On a Falling Tide
As you can probably tell it’s been nose to the key-board recently. As well as doing edits for the new release, I’m also on the second draft of a new Berecombe book. The publication of On a Falling Tide took me slightly by surprise. After three years of trying to place it, it came out […]
On a Falling Tide
Delighted to announce my latest book is now out from BLKDog Publishing. If you like romantic, spooky mysteries this might be right up your street!
News news news … sort of
Sorry for not updating the blog very often lately. I’ve been working hard. I’ve got some exciting news if you liked my historical romance, While I Was Waiting, which I’ll be able to share soon. Here’s a hint. My initial character notes for my hero and heroine. Meet Charity and Matt! In the meantime, I’ve […]
Catching up
Can’t believe how the time has flown. I’ve neglected you. I do have my reasons though. I’ve moved house – again! And, as well as being surrounded by endless packing cases, I’ve also been writing something new. For those of you who love Berecombe, this might hit the spot. I’ve inherited an AGA with this […]
Fun, fans and champagne cocktails: RNA Conference 2019
With July comes cricket, the school holidays and, hopefully, some great weather. It also sees the annual migration of lots of very excited romance writers flocking to the Romantic Novelists’ Association Conference. Photo (c) Carol Bevitt. This year it was held at Lancaster University. A lovely spot but a bit of a distance from the […]
A Tale of Two Litfests
On Saturday I drove nearly a hundred miles and stayed in the same county. I hadn’t realised Dorset was quite so big. Admittedly, I live on the very western fringes and I was travelling to the Wiltshire/Somerset border but even so. I’m familiar with the coast but didn’t know the area I was heading […]
Italian rights sold!
Hi folks, I’m really sorry to neglect you. Can’t believe how the time has flown. I’m deep in some sticky edits and have a new puppy – both time sucks of the highest order. I do have some exciting news though – Harper Impulse have sold the Italian rights to The Little Book Cafe! […]
The Little Book Cafe – paperback!
The thrill of holding the paperback copy of a book you’ve written never fades. Had a surprise delivery this morning – a box of the latest. The Little Book Cafe paperback is out next month. Not Christmassy at all but might make the perfect present 😁 Please note it’s Tash’s, Emma’s and Amy’s stories in […]
Women and Power
2018 is the centenary of the armistice. It’s also one hundred years since women were given the vote. National Trust houses are few and far between where I live but Killerton, near Cullompton in Devon, is a favourite. This autumn it played host to an exhibition, Women and Power: The Struggle for Suffrage. As it […]
