Bleeding Ink
Writing As Therapy Pencil and paper has always been my literary weapon of choice. If I’m stressed, I pick up a pencil and freewrite. Scribbling away my feelings for ten minutes is really good for my mental health. When I’m finished, I read through what I’ve written. Sometimes it shows me a way out of my current problem, but finding solutions isn’t the point of the exercise. It’s the process…
Worried there’s nothing new to say? Originality and classic plots are in the spotlight in the search for a writer’s greatest strength.
Rest And Be Thankful
There is a viewpoint on a high mountain pass in Scotland called Rest And Be Thankful. Generations of people on foot have done exactly that, although the long haul uphill is now more likely to be made by car or tourist coach. Only locals and dedicated walkers are likely to make the trip on foot. For them, this resting place really deserves its name. It’s easy to feel down in the dumps during…

Christmas by Candlelight
The weather has been horrible here lately. I hope it’s better where you are! If you feel in need of some good news, you’ve come to the right place. My Christmas release this year is a collection of sweet festive stories, Christmas by Candlelight, which will be released on Thursday, 20th November. Tradition I’ve been writing for The People’s Friend magazine for quite a while. The Friend’s…

Happy Canada Day to all those who celebrate it! I've been inspired by Canadian the Honourable Kirsty Duncan PhD to get out and get busy...

Here’s the trailer… Grace thought she had it all—until her perfect life fell apart.Escaping to the Cotswolds, she finds a new job, a tiny stray kitten… and Ben, the local vet with a tragic past.

The first two books in my Royal Romances series now have book trailers. See them here – what do you think?
Fed Up With Facebook
I'm fed up with the hundreds of fake messages I'm getting on Facebook. Blocking and reporting them all would be a lifetime's work. I've tweaked my settings as much as I can. Do you have the answer?
I’m fed up with Facebook – or at least, with the enormous number of spam messages I’m receiving on my Author page. I used to love posting on both my Personal and my Author pages. I was linked with lots of other writers and small business, both in my local area and beyond. Then a while ago, everything changed. My posts began to attract a huge number of comments, and it wasn’t only the most…

Romance and Reading Resolutions
We’re already two weeks into the New Year. Are you managing to keep your resolutions? This week I’ve come up with a few ways to make this year the happiest yet.
I’m combining romance and reading resolutions in this week’s blog. Have you tried the Action for Happiness project I wrote about here? Their suggestion for Monday the sixth worked well for me. It was a dismal day weather-wise, and if that wasn’t bad enough the house had that particularly bare look that comes when the Christmas decorations have been taken down. Then I checked the Action for…
Action For Happiness
Midwinter celebrations are over for another year, the weather is dismal, and it's a long time until payday. Why not try some of Action For Happiness's ideas for making January the happiest time of year?
Be-Twixtmas and Be-Tweenmas The period between Christmas and New Year is a weird time of year. The Orthodox churches won’t be celebrating the birth of Jesus until 7th January, and the Christmas season doesn’t officially end until Candlemas on February 2nd but the supermarkets have already swept away the Christmas decorations. The shelves are now full of hot cross buns and Easter eggs. It’s no…
Seasonal Reads
Fed up with fighting your way around the shops under leaden skies? Escape to a world where the best Christmas presents are delivered under the mistletoe! I’m spotlighting seven seasonal books (and one piece of flash fiction) today.
From Ancient… This year sees the 40th anniversary of the BBC TV version of John Masefield’s popular Christmas story, The Box of Delights. Masefield’s book was written in 1935 as a sequel to his earlier The Midnight Folk. In its time, critics said The Midnight Folk could stand alongside great children’s books such as The Water Babies and Alice in Wonderland, but it never caught the public…
The People’s Friend
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas, and I've got news of seasonal fiction and free books...
Christmas Reading and Christmas Cheer It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here in Gloucestershire. The People’s Friend Festive Bumper Issue has arrived, complete with twenty-three stories (two of them mine!). Lemons, limes, and yuzu are ripening in the greenhouse. The log burner is crackling with good, dry wood harvested last year. I’ll soon be decanting homemade cassis into gift…
Words For The World
If you're going to be in Monmouth, Wales, on 9th November why not come and support a local charity which has an international reach? Bees for Development helps people to help themselves–by helping bees.
On Saturday 9 November, Words for the World, a literary event to raise money for the charity Bees for Development, is being held by the Monmouth branch of The Society of Authors. There will be poetry and readings on climate change, a tombola, and afternoon tea. A local beekeeper will give a talk about Bees For Development. Find out more about that charity’s work across the world here. Words for…
Catastrophic Weather Events
Catastrophic weather events can strike anywhere, and at any time. Not even sleepy little Somerset is immune from danger.
This week, the people of Florida are trying to survive Hurricane Milton. How on earth did America’s first European settlers react to the violent storms, excessive heat, and tremendous cold that continent endures? Many pioneers travelled across the Atlantic from my home county of Somerset. It’s generally low-lying land, well-watered by wet south westerly winds blowing in off the Bristol Channel.…
