I’m heading into the resolution phase of the first draft of Chosen, out next year. It’s a new genre for me, and it’s pushing me hard. Today, Robyn gave me this lovely gift. It’s glass, with the date I signed my contract. I love it. We do this for each…

The big news comes first: they’ve accepted it. It’s not a dream.  You’re going to be a published author.  Lots of people have supported you to that moment. You’ve talked with other writers, commiserated over copious amounts of coffee and far too many slices of cake. Your friends told you…

Phew.  The Diva Literary Festival was this past weekend, and now I’m back home, sunk deep in a bubble bath, and contemplating the event.  Loads and loads of things are running through my head. I’ll get to them piece by piece.  For now, a few random highlights: I was on…

I’ve had this very cool thing happen recently. Not once, but twice.  I’ve dreamt entire storylines. And when I’ve woken up, they’re still with me, which means I’ve been able to write them down. Seriously, whole kit and caboodle. (What is a caboodle? Must Google.) The characters, the journey, the…

Words.  Seriously, they’re amazing.  We set up a booth at Brighton Pride last weekend, and it was fantastic to see so many people come over to talk about and buy books. We talked about favourite authors, about ideas, about genre, and about lots of random stuff too. Words helped us…
