What a year!
There’s no denying this year has been a doozie. Usually, around this point in December, I do some kind of round up of the year. However, on a purely personal level, not an awful lot has happened! I’ve written, spent far too much time on social media, watched TV and read lots of books. Doesn’t […]

Curated by Worcester Cathedral, it’s an exhibition of costumes made for recent film and TV period dramas. On display are 30 or so costumes from productions ranging from Wolf Hall to Mr Selfridge.

Worcester LitFest
http://worcslitfest.co.uk/ Had a brilliant time at the Worcester LitFest’s Romance Panel yesterday. It’s always good to hear how other writers do their stuff, cope with reviews (good and bad!), research and deal with edits – and to meet fellow authors and readers.
