Today is the perfect time to introduce Kit’s guide through the fae world: a character called Valentine (most of the time). In this excerpt Kit and Valentine find themselves spending the night in a safe house in the Faedemesne, though it proves to be far from safe for Kit. ‘I told you, it’s a SafeContinue reading “Valentine’s Day with the Fae”

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.”
A gift for a dryad
I hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend and not rushing about too much finding last minute gifts. Doing my shopping reminded me of the scene I wrote in The Promise Tree when Edwin takes Drusilla a present. What do you get a 200 year old dryad for Christmas? “I brought you a gift.” HeContinue reading “A gift for a dryad”

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
Redeeming the Rogue Knight and Cats When a hero is in danger of coming across as unlikeable, received wisdom suggests giving him a ‘save the cat’ moment. It doesn’t literally have to be a cat, of course, but he should do something that reveals a soft, squishy, lovable interior under the shell of hardness or coldness,Continue reading “Thursday Throwback”
Cover reveal – Beguiled by the Forbidden Knight
My next book, Beguiled by the Forbidden Knight is out in June (though subscribers to Harlequin or Mills & Boon’s reader subscription service will get it in May). I can’t overstate how much I love this cover. Everything about it is perfect, from the misty, gothic atmosphere to the characters – including one very importantContinue reading “Cover reveal – Beguiled by the Forbidden Knight”
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”
