Unfinished Thoughts

Because England's on day four of a heat wave and there's no Tiger to curl up in my lap while I enjoy my second cup of tea, I was out of the house by six and had my 10k steps done by eight before it got too warm to move. (For anyone in the US… air-conditioning in homes isn't a thing here.) It's a …

Eleven years ago today, I was all jittery and excited as the first Jack & Gareth novel went out into the world. Ever since, and in the same way I use assorted birthdays, I've used the date as a target to publish other books. Today's offering is Fan Bait, a novel I started writing in 2012, set in …

The last few weeks of getting a book out are the hardest part for me. Writing is fun, editing is an enjoyable challenge, but when my editor returns the book from its second round of edits - my mind calls it done, never mind that there's the final revision, then formatting, read through, and …

Fourteen years after I started this story - and granted, it spent many of the years in between languishing on my WiP stack - Fan Bait is out of the house! Why did I finally decide to finish it? Because the rest of the Power of Zero world had finally caught up to Max. In A Simple Mistake, which …

It's holiday season here in England, the perfect time for a reading binge or two. Do you ever find yourself craving a romance that hits all the right notes—mystery, slow-burn tension, delicious tropes, and of course, musicians with a capital M? Then take a look at Falling for the Singer, which is …

Welcome to March's monthly plot twist. How are you all? I'm glad February is done with. It's my least favourite month and it's usually the one where I struggle mentally and physically. It's the month where I'm most likely to stress about my weight, start a diet, decide to lift weights, and cook and …

Welcome to February's monthly plot twist. How are you all? I hope you've survived the crazy that was January with your sanity intact. The month seemed never ending. We've had a lot more going on than I'd bargained for. Getting our home ready for sale came with a lot of moving parts and stacks of …

Welcome to the new monthly plot twist. It's January - and a very Happy New Year to you all! May 2025 bring you only good things. However much I plan and try, the early part of December always seems to devolve into chaos of one sort or another. Last year, I quite deliberately only scheduled one …
