Not giving up the day (and night) job.

Today is World Poetry Day. Always one to join in things, I thought I’d have a go. I couldn’t stretch to a whole poem but here is my Blacksmith’s Limerick (with spoilers).

Giveaway time

The other week I was searching for methodsContinue reading “I’ve never heard one called that before!”

Voila! Cover Reveal

Falling for Her Captor is being published in French in October and I can now reveal the cover. I love the close up as it shows the lovely details of the model’s clothes, and of course those earrings that I still covet. The link to buy from Amazon.fr is here Dans Les Bras de L’Ennemi for anyoneContinue reading “Voila! Cover Reveal”
