If I believed in astrology I would definitely be looking out for strange planetary alignments and something moving into my house of somewhere this month. It seems to be a time of new beginnings. This is my last blog for Girls Heart Books and, while I have only been writing here for a year or … Continue reading
Do you ever write purely for enjoyment and nothing else? Do you ever write knowing that no one but you will see the words? I do. And it is such a freeing experience. I can be anywhere in the house with my laptop or I can find a warm spot in the sunshine outside. I just allow … Continue reading
I am rather sad to think that this is my last ‘turn’ writing for the Girls Heart Books blog. It’s been fun. Endings can be difficult, as we remember all of the things we have enjoyed. But endings make way for new beginnings. I am busy finishing projects, ready to move on to something new. … Continue reading
One of the fun things about being a writer is that you get to imagine yourself into situations you (hopefully) will never experience.

I’ve been blogging here for years now – my first post was so far back I can’t find it – and I’ve loved every one. I’m doing a school visit as well today, something I never imagined that I would be doing. So I thought I’d take the chance on this – my last ever post … Continue reading
Today I have put together a list of the things I love about reading. It’s by no means comprehensive and it’s definitely a bit random, but I hope it will strike a chord as a fitting way to sign off on my last post for Girls Heart Books…so here goes… I love how many … Continue reading
‘How many books have you written?’ It’s a question I get asked at just about every event I do. On the surface, it sounds simple. But it isn’t, not really. I have written three published books. But those are not the only books I’ve written. There was my first book, The Purple Princess, written when I … Continue reading
