I’ve sat down and tried to draft out a blog post so many times and haven’t been able to think of what to say. 2019 was hectic and complicated due to illness, a busy time at work, trying to finish off a house extension and all sorts of other things. I still managed to get two books out A Runaway Bride for the Highlander and A Midsummer Knight’s Kiss (and even more incredibly managed to write one and a half more).
The upshot is that I’ve been very quiet here for a long time. I loved joining in Medieval Monday but moving into the Tudor period meant I wasn’t as relevant to that.
2020 looks set to be interesting.
Uncovering the Merchant’s Secret is out next week. It’s my ninth book which feels unreal. If someone had told me in 2010 I’d have published one book, let alone nine I’d have laughed.
My tenth manuscript is almost good to go and is yet another change of direction because it is Victorian.
I’ve signed a two book contract with One more Chapter books which I’m incredibly excited about (and a little nervous at the change of direction).
I’ve also joined a gym (five visits so far- go me).
I want to reengage with this blog as I don’t use it enough. I might even try revamp the style if I can work out how. Watch this space.

Elisabeth’s writing career began when she entered her first novel into Harlequin’s So You Think You Can Write contest in 2013 and finished in third place. She was offered a two-book contract and hasn’t looked back. Since then she has published six Medieval romances with Harlequin Mills & Boon and doesn’t have any plans to stop!
Elisabeth works as a Primary teacher but she’d rather be writing full time because unlike five year olds, her characters generally do what she tells them. When she isn’t writing, she spends most of her spare time reading and is a pro at cooking one-handed while holding a book. She loves historical fiction and has a fondness for dark haired, bearded heroes.
Elisabeth enjoys skiing, singing, and exploring tourist attractions with her family. Her children are resigned to spending their weekends visiting the past. She loves hot and sour soup and ginger mojitos - but not at the same time!
She lives in Cheshire with her husband, two children and two cats with ridiculous names because the car broke down there in 1999 and she never left.
