Celebrating readers and reviewers

‘I finished the book at 2am!! I literally devoured it.’ ‘I couldn’t put this book down and didn’t want it to end. It brought a tear to my eye, made me laugh and smile all at the same time.’ ‘I forgot my worries and just lost myself in this highly convincing world and romance. WilliamContinue reading “Celebrating readers and reviewers”

Show a little faith, there’s magic in the night

When I write there’s usually a particular song going round in my head, or which I play when I get a bit of writer’s block and want to get back into the mood. For Falling for her Captor it was Intervention by Arcade Fire and with less than a week until release date I wantedContinue reading “Show a little faith, there’s magic in the night”

BBC Radio Manchester interview

Release date is getting closer so yesterday I paid a visit to Media City in Salford to talk to Becky Want on BBC Radio Manchester about A Wager for the Widow. I had a case of nerves before I went on air and I’m not sure the coffee helped but I enjoyed sitting in Costa beforehandContinue reading “BBC Radio Manchester interview”

A Wager for the Widow cover reveal and excerpt

I’m excited to reveal the cover for my July release, A Wager for the Widow. Although I’d been not-too-secretly hoping for my gorgeous hero Will (looking like a cross between Alexander Skasgard and Chris Hemsworth) I’m really pleased with the result. The model’s shade of hair is exactly right for my feisty widow Eleanor. It’s aContinue reading “A Wager for the Widow cover reveal and excerpt”

A visit and a video

When I signed my second contract my editor Julia invited me to visit the Harlequin office and go out for lunch which I was really looking forward to (despite being a gibbering wreck about meeting real people). I’ll freely own up to being ridiculously nervous about being unmasked as a complete fraud in front ofContinue reading “A visit and a video”
