Behind the Book
On a Falling Tide was in its early stages when I heard there might be a film made about Mary Anning. I was excited for a couple of reasons. I knew what I was writing had promise and it was good to know others found fossils interesting! Plus, the film would be made in my favourite town of […]
A Heart-felt Plea
A throwback post but I’m not apologising for it. This is the account of the wonderful time I had being taken around Shute Barton by a knowledgeable and entertaining National Trust volunteer guide. The house is currently only open for four weekends a year (pre-COVID arrangements obviously) for the remainder it’s run as holiday lets. […]
Remembering Dunblane
A slightly different blog from me today. It was a normal morning in Year 3 and 4. We’d done registration, had got the first lesson under our belt and were gearing up for assembly and then playtime. When the head teacher came in and whispered the message in my ear, I was not prepared for what she […]

Janey’s out in the world!
It’s a calloo-callay, buns for tea, red letter day. Janey is published and out in the world! As ever, I’m both excited and nervous. I loved writing this book and I love Janey, so please be kind to her! Read more here: Janey’s life becomes more disaster movie than romcom when the ruthless Becca steams […]
Take Three Books with Alison Morton
I’m delighted to have Alison Morton back on the blog, telling us about the books she loves, the ones she wishes she’d written and her new book which is out NOW! Over to you, Alison, let’s hear about your choices. Thank you so much, Georgia, for inviting me to talk about books. This could be dangerous as there’s nothing I like […]
Flowers Heal the Soul
On Morton Gray’s blog talking all things flowery, sunshiny and positive. If you’re longing for summer this chilly January day, take a look. Love, Georgia x PS if anyone knows where the quote, ‘Flowers heal the soul’ comes from, please tell me!
Cover reveal!
Here it is. Hopefully out next month (I’m currently proof reading it). I love the characters in this one and it was a dream to write. It’s an uplit romcom, a sort-of update on Calamity Jane and features gardener Janey and sexy accountant Will. There’s a cocker spaniel called Camilla and a host of characters […]
Blue Monday – revisited
I wrote this blog piece a few years ago. Strange to think the only thing of concern then was wet playground duty and short days! We have so much more to worry us at the moment and looking after ourselves has never been more important. I think the buzz phrase is ‘self-care.’ Personally, I’ve never […]
The Christmas we Crave
I’m sitting at my desk. It’s the end of the day and the end of an unforgettable year. I should be writing a scene set on a steam train in the heat of July but instead I’m watching as the houses opposite disappear into the December gloom. Smoke smuts and hot weather seem too hard to conjure […]
