Budleigh Salterton Literary Festival Part Two
I returned to Budleigh on Sunday at an hour when only the seagulls were abroad. This time it was to see Dr Sam Willis (him off the telly) and Professor James Daybell lead a session called Histories of the Unexpected. It was, they explained, a method of tackling history through ideas or objects. Rather than […]
Take Three Books: Janice Preston
Please welcome Janice Preston, the prolific and very successful writer of Regency romance for Harlequin Mills and Boon. Here are the three books which have helped shape her writing. Warning: there’s more cheating going on! 35 times over, to be exact! Book One: which book most inspires you? I think it has to be Pride and Prejudice, which […]
Mr Darcy Loses the Plot
Spotted the title, pressed “buy ticket” on the laptop. Who could resist something called Mr Darcy Loses the Plot? Another promising night at the theatre beckoned. Mr Darcy, in the middle of being written by Jane Austen, takes umbrage at her allowing Wickham to get the girls and have all the fun. He also takes offence […]
It’s Strictly Time (again)
The children are back at school, the nights are drawing in, some people keep mentioning Christmas. It can only mean one thing: it must be September! I’m a winter baby and I love autumn so I’m not too down-hearted. The other reason I’m looking forward to pulling the curtains shut and switching on the fire (I’m going […]
News … news … news …
Booky news coming in thick and fast! Buns for tea! I’ve just signed a new three book contract with those lovely people Harper Impulse. There will be more Millie books on the way. Just as well as I LOVE writing about Berecombe. Or, as it’s otherwise known, Lyme Regis! And: Check out page 39 of […]
Rachel Dove’s Beastie Besties
Please welcome HQ Digital author Rachel Dove and her beastie besties. Tissues at the ready, it’s another sad tale. I have always had animals in one guise or another. When I was a little girl, I had a white rabbit called Mr Frisky. In my early teens, I had a mouse called Gizmo, who was […]
Millie’s gorgeous new dress!
So pleased! Millie Vanilla: the complete series, paperback and ePub, has a new cover. Harper Impulse has had a rethink and the orange one is no more. Instead, we have this little beauty. Isn’t it absolutely gorgeous? So pretty! I love it. Not out until next year but I can’t wait to hold the paperback […]
Evonne Wareham’s Train of Thought: writing cave/s
Please welcome the wonderful, award-winning Evonne onto the blog. She’s here to talk about her writing cave. Or rather, her writing caves as she has more than one. As I’m typing this sitting downstairs instead of in my study as usual (poorly dog) I understand. I’ve decided I’d like to move in with Evonne, as her […]
