  • First Peek at Book Seven!

    Book seven has crept up on Amazon (other retailers to follow) and I’m immensely proud of this one because it really challenged me (and I had a really good time researching the male main character’s job!!) I realise it’s the middle of summer, but that’s how publishing works, so here is a first look at…

  • Beerfest is Coming!

    At long last, I’ve got myself in order to release BEERFEST, which has been a bit of an adventure so far and I hope will continue to be. It’s a friends-to-lovers Oktoberfest extravaganza with two characters at the centre who kind of broke my heart while I was writing. I’ve had a few moments of…

  • Publication Day for Italian Sunshine!

    I’m SO EXCITED for this book to be out in the world! I had a ball writing this one. Tiziano is one of my favourite characters ever and it was a joy to shepherd Jenn to a better place in her personal journey. So here’s a little more about each of them: Jenn Park is…

  • Happy Birthday We’ll Always Have Venice

    It’s been one year since my fourth book, We’ll Always Have Venice, was published! It’s been my favourite book, so far (A Taste of Italian Sunshine might take over that title, but I’m not quite sure, yet). In some ways, it’s difficult to have favourites, because there have been things I’ve loved (and obsessed over)…

  • One month until A Taste of Italian Sunshine!

    I’ve been in my favourite place – my writing cave – for quite a few months getting book 7 off the ground, but I’m about to send that off to my editor, so I can go back and wallow in the joy that is A Taste of Italian Sunshine!! How much do I love this…

  • 99p Books – The Whole Story

    So I’ve just reduced Berlin Calling to 99p in the UK, since Eurovision excitement is growing at the moment and I’m seeing more and more fun videos of the different acts and I’m very much celebrating the price drop and the chance to attract some new readers. But there is a full story with 99p…

  • The Agony of the Antagonist

    Let’s take a minute to talk antagonists in romance. Not every romance has them and there are a few different kinds. Do you like them? Some types but not others? I’m also not talking about romantic suspense, here. I’m talking about a romance where the main story is the two characters falling in love, making…

  • The Happiest Day

    Drafting is without doubt my favourite part of the writing process – well, that’s what I’ll say at this stage of a draft. The beginning of a draft is sometimes like wading through a swamp, but once I’m engrossed in the story, that’s my favourite part (from about halfway through the book, I start to…

  • A Taste of Italian Sunshine Cover Reveal

    Today’s the day I can start officially shouting about A Taste of Italian Sunshine, which I’ve been calling the ‘p’ book. I think this is my favourite cover so far! My publisher will reveal the cover later this evening, but if you’re following my blog, or are eagle-eyed, you might have seen it already and…

  • Updates from the Writing Cave

    It’s been busy keeping up with all of my projects, recently, so this blog has felt my neglect! Here’s a quick update from my cave, where I’m busy drafting Leonie Mack book seven and whipping Lilo’s second book Beerfest into shape. There were a lot of highs with the release of Berlin Calling, with some…
