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.

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”

Title reveal!
Yesterday I was gloomy owing to my day job. Today I’m not so I want to share the title for my next book. It’s the story of Eleanor and Will and is called A Wager for the Widow which I think has a great alliterative ring to it. It comes out in July (just inContinue reading “Title reveal!”
A grumble about teaching English
‘The big ginger cat of London likes eating fish and climbing the curtains.’ ‘the enormous marmalade coloured cat of london likes munching his way through mounds of salmon and whizzing up and down the curtains like a yoyo’ Which sentence is correct? Which sentence is better? According to the new National Curriculum for Year 1,Continue reading “A grumble about teaching English”
The Wonders of the Universe Drinking game rules!
Originally posted on Anomalous Distraction:
Jusht Cuz. Stop Press: Apparently Prof Cox is aware of the drinking game. So by not participating, not only will you be letting yourself down, you’ll be letting him down too. Do it. You know it makes sense. Take 1 finger of drink when Prof Cox says: “Millions*” “Entropy“ “Enthalpy“…
