I’m a cover girl! Okay, so perhaps girl is pushing it slightly, but if you happen to buy issue #143 of Writers’ Forum, you’ll see me on the front cover. I was interviewed by the fabulous Helen M Hunt and that covers a double page inside. It’s called ‘Let your novel find its voice ‘ […]
Three weeks since publication, the reviews are still popping up: The Amazon reviews keep coming, thank you to those who took the time. Author Amanda Jennings wrote a post called ‘When Other Authors Inspire You’. There’s an exclusive interview with me over on Handbag.com (please note that I’m not writing the screenplay, but the rest […]
I’m thrilled to welcome the fabulous Darren Craske onto my blog today. Over to you Darren: To mark the release of ‘The Lazarus Curse’, the 3rd book in the Cornelius Quaint Chronicles published exclusively on ebook today, I have organised something a little special, and the ever so delightful Caroline has kindly allowed me to […]
To celebrate today’s launch of New Beginnings (recommended for children aged 8-11), I’m handing my blog over to (and wishing happy publication day to) Rebecca Emin.

I have been ‘exposed’ across the Maltese islands and I have been so very welcomed. Like Bees to Honey is buzzing in Malta. It’s a BEST SELLER on the island […]
There’s a very lovely review of Like Bees to Honey and an interview with me over on Catherine Ryan Howard’s website. There’s me revealing a little bit, over at the fabulous Bah! to Cancer website. I’m running a competition over on my Facebook page, to win a very limited edition of In Search of Adam. […]
Today I went over to Liverpool Daily Post’s offices to be filmed reading a chapter from Like Bees to Honey.** This film (of me hopefully not sounding like a Muppet) will be shown as part of their LiveRead online Literary Festival.
