It’s been another busy few weeks in Dark Dates towers, and I’ve had some great fun visiting various blogs. First off, it was over to Reflections of a Reader for their new segment, Monday Musings – where I talked about book buying habits, and why I can’t stop buying hardbacks even though I don’t actually […]

It’s been a busy few weeks for Dark Dates – I’ve particularly been working with bloggers and authors from the fantastic Book Connectors Facebook Group, which has been a lot of fun and lead to some really interesting posts! First up, I did a post on Damp Pebbles, talking about how the crime and fantasy […]
Price promos are likely bloody buses, eh? You don’t get one for ages then two come at once. But yes, while my price promo for romcom The Bridesmaid Blues continues this week (99p only on Kindle!) I’m also celebrating the start of the Edinburgh Fringe by reducing my short story/novella A Vampire in Edinburgh to […]
To celebrate the sun coming out (it’s probably raining by the time you read this, sigh…) Bridesmaid Blues is only 99p on Kindle for a week. It’s been described as ‘A smarter, funnier Bridget Jones’ Diary for the 2010s – great pithy writing and instantly likeable characters‘ (by award-winning author Caroline Green, no less!) and with […]

So it’s exciting that she’s going to be involved in the Nine Worlds convention in London this August. Zoe will be Cassandra Bick as part of the cabaret, which sounds enormous […]

While it feels like the world is on a fast track to hell at the moment, I’m trying to focus on happy things: and this week I get to celebrate that both Angel Falls and A Vampire in New York and Other Stories are out in paperback! I’ve loved adding to my Dark Dates family, […]
Got a lovely 5* review for Angel Falls from Gaele at I Am, Indeed – “Truly this is one of the best Urban Fantasies you’ve never heard of! …unique, funny and totally twisted in ALL the best ways” Erica at the lovely little blog The Bookshop Round the Corner – which is a booklover’s joy, […]
In honour of Pride in London today & because I suspect we all need a laugh in the current political crisis, here’s a (possible) scene from my WIP – Laclos vs homophobes, round 2: [Note: this is set in New York] ‘Hey! You know this ain’t a bar for your type, right?’ I looked up as […]
Three years ago, in May, I became homeless and an orphan in the same weekend. Both of those things are true, while at the same time, not true: factually accurate, emotively incorrect. Only child of a single mother, I was indeed (to my knowledge – hi, Dad, if you’re out there!) an orphan, though that […]
