Excerpt time and a bundle of nerves.
It’s just over a month until Dance with the Fae comes out. Usually I’m gearing up to do social media posts and blog tours but this time I’m adrift because at the time of querying, the organiser wasn’t sure the bloggers who take part on Twitter would be posting elsewhere. It’s a bit nerve-racking asContinue reading “Excerpt time and a bundle of nerves.”
Dance with the Fae- Cover v Cover
My editor recently got in touch to let me know that the cover for Dance with the Fae is changing. We spent a lot of time during the design stage going back and forth between combinations and settled on the one below. Now the colour has changed to this. I can’t decide which one IContinue reading “Dance with the Fae- Cover v Cover”
Thursday Throwback

I thought at theContinue reading “Happy Birthday to me!”
Medieval Monday with Barbara Bettis
This week on Medieval Monday I’m delighted to share an excerpt from Barbara Bettis’ The Lady of the Forest. Paxton already must have arrived to spread his lies. Damnation. “This has all been a mistake,” he insisted. “You might well think so.” She edged closer as they spoke. Something about her hair—its remarkable color—danced atContinue reading “Medieval Monday with Barbara Bettis”
Romance on the Road
‘I’m glad I caught you, Elisabeth. I’ve got a proposal for you…’ Words to stir anyone’s heart. In this case not from Tom Hiddleston (I keep hoping) but the librarian at Macclesfield Library where I do my Tuesday morning writing session. She asked me if I would be interested in taking part in the RomanceContinue reading “Romance on the Road”
Valentine Giveaway
It’s the season of romance (unless you’re cynical and Northern like me). To celebrate Valentine’s Day Harlequin are running a giveaway with a difference. All the authors taking part are giving away a copy of one of their own books and a secret surprise title by another author. I’m giving away a copy of TheContinue reading “Valentine Giveaway”
