So yesterday, to the delight of fans and the eternal horror of Robert Pattinson, Stephenie Meyer announced she was doing an EL James and releasing Midnight Sun, a Twilight novel told from Edward’s perspective. Admittedly this is only fair, since James – who of course released a book from Christian Grey’s POV) – famously started […]

How’s your lockdown going? I admit I envisioned putting all this time to magnificent use – I’d get that book finished, revamp all my websites, write some short stories, finally learn how to pitch an article. And… um, I haven’t done any of those things. I have drank an Oddbins’ worth of wine and eaten […]
Like many people, I’m trying to find things to be positive about right now, even in these anxious days. So it was nice to be reminded that it’s my book birthday this week – that it’s a whole 8 years since the first Dark Dates book ventured into the world. At the time, I already […]

Pick me! *cough*) at […]
Delighted to receive a parcel today from my friend Jo, who runs Stella My Star, a woman-run small crafts business that does a fantastic range of geeky themed jewellery. As you may recall, she sent me a custom-made Dark Dates charm the other day but the package came open in the post – but, star […]
My life feels like a series of coming full circle at the moment – but, happily, in really nice ways. Moving home, reconnecting with old friends and my family, and now, with my work. Yes, I am super excited – and nervous – to announce that my first books are now available on Kindle for […]
2018 has been a funny old year – for most of us, I think. The world has felt more than a little nuts (remember when we were all just sad lots of famous people were dying – ah, good times) and it’s impossible not to let that bleed into your everyday life. If you, like […]
So, as some of you will know, I am in the process of moving back to Newcastle right now (see my new blog, Prodigal Geordie, for updates). It’s been an interesting, if not always easy process, and one that has thrown up some emotional issues. Is it an admission of failure – that I can’t […]
