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”

It’s been sitting on my desktop ever since and I haven’t known what to do with it. ThisContinue reading “Something Different”
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”
Meet Roger- cover reveal
I love getting covers through. There’s always a slight anxiety that the model or scene won’t resemble anything in the book but so far (Saxon’s black hair aside) I’ve been very pleased with mine. The cover for Redeeming the Rogue Knight was particularly important because it was my first book that was linked to aContinue reading “Meet Roger- cover reveal”

We have a new theme for Medieval Mondays and a new way of sharing our excerpts. The theme is Villains so join us to find some of the nastiest, most ruthless bad guys who ever plagued our heroes and heroines.
