Yesterday I was in Waterstones meeting up with a Scottish book blogger I have been following for a while. I’m always slightly nervous meeting bloggers – what if they don’t like me?! – even though on the rare occasions I have done so, they have all been a delight. And, of course, the same happened here: we […]

I have been on the move for most of the last few weeks, as I (hopefully) await all the paperwork on my new flat going through. It’s been an unsettling time, and I haven’t always been able to write, which has been frustrating, as my time has been focused on paid work, house hunting and […]
Now, I must admit I have long had a Bridget Jonesian level of fascination for self-help books. I read them like other people devour thrillers or romances – for a dose of pure escapism. It doesn’t matter if they are not remotely relevant to my life, and sometimes, the more bonkers they are, they more […]

Another very welcome visitor to my site – and the only book blogger I have actually met in the flesh, having had a splendid afternoon with Karina and her husband when they visited London! Tell us a little bit about your blog – what does it cover, what are its themes or focus? Nocturnal Book […]
Like many authors, I’ve been a little depressed by some of the hostility that seems to have arisen between (some of) the blogging community and authors over the past couple of years – its seems that the behaviour of a few overly entitled individuals has poisoned what should be a harmonious relationship, since we’re all […]
So – one of the best parts of my publishing journey has been connecting with so many great bloggers. I was really anxious about this when I first published Dark Dates: everything I saw online seemed to be about drama between authors and bloggers (especially indie authors) and lots of blogs I first encountered had […]
