  • How (not) to name your minor characters…

    I may be having problems with my current work-in-progress… Draft one was completed and polished a few months ago and went to my fabulous editor for the first edit. (Edit 1 is mainly about the plot, structure and character development) Back it came, and I started on draft two, incorporating my editor’s suggestions for giving…

  • The ‘M’ books… #A-Z books 📚

    This is an adaptation of something I saw on Twitter – people were posting 26 books in 26 days, each title beginning with a different letter of the alphabet. However – I’m planning on taking around 26 months to get to Z. Each month I’ll post a newish book I’ve enjoyed, plus a children’s book…

  • Sweet ‘n’ sour books from… Yorkshire

    With both family and friends living in this lovely area, I’ve been to Yorkshire more often than any other part of England – so that’s where I’ve chosen for my second sweet ‘n’ sour books. In each S+S post, I’m featuring one romance or feel-good book, and one in a crime fiction genre, both set…

  • Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

    Carmen Radtke and I are what you might call opposites. She’s a native German-speaker who’s lived for decades in English-speaking countries, and I’m the other way around. I’ve read all her books in English, so I was really interested to hear she was planning to translate one of them into German herself. Today, she’s here…

  • The Runaway, on location…

    I’ve never set a book in an area I haven’t visited. Having said that, most of The Runaway takes place in Cornwall, and it’s many a long day since I was there – but the impressions I had then have stuck in my brain. One day I’ll go back, but it won’t be this year……

  • Coming soon – book nine. 📘 And two goodbyes…

    Who was it said that writing a book is a marathon and not a sprint? Two or three years ago, an idea started jogging around in my head. A couple of news stories had been hitting the headlines, about people who’d disappeared, sometimes for years, and then emerged again, to the joy and also the…
