I always knew Mark had a warrior inside him. As a young man, he was very active in medieval reenactment, we have a sword collection scattered all over the house, but recently, he took an active role in home defence, and I must admit I underestimated how ferocious he is. It all started with aContinue reading “Modern Barbarian”

The dread of the Newsletter
For those of you who are not deeply invovled in the writing world let me tell you it is a badge of honour for every writer to have a robust mailing list. Those are our readers who signed up for regular contact via newsletter or new release announcements and we (the authors) treat it likeContinue reading “The dread of the Newsletter”
Snipped from the new project
Accidentally drunk
We were invited to the wedding. A colleague from work was getting married, and as a bunch of nut job doctors, we were invited to the evening party. I was thrilled, as it is lovely to put on some nice dress and make up and just let yourself go every now and again. I wasContinue reading “Accidentally drunk”
Creative Differences
Yesterday Mark and I had a big shouting match about a scene. I can’t tell you much because there would be too many spoilers, but let me ask you a question. If you doing a sad, sweet goodbye, would you ever use a person’s full name? I wouldn’t, but Mar editing Summer Veil insists thatContinue reading “Creative Differences”
Two patients in a price of one – release week fog.
The release of Spring Blight is this Friday, and I admit I’m equally excited as tired about it. This and my endless week of covering the NHS doctors’ strike made my brain shut down to the point I doubted my sanity. On the last shift, I picked up the patient, let’s call her Dawn JohanasContinue reading “Two patients in a price of one – release week fog.”
Your step-daughter first boyfriend.
I’m packing my ARC promo packages today. A thank you card with few book aesthetics and illustrations on the bookmarks and fridge magnets. Nothing much but enough to show appreciation for my ARC readers. My stepdaughter came back from school and as proper tenager with FOMO running high she decided to join in and helpContinue reading “Your step-daughter first boyfriend.”
Wet Rat Saturday
Mark and I got a little writing crazy sitting at home and finishing the last book in Season’s War series, so yesterday, he dragged me out to town for shopping. Not the best timing because … well, it is Cornwall, and it was raining. Here, when it rains, it pours. It feels like a monsoonContinue reading “Wet Rat Saturday”
Happy international woman’s day!
What it mean’s being a strong woman. You may disagree with me, but for me, it doesn’t mean being a Marvel character who can save the world with a snap of the finger or a raging feminist that feels the need to prove to everyone if a man can do it, she can do betterContinue reading “Happy international woman’s day!”
Uncertaintly of Joy
KENP read in February Something worked, but I don’t know what, and it kills me. I’m not a successful author meaning I can’t solely sustain myself and my family from my writing work. Still selling the books and having a good trace of KENP read makes me more successful than about 95% of indie authors.Continue reading “Uncertaintly of Joy”
