As you know, the role of the chocolate martini has a historic place in my writing career and been the pick-me-up of choice when it comes to the hideousness of rejections. I’ve even doled out several (virtually) to lots of writing friends. So now is the moment when I can finally share with you Dr … Continue reading “Friday Indulgence – Chocolate Martinis”

The View from the Other Side
I’ve actually been waiting to post on here a while because I wanted to do a Happy Release Day post for my lovely CP and fellow Entangled Sister Robyn. But due to technical difficulties, we’ll have to wait a little bit longer for that. So I thought I’d write intead about being on the other … Continue reading “The View from the Other Side”
The Trick is to Miss the Ground – Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Writing Again
Okay guys, I’ve been wanting to write this post for weeks now but I had to wait until I’d signed the Samhain contract. It’s about my first sale and why writing for yourself is so important. As you all know, I’ve been aiming at Mills and Boon for years. I had some success early on … Continue reading “The Trick is to Miss the Ground – Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love Writing Again”

Bring on the Angst!
The quicksand book is done. At least the first draft of it is. And thank God because I thought I’d never claw my way out of it. Why do first drafts suck so badly??? Anyway, my plan now is to let it sit and fester and while it’s brewing away I’ll start another book aimed … Continue reading “Bring on the Angst!”

And since I always do what I’m told, I thought I’d better go do it. 🙂 First up, there are a few things that work in my favour when it comes to fitting in writing … Continue reading “Getting Stuff Done”
Quicksand Book
This time the quicksand isn’t in the journey ahead, it’s in the book I’m writing. And no, I’m not exaggerating. I’m SURE my book is composed entirely of quicksand because every time I open the damn document I get sucked in. And not in a good way. More like a ‘help, help I’m drowning!’ way. … Continue reading “Quicksand Book”
Settling the Dust
Okay, so the last two weeks have been a total whirlwind. Three book deal, revisions from Mills and Boon, a contest final, plus another thing I’m not allowed to mention yet, AND my birthday!! Apart from all the good writing stuff, the bestest present was the crocheted screamer from Edvard Munch’s The Scream. Yes, a … Continue reading “Settling the Dust”
Call Story
Two posts in one day?? Insane. But then that’s my life at the moment and I don’t mind telling you that I’m quite happy with it thank you very much. 🙂 Anyway, I’ve posted my Call story on the Sisters site. It’s long and rambly. Don’t say you weren’t warned… 🙂
Sold to Entangled!!!
I’ve thought about how I would write this post a million times. And for the past week I’ve been imagining all the ways I would write it. But now the time has come, I can’t think of what to say!! So I guess I’ll just say it. I have a three book deal with Entangled … Continue reading “Sold to Entangled!!!”
