hero – Elisabeth Hobbes Writes History

Things that aren’t romantic.

My husband and I have an ongoing debate about whether certain things are romantic or not (buying flowers, meals out, taking your own wine glass to the kitchen at bedtime…) One of our occasional disagreements is over the Roy Orbison song ‘Drove All Night’. For anyone who doesn’t know the song it’s about a blokeContinue reading “Things that aren’t romantic.”

Sneak peek

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.

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”

Sam Vimes -Alpha Male

If you’re reading this post because you follow the blog and are expecting to read about historical romance or Mills & Boon then be aware- this post is different. It’s only fair to warn you now that this isn’t going to be very coherent because after hearing about Terry Pratchett’s death on Thursday I’m stillContinue reading “Sam Vimes -Alpha Male”

I’ve got mail

One of the best things about this writing business is getting boxes of books through the post. Who doesn’t like getting parcels, and filled with books. What could be better. Oh yes, getting a parcel filled with books with my name on them! These turned up today completely out of the blue which makes itContinue reading “I’ve got mail”

Celebrating

A very short post because it’s been a long week. In my other job I’ve had a lesson observation and am in the throes of rehearsals for the Christmas play (insert all the traditional cliches about 5 year olds in Nativities- they’re all true). On my non-school days (I hesitate to call them days off)Continue reading “Celebrating”
