Not In My Own Back Yard: Eighteenth Century Style
It’s always a delight to host Nicola Pryce as her blogs are unfailingly interesting. Here she is with her latest. Over to you Nicola! 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 […]
New Beginnings
After a dismal summer, the mornings are feeling distinctly crisp, there’s dew on the car windscreens and it’s getting dark by eight thirty. Autumn’s on its way!

There’s always another […]

I currently split my time between a house in Dorchester, Dorset where my desk overlooks water meadows and a tiny flat in SW London. We let our Dorset house as a holiday home over […]
What’s in a Name: Part 1
Please be advised there may be some who find the following insulting. Sorry! Any writer will have a problem with names. Let’s think about the mental gymnastics involved in naming characters first of all. I’ll visit naming places in a later blog. For me, when creating a character, often the name comes first.

Spring is on its way!
It’s sunny and warm here in Devon today and spring finally seems to be on the way. I’m heading into the garden for the traditional Bank Holiday weekend plant up, tidy up and inevitable bad back! What are you all up to? I’ve been having a play on Canva and produced this. Lovely to see […]
