Why this cover? Because he’s cute
Never let it be said that I am behind the door when it comes to handing out advice as to how to go about ‘writing’.
What’s on my desk right now?
Nail varnish- a razor- a pair of tweezers-
Uh?
Okay- here’s the deal- I have a lunch date with my [...]

Imagine this…
You clean, polish and dress your baby until it acquires a truly unique glow. No one else’s baby is quite so perfectly formed, so intriguingly dressed, so elegantly displayed…
Except, someone doesn’t agree.
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!
Now, I think you must already realise that I am not known by my dearest and closest as The Ninja Carrot for nothing. [...]

We think you should take a break from skiing this New Year, mother…
Really? My ears prick up.

Yes- How about taking a break in a warmer climate- We all think you deserve it…
I should have known the moment I saw those earnest expressions that something was going on. Meanwhile, I am picturing Caribbean beaches, or [...]

There’s nothing like a good Sheikh in the morning to start the day off with a bang
(There should be a symbol for tongue in cheek, don’t you think? Maybe I’ll design one and patent it)
Good morning! And I hope I find you well.
What happens if an author catches the dreaded flu? I guess [...]

(I’m sitting on a stool, because I couldn’t afford a chair)

2) Do we really want him/her to stop when we know they’re [...]

Miss Prim is my October 1st release in the US and UK for Modern/Presents- I have to say I love this heroine- quiet, scarred, self-effacing, but with enough moxie to take on an unrepentant alpha playboy- let battle commence
And fantasy?
Well, I have this theory, you see: I start work- admittedly early, [...]

I love holidays, research and travel- meeting new people- sharing new experiences, but the end of the trip means work work work to catch up- and no blogging! (Okay, so I have to break free sometimes- And here I am)
I return home, take the coffee into my study and switch on 3 screens- so now [...]

How did this happen? Where are my babies?
Bet there are a few more Mom/Mums out there feeling the same way I do
Nearly finished polishing my Sword of Vengeance- Man, that’s fun!
Have a great time in Washington all of you who are going to RWA nationals- and don’t forget to tell me all [...]

As the sun sets on a wonderful visit to a beautiful island, thankfully, I don’t have too long to wait until I make my next visit

2010 will see me spending even more time in the Mediterranean, and in particular, on the island of Menorca, soaking up the atmosphere ready to pour it into [...]
