Last month I read three novels alongside a biography and another Danish lifestyle book. I really enjoyed all the books - Little Fires Everywhere is a compelling story of family secrets, True Love is a cute romance with lots of loving nods to Jane Austen, and Lykke is an interesting analysis of happiness. The two… Continue reading Books read in October 2017
For the first time, this autumn I have been working on a four-part serial called Random Acts Of Kindness. Each part of the story will be released as eBooks, starting on 4 December.

I completely missed writing a books of the month post for August so I'm going to do two months together! Here are the books I read over August and September: I definitely didn't read as much over the past two months as I've been working hard on my book series, the deadlines are very… Continue reading Books read in August & September 2017
When people ask me about writing, I think one of the questions I get the most is - how do you keep writing when self-doubt strikes?

Here are the books I read in July! I only managed four after the massive Outlander last month threw me off: I had wanted to read We Were Liars for ages and I love this special edition hardback copy. It's a gripping YA read with a hyped twist and the storytelling is very original… Continue reading Books read in July 2017

This month I neglected my pile of non-fiction books and read five novels instead. Two were books that I've been meaning to read for years - The Secret Life of Bees and When God Was A Rabbit, which I read along with thriller I Found You, the YA story The One Memory of Flora… Continue reading Books read in May 2017
Scrolling through Twitter yesterday I saw a lot of tweets talking about writing every day in response to another article about the subject. I've read so many articles about how you have to write every day. They often say things like "if you want to be a REAL writer, you must write everyday" and make… Continue reading Write to the tap of your own pen
Another month over - how are we in May already?! I only read four books this month mainly because one of them was really long and recovering from my thyroid treatment I went on a Netflix binge and didn't read as much as I thought I would. The Bone Season has sat on… Continue reading Books read in April 2017
