Hi everyone. No blog today as I'm travelling, exploring the world. I'll start posting again in mid October when I return, unless I find wifi and some burning blog needs to be written. But I doubt it. Looking forward to sharing again later in the year. P.S. Keep an eye on my socials to see …
Leaving my laptop behind
I'm about to leave on an extended break. As a writer I had already decided my laptop, Huey (yes, he has a name), was coming with me. My husband was also considering bringing his. We both have matching laptops, just in different colours. We weren't trying to be a sickly sweet couple when we bought …

I signed a new book contract.
The week before writing this blog I signed a book contract. It was for an eBook titled Winter Masquerade. At one stage I wanted to expand this book but after reading it for editing, I liked its pace. I didn't want to bloat the story. Someone asked me during the week which of my novels …
