With less than a week to go until the release of The Blacksmith’s Wife I thought I’d share a snippet. This is the first meeting between Hal and Joanna. Joanna has talked her way into the tournament grounds, hoping to find Sir Roger, the knight she is in love with. Joanna made her way to the courtyardContinue reading “Sneak peek”

Belated New Year greetings
Happy New Year. I feel there should be a statute of limitations (or perhaps a statue of limitations) on saying that. It’s been a hectic time, as I’m sure it has been for everyone. My plan to write at least two chapters of m WIP over my Christmas break didn’t go according to plan, thoughContinue reading “Belated New Year greetings”
A month down the line
A Wager for the Widow has been out for a month. Yesterday I had a wonderful review on Cataromance which described the book as ‘a fantastic historical romance that sweeps readers back to the past and enchants them with its intoxicating blend of intrigue, adventure, passion and pathos.’ I’ve had an amazing response for the bookContinue reading “A month down the line”

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”
The Ideas Shed
When I wrote the story that became Falling for Her Captor I was really pleased with it as an idea. I had to be because it was the only one I had. When I got offered a 2 book contract I had a bit of a panic about whether I could actually write another bookContinue reading “The Ideas Shed”
One year on
This time last year I was reeling from The Call. Feeling nostalgic I decided to look back through this blog to reminisce and discovered I never wrote about it. So here it is: Have you ever wondered how writers feel when they finally get The Call? I know I have. Whenever I fantasised about itContinue reading “One year on”
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!”
