This can be a tough one to accept. If you are a creative person there will always be people in your life who will never: Understand why you spend hours, days, months, years working on the same story. Understand why you read so many books a week. Share your creative enthusiasm for your creative projects. Understand […]
Before I start my post I want to say that publishing my first book has been a HUGE learning experience for me. There have been positives and negatives. There are things I will do again and there are things I will avoid doing next time. I did concentrate heavily on my book, actually I will […]
Welcome to my virtual blog party! After 3 years and 6 months of blood, sweat, tears, endless cups of coffee, 12 drafts, 5 rewrites, many hours spent at the kitchen table, countless time spent gazing out of the window daydreaming, loads of sweaty author nightmares, millions of texts and emails to writers friends, a mind […]
This book of modern day poems did something miraculous: it made me start reading poetry. It is safe to say that up until this point I was a poetry virgin. Can you believe this?

As you all know I am looking for witty guest bloggers who can write something about romance which will make us smile. Chase McCann is a very funny lady who blogs about the conversations she has with her husband and I can’t help but smile at her posts. I knew she’d be perfect for a […]
When one of my favourite bloggers contacted me to say she had a cracking guest post up her sleeve, I was so excited I did some high leg kicks and cartwheels in the garden. Sadly there is no photo evidence of this great celebration. Rita Bhatha from www.butismileanyway.com not only has a great blog but she […]
I am always on the look out for guest bloggers to take over BlondeWriteMore for a day, so I was thrilled when lifestyle blogger Jasmine from the blog ‘Thoughts From Jasmine’ accepted my guest post invite. Jasmine’s posts are chatty and engaging. She writes her posts in such a way you feel like you are sat […]
