I mentioned it in my last post, but this is the official announcement that this blog is now on hiatus while I dig deep into my current novel-in-progress and get back to some short story writing too. You will still be able to find me on: my website Facebook Bluesky and through my newsletter I've … Continue reading Gone writing
Interview with… Andrew Verlaine
Hey! How's your summer going? Mine is full of words and editing and re-writing. My desk has so many layers of pieces of paper torn from notebooks and A4 sheets with timelines and chapter breakdowns, and my keyboard is sitting on top of them all while I ignore them and plough on! I was so … Continue reading Interview with… Andrew Verlaine
Interview with… Ronel Janse van Vuuren
It's been an amazing summer so far, with glorious sunshine, family get-togethers, and so much writing. I'm currently in the middle of re-writing my novel-in-progress which, for me, is an essential way to see the plot holes. And, although I'm only working on Chapter 3 at the moment, there have been a couple. In fact, … Continue reading Interview with… Ronel Janse van Vuuren
Interview with… Elizabeth Lancaster
Last month I talked about the glorious sunshine, and guess what? We've still got it. I've been to a lovely local coastal town with a friend, I've sat in the garden with cider to write, I've taken Artoo on some wonderful walks, and there's still lots of warm weather forecast for the next week! (Oh, … Continue reading Interview with… Elizabeth Lancaster
Interview with… Nicole Zelniker
I've been enjoying some wonderful April sunshine over the past couple of weeks, as well as some terrific April showers. It's also my birthday month, and I was able to drink cider in the sun, have two delicious meals, and an afternoon in the pub. Why limit yourself to a day when you can celebrate … Continue reading Interview with… Nicole Zelniker
Interview with… MJ Buckman
Life, my day job, my new novel all got put in a cocktail shaker this month and shaken really hard. I'd hoped to get another post written between the last interview and this one because there's actually stuff I want to tell you. So, not to distract from MJ, here's a brief list: New short … Continue reading Interview with… MJ Buckman
Interview with… Sara Hosey
I've been super busy this month. Inspiration for my novel has flooded me... I mean, completely deluged and splurge and flooded me. Which is good, and extremely welcome, but it also means I haven't switched off for about three weeks. Every time I close my eyes at night, or I'm walking the dog, or I'm … Continue reading Interview with… Sara Hosey
I’m off to Bude!
I put this on my website the other day, and thought I ought to share it here too. My first event of the year has been organised, and I'm off to Bude, on the north Cornwall coast. It's a stunning place that I don't often visit, so I'm really looking forward to it. If you've … Continue reading I’m off to Bude!
Interview with… no one, because I forgot!
In my last post, I mentioned I was putting my Interview with... series on hiatus and creating something new. Well, I've changed my mind. I know, I know... Let's just call it 'life getting in the way', and leave it at that. Anyway, that means I'm on the lookout for eleven authors to interview over … Continue reading Interview with… no one, because I forgot!
Happy New Year!
2024 was a mixed year - a book launch in May, and then a slight case of writer's block for the rest of the year. Writing isn't always easy - it pulls you apart and puts you back together in a completely different way; it stretches you to your limits, and it pushes you down … Continue reading Happy New Year!
