I just wanted to let you know the Children in Read 2021 Auction is now live. Hundred’s of books, paperbacks and hardbacks, have been donated and are available for you to bid on. The authors and illustrators are the ones who post them out and I believe all will be signed. If you would […]
Entrepreneurs are busy, hard-working people who need to schedule self-care time as a fundamental business responsibility. As the leader of your organization, if you get run down or burned out, your business suffers, so consider self-care to be just as important as other aspects of operating your business. Even taking time to relax with an […]
I hope you are well. This is a quick email to remind you that Parallel Lies, my fourth novel, has been discounted to 99p/99c (or the equivalent in your country) on Amazon only for the next few days. It is appearing on Hello Books, which you might want to check out as a future source of […]
When I started writing I made the decision to review every book I finished, and I’ve stuck to that thinking I could hardly expect readers to review my books if I wasn’t willing to put the same effort into those I read. I spotted a superb 1-star review for The Joker the other day, I […]

This autumn, Rosie has planned a Review-A-Book Challenge, with a great list of books to choose from, […]
I’m not sure where the week goes but it certainly seems to race round when it come to me trying to write my blog post for each Monday. I had no idea what I was going to write this week but then thought I’d mention the challenge I’m setting myself through November, again. Yes, it’s […]
Anyone who is around me when I’m writing will know I hate the first draft phase. It is always such a relief to have finished that and hopefully have the basic story down, with most of the bits generally in the right order. They will also know that conversely I love editing. I take […]
Independent authors talk about their books being exclusive or wide. But what does it mean?

For doing this you get to tick the box which lets you into the KDP Select programme […]
