This island full of ‘Sounds and Sweet Airs’
Hi everyone. Happy autumn! I’ve just come back from a holiday in Corfu. In a way it was a sort of pilgrimage – of the literary kind. I’ve posted before of my love for Mary Stewart books. I was about fourteen when I discovered her. Her love for Greece, knowledge of the Classics, and poetry […]
Friendship
Following on from the blog about the Romantic Novelists’ Association Conference (think I’ve just about recovered) my thoughts have turned to friendship. I’ve made a lot of friends through the RNA. I belong to several ‘chapters’ where we meet for tea and cake and a good natter. Writing is necessarily a solitary pursuit so it’s […]
Hot and Hectic at Royal Holloway
Hi everyone. I apologise, haven’t blogged for ages as, along with some Life Stuff, I’ve been trying to finish a book. It’s been a funny old year and not without its challenges but things cheered up with the Romantic Novelists’ Association Conference. I’m just back. Not entirely sure it’s revived my flagging writing mojo but […]
Bridgerton Revisited
Watching Bridgerton? I’ve been sucked in again. Somehow can’t get enough of the dancing, the music, the yearning! And that everlasting wisteria. Mine barely flowered for a week this year! Time to revisit this blog which I wrote a couple of years ago: Ah! Bridgerton! And I still think Luke Thompson should have been cast […]
Donkey Tale Update
Sorry to have neglected you all lately. I’ve been getting some words down. Some good news coming soon! However, ridiculously upset to get an update from The Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary about Ruby, the donkey I adopted. Lovely Ruby had a short illness and has died. I’ve been sponsoring her for some time and, back in […]
Morton S Gray – the writer as magpie – what writers collect!
Delighted to have Morton back on. Over to you, Morton … When you write novels you are collecting together lots of different strands and trying to make them into a book that flows and hangs together. It is often said that a book that is easy to read has often been difficult to write. Totally agree on […]

Please welcome back the delightful Luisa A Jones and her writing caves, news of her new release with Storm (it has the most gorgeous cover) and one or two writing tips. Over to you, Luisa … Hi Georgia, and thanks so much for inviting me to contribute to your fabulous blog. This time I thought I’d give your readers a […]
Have Dongle, Will Travel. Lizzie Lamb’s Writing Caves!
Please welcome in the new year with Lizzie Lamb and her writing caves. You can always tell an ex-teacher – they’re always so organised! Over to you, Lizzie: Back in the day my husband bought a ‘secret caravan’ off eBay for £300 because he was not sure I would take to the life. Talk about ‘ducks to water.’ We are […]
How I plan, write and edit … sort of!
How I plan came up during the recent Snow Prose session with the lovely Suzanne Snow. I mentioned that I’d maybe blog on how I plan, and my writing and editing process. I’m not saying it’s the definitive method but it works for me and it might for you. Here goes: 1) The seed of an idea begins with characters, their names, […]
