I'm a bit of a sucker for list shows, so I thought I'd share my top ten romantic moments, that probably inspired me to be a writer of romantic fiction. In no particular order, here are my top ten kisses and heart stopping 'pashes'. 1. Sir Guy of Gisborne and Marian of Knighton's infamous doorway… Continue reading Feeling the love for Valentine’s Day…

Romantic ‘What ifs….’
I was discussing my intention to fill this blog this week with romantic things, in the run up to Valentine's Day, with a good friend, and she suggested that I think about the whole 'what if' scenario in a romantic context. This is familiar fanfiction territory, as it's what the genre turns on, but it… Continue reading Romantic ‘What ifs….’
Chemistry, part 2!
Obviously, as soon as I posted last night, I immediately thought of about a hundred more onscreen examples of chemistry! So, here are a few more for your delectation 🙂 Oh, how I loved the boys' own adventure that was Hornblower! This is probably what gave me my first crush on Paul McGann and Ioan… Continue reading Chemistry, part 2!
Chemistry…
So today I'm thinking about chemistry. Not the kind that goes on in test tubes, but the burning, elemental, pheremonal heat that is generated when two (sometimes more!) people get within breathing distance of one another. Here is a top five list of the onscreen partnerships that make my heart thump when I see them,… Continue reading Chemistry…
Sharing the love for Valentine’s…
I thought I'd try to post something every day in the run up to Valentine's Day, as I am a writer of romantic fiction, after all! So tonight I've decided to kick off with the poem that my brother read during my wedding day to my lovely husband. When I asked my brother if he'd… Continue reading Sharing the love for Valentine’s…
Life imitating art…a night out at The Pantry
Last Friday my husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to secure a couple of hours to ourselves, courtesy of my mum, who agreed to the not inconsiderable task of babysitting my two girls and Bertie the seven month old Weimaraner puppy. I say not inconsiderable task, because we had a table booked… Continue reading Life imitating art…a night out at The Pantry
Happy birthday, Matthew Carter!
January 15th, 2014 was a very special day. It was the day that a character walked into my head and refused to go away. So it seems only fitting that January 15th became his birthday. That character, of course, was Matthew Carter, Managing Director of a multinational cider producer, divorced father of a teenager and… Continue reading Happy birthday, Matthew Carter!
Prizes and positives…
Since I finished the last round of edits on Far From the Tree, I've been entering the odd few thousand words of it, usually the the first three chapters, into writing competitions to see how it gets on. In fact, it was the feedback from the Florida Romance Writers' Association back in November that made me realise… Continue reading Prizes and positives…
Pestilence and the picturesque.
Well, OK, so perhaps pestilence is a bit of an exaggeration, but I did have to take a day off school today because I was at the infectious stage of impetigo, which is a bit inconvenient. For those not in the know, impetigo is a highly contagious bacterial skin infection that causes lesions and scabs,… Continue reading Pestilence and the picturesque.
The end of Nano…and the beginning of something.
So it seems only fair to write a post, post NaNoWriMo. And although I didn't quite make the word count, slipping in at a sniff under 40,000 words as of the last night, I'm not disappointed. Having spent seven months getting to what was, at the end of the first draft, 160,000 words, I don't… Continue reading The end of Nano…and the beginning of something.
