How writing too much left me floating down a river… A look back on July #amwriting #writerslife #writingcommunity
Who stole July?! It’s gone by in a flash. It’s been a busy one. The motto for this month seemed to be: ‘The comeback is always stronger than the setback’. I was feeling great, writing regularly, and even managed to do some more work on pushing myself out of my comfort zone. Firstly, I attended…
A celebration of women rediscovering their strength & joy @dvsouthbham
As soon as I opened the doors to the hall, the sound of happy chatter hit me. Women gathered together, looking happy and relaxed and having a bit of a pamper day – what could be simpler than that? Get talking to these women, though, and every one of them has an incredible story to…

Book review: THE WOMEN, SE Lynes @SELynesAuthor @bookouture
Just back from holiday, and my favourite read was The Women, by SE Lynes. The writing is absolutely beautiful, and although this is a psychological thriller it is also a cross-over into women’s fiction. At its heart is a graduate called Samantha, who falls in love with an older, more sophisticated man and slowly her…
My favourite reads of May @taralyonsauthor @zoeleawriter @LouiseWriter @SSCav @callytaylor @lucyfoleytweets #amreading #thrillers #psychologicalthriller
It’s time for another round-up of favourite books I’ve read in the last month or so. My word, there have been some incredible stories – it’s been hard to choose the best, but here you go… Ooh, what can I say about The Paramedic’s Daughter, by Tara Lyons? Not too much, because I don’t want to…
