I received a very welcome email this week. It was from Findaway Voices and it sent me a link to my second audio book, Loving Vengeance, on Audible. When I first launched this book I kept checking if it had finally arrived on my Amazon page, but that was at the end of November […]
I wouldn’t usually choose fantasy to read, but, luckily for me, I didn’t know this was fantasy when I bought the book, which just goes to show you should always tread outside your comfort zone. I did know it was adventure though, and I do like an adventure. I have to say I was […]
As you may, although most likely, may not have noticed I’ve been trying to stick to writing one blog post a week. Besides the occasional review. This felt like a doable thing a few weeks ago when I had all sorts of ideas floating around in my head. If only I’d written them down […]
I am going to be interested to see if anyone else had this rather bizarre school experience. Of course I only think it’s bizarre looking back, at the time it was all perfectly normal. When I started in the lower school of my school, aged 6, I was taught to write with a fountain pen. […]
Springtime for Murder is one of seven books in this cosy mystery series. I started it thinking it was book 1 for some reason but I can confirm, having found out it wasn’t, that it can be easily read as a standalone, as, I believe, can the others in the series. This tale starts […]
I have heard about head-hopping, seen other authors discussing it on blogs and whatnot but had never had to consider it, until now.

I chose to read this short book as a member of Rosie’s Book Review Team and the author sent me a copy. This does not affect my review in any way. This book is made up of short stories and flash fiction written by the author somewhere between high school and his mid-twenties. This is […]
Coming up with the names for my characters is always an issue for me. It takes me ages and is often dependent on how I feel about any person with that name that I’ve met in the past. I’m always indecisive about the ones I choose for my characters and during a first draft they […]
I have never given any thought to my chapter headings. Consequently, I have gone about as basic as you can go – Chapter 1, not even Chapter One. And I wonder if I should change that? I have a client who has always named each of his chapters. Actually he puts a number first and […]
I may well be the last person to this but when listening to the AskAlli: Self-Publishing Advice Podcast today, on the Advanced Use of Social Media for Authors, Joanna Penn mentioned Linktree. I’d never heard of it before. I have used various link options over the years from Bit.ly for handy shortened links, then Book […]
