I was interested to put that list together to see my 12 favourite books I read in 2017. I think it's clear I have wide-ranging tastes - the list includes… Continue reading My Books Of 2017

Books read in December 2017
There was a definite festive slant to the books I read last month but with everything Christmas going on, I only managed three novels and one non-fiction book: I love a good lifestyle book especially when they look pretty in photos! Tanya's Christmas is a festive how-to guide with crafts and recipes and lots of… Continue reading Books read in December 2017
Dear 2018
It's that time again when we look back on the year as a new one begins. I must admit I'm not sorry to see the back of 2017! On top of my thyroid issues, someone drove into the back of me giving me whiplash and I had to go to A and E twice, having… Continue reading Dear 2018

How Do You Choose How To Tell A Story?
Once you have an idea for story, the next step is to decide how you're going to tell that story. I've ended up using two very different ways of telling a story for my first two novels. The Second Love Of My Life, which was published last year is written from the first person perspective… Continue reading How Do You Choose How To Tell A Story?

Random Acts Of Kindness Challenge
To mark publication day for Part One of my Random Acts Of Kindness series, my publishers Simon and Schuster set me a kindness challenge. I hit the streets of London with some goodie bags to try to spread some kindness on a rather gloomy Monday morning. Check out the below video to see how I… Continue reading Random Acts Of Kindness Challenge
It’s Publication Day, Baby!
Well, that came around quickly, didn't it? I don't think any writer ever enters publication day without a mixture of excitement and nerves, and I am no exception. It's always scary to put your work "out there", hoping that readers will enjoy it and like what you've created. It's terrifying to look at your rankings… Continue reading It’s Publication Day, Baby!
