Lately I’ve been wondering what on earth to post on this blog. Which I guess partly explains my lack of posts (the other half has been mad edits/deadline stuff but I’m not going to talk about that). Before I sold, this blog was about my journey to publication, the heartache of rejection and the highs … Continue reading “Is Blogging Dead?”

Talking Dirty with the CEO Excerpt
Right so please ignore the lack of blog posts. This month has been CRAZY. I now have 29 days to write 50k. And edits to do in between. Nightmare. However, the best thing is that Talking Dirty with the CEO is out in 10 days!! In fact it’s up on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, iTunes … Continue reading “Talking Dirty with the CEO Excerpt”
Synopsis Suckage – A Few Synopses Writing Tips
Haven’t done a writing post for ages and since I’m in the process of writing outlines for the agent, I thought I’d do one on every writers arch-nemesis – the hideousness of the synopsis. It would really be good if editors or agents could just lift the story straight from our heads. But sadly, since … Continue reading “Synopsis Suckage – A Few Synopses Writing Tips”
Here’s Why I Don’t Blog As Often As I Used To
I always used to wonder what happened to writers and their blogs after they got published. Seemed that they didn’t post like they used to. Or they would but their posts would be sporadic and just about their new releases. I used to wonder why. Well, now I know. Here’s what my schedule has been … Continue reading “Here’s Why I Don’t Blog As Often As I Used To”
Difficult Women
Again I have been somewhat slack on the blog front – March has been full of edits and deadlines and I just haven’t got to it. BUT I have a post I’ve been meaning to write. And it’s about the problem of writing a difficult heroine. I’ve written about this before a few times but … Continue reading “Difficult Women”
My RT Review for Talking Dirty With The CEO
I don’t really know the protocol for putting up reviews of one’s books up on one’s blog. But I’m going to post my RT review for Talking Dirty because…well…it’s RT! And…*blushes modestly*…it was 4.5 stars! Who knows what difference a review like this makes to readers? Certainly I know as a reader myself that even … Continue reading “My RT Review for Talking Dirty With The CEO”
Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit
It’s been a while since I’ve done a writing post – this month has been crazy with edits and covers and blurbs and newsletters, so the poor old blog has suffered. Before I sold I used to blog a lot about the trials of being an unpublished author and lots of other writing related stuff. … Continue reading “Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit”
Black Knight White Queen Blurb
Oooh, exciting week in Ashenden Land! Just got my blurb for the chessman! One night in Bangkok changes all the rules. Professional chess player Aleksandr Shastin never lets emotions rule his life, or his game. Not even the unexpected death of his mentor shakes his icy control—at least that’s what he thinks. Until he meets … Continue reading “Black Knight White Queen Blurb”
Black Knight White Queen Cover
I’ve been holding off doing a blog post for ages, mostly because I’ve been dying for the go ahead to show you my fabulous cover for my Chessman book! OMG, it’s swoon worthy! It’s perfect. My heroine really looks like that! And it’s got a chessboard! And a cool font! And my hero who thinks … Continue reading “Black Knight White Queen Cover”
Why Promo Is Like Fishing
As Finn hits the digital shelves, I have been thinking about promo. Probably too much but nevertheless, that’s me. Over-analysis is my thing. Mainly because people have been asking me if I did anything special to promote Finn. I have to tell you that no, I haven’t. But I guess that’s kind of wrong. Because … Continue reading “Why Promo Is Like Fishing”
