If you want a reason why he should win checkContinue reading “Vote for Sir Hugh as Harlequin Hero of the Year”

A very eventful day and a new contest!

Today is the first anniversary of the publication of Falling for Her Captor. It’s been a fabulous year since release. The book has received some amazingly positive reviews. I had a second book released in July, my third is with my editor and I’ve started writing the fourth. Today was always going to be aContinue reading “A very eventful day and a new contest!”

I’ve never heard one called that before!

Warning- links in this post contain language that may offend. Since starting writing I’ve searched for all manner of things I never expected to.
