Are you an ARC reader?
Hey lovely readers! I'm just heading back from a week's holiday in the South of England. It's been a weird week with my new car's suspension popping. (I think we broke it with too much luggage!!) My husband slipping down a grassy bank and dislocating his little finger...
I’m not okay!
Hey guys! I just thought I'd share a song off my Tidal playlist for Owen's book. I haven't decided on a definite title for him yet. I might even just called it 'Owen'! This is actually a fab track for Selina, Owen's mate. She's very broken but refuses to tell him why....
Stock photo usage and plagiarism
I recently received a message from a concerned reader that I was plagiarising another author's book cover. This isn't the first time I have received this kind of message or a comment on an ad, and I just...
Trusting others to help.
So I did a thing... As an indie author basically you are running a business alone. Everything is your responsibility to complete. I have spent thousands on marketing courses that I either don't understand or don't have the time to complete. It's quite ridiculous...
Multi-project writing.
Hey, how are you doing today? I just wanted to give you a writing update. I am working on several different projects at the moment. I've never done this before so it's a new experience. Ha! Truth be...

Someone asked recently-“what the most important things to do when just starting on a self-publishing journey?”
This question gave me pause. I realise how much there is to learn and how much I have indeed learnt over the past 5 years since I released my first book. Damn, I also realised how much I wished I'd had someone to guide me at the time, too. I have made so many mistakes...
This is the cuteness that distracts me from writing!
See what I have to deal with! Minnie is so cute it's really distracting! Especially when all she wants is cuddles. How many of you have such cute animals that they just stop you doing what you're doing and demand cuddles and attention? Yes, it's true she was even cute...
Unedited Reign teaser! (18+ years)
I'm excited to share this first unedited teaser from Reign! Remember this series is aimed at 18+ readers so this teaser contains some cursing etc, (just saying...) Preorder HERE Connor is really pissed right now and down for a good fight.... I wonder who will take...
