The ‘Grimly Cute’
Saturday saw me tootling off to meet a select few from the RNA Dorset Chapter. I’m honoured to be allowed to still attend as I’m now in Devon (although only just). Lots of members live in north and east Dorset and often meet in Bournemouth which is a bit too much of a trek for […]
Bank Holiday reads!
It’s May and the Bank Holidays are coming thick and fast. In Devon, so is the rain! Still, it’s not a traditional holiday weekend without some inclement weather. I suggest you curl up with a coffee and read some good books. You can check out a few here: https://www.agetimes.co.uk/entertainment/culture/top-20-summer-books I’m currently reading Natalie Jenner’s The […]
Ah! Bridgerton!
I devoured the Bridgerton books, all eight of them, back in 2002 when I became mildly obsessed with everything Julia Quinn. I loved the books, although (sorry Gregory) my enthusiasm was beginning to wane by the time I got to On the Way to the Wedding. I’m not a great reader of Regency romance, Jane Austen being the exception, and […]
Amor Vincit Omnia.
I’m deep in the research again. While waiting on a few submissions, I’ve returned to a dual narrative I began with great enthusiasm a few months ago. (Last year was the year of beginning things only to get interrupted or lose confidence). It’s set partly at the end of the Roman Empire and in present […]
I Love the Research: Part 3
I blame Morton S Gray. Writer Morton runs a blog where guests are invited to share what they do when they’re not writing. https://mortonsgray.com/blog/ I guested recently but couldn’t choose the topic – apart from the odd dog walk I don’t do a great deal when I’m not writing. To be fair, having written an […]
Talking all things Writing Caves and She-Sheds
I’m guesting over on Morton S Gray’s blog discussing the importance of having a writing space. Why not pop over and check out her blog. There’s some great stuff on it, including how to talk camel! Hope you’re all doing okay in these worrying times. If you need an escape from the awful, awful news […]
Order! Order!
I thought it might be useful (and it’s excellent procrastination in order to avoid the edits!) to list the Berecombe books in order. Useful info if you’ve come to the series halfway through. The book that started it all: When I wrote Millie Vanilla’s Cupcake Café, I had no idea it would turn into a […]
I Love the Research: Part 2
Every book, no matter when or where it’s set, needs research. I’ve always loved doing it, I’ve always loved to learn so it’s no hardship. But it’s very easy to get distracted … The pandemic made research a little harder so thank goodness for online resources. There is a wealth of information out there if you tread carefully and sift. […]

Morning everyone. Happy February 3rd. The new book is out today, with parts two and three to follow soon. If you like my Berecombe books and are longing for some sunshine, grab this little bargain now! Love, Georgia x
I love the research (and it’s just as well!)
It’s great that the new book is out there. It’s been a long time coming! Part of it takes place in World War Two so it’s lucky that I’ve always loved the research, sometimes to the extent that it eclipses time to write. I’d always been aware of GIs being billeted in Dorset and Devon in the lead up to […]
