The Power of Pop Music
I’ve really enjoyed having my blog guests on this year. They’ve all been fabulous and have produced some wonderful stuff to share, with lots of luvverly pictures. Occasionally, it means I seem to spend all my time on social media but it’s good to support other writers. While preparing a Take Three Books feature, a song played […]
Out now!
I’ve been deep in structural edits so missed flagging this up – New Beginnings at Christmas Tree Cottage is OUT NOW! I’m thrilled that it’s racing up the charts and readers love it. I’m even more excited that one of my writing heroes, Katie Fforde, has given me this quote to use. Thank you so […]

I also […]
Kalimera 1: Zakynthos – returning after thirty years!
I’m back, sunburned and relaxed, from a holiday in Greece. Not that unusual you say but it is for me. First holiday in nine years. Yes, nine years! A combination of poorly dogs, rescue dogs that couldn’t be left and lockdowns meant any foreign travel was put on hold. And, as we live by the seaside anyway, it seems daft […]

The Cornish Rebel is the seventh novel in my Cornish series, so I wanted to set it where the others are set – between Polperro and Penzance, or somewhere inland around Truro or Bodmin. It’s the area I know best from […]
