own party I was gate-crashing. The first thing I noticed - once I'd put the bottle down and turned …

I’m back!

Hello! Anyone there? I know, I know... it's been a while. How're you doing? Personally, I'm very confused about all these new WordPress features. And at the moment, it doesn't take much to confuse me. I'm in the middle of writing a new novel, I've got edits of another to figure out and - you …

Another awesome book from Kyra Lennon – whooooooo!

As I write this, I'm wearing a jumper (I am writing this slightly ahead of time, so we might be back in heatwave territory by now), but I like my jumpers so I'm happy. I've been writing a few flash and short stories recently - in fact, one day I wrote, edited and submitted a …

Write with Fey

Hello, dear readers! Today I'm welcoming another guest to share her book with you - this time Chrys Fey, whose new book will help you navigate the world of writing and publishing. I'm still busy querying my novel, gearing up to write a new one (I'm planning another month-long blitz, so I've been jotting down the …
