You find me, once again, in that strange emotional position of having submitted one book to my publisher, Boldwood, whilst starting to work on the next one - as a contracted author, that's definitely the way of things! Usually, I'm quite pleased to send the manuscript on to agent and editor, but this time, I'm… Continue reading Letting it fly…

Blog Tour – ‘The Weekender’ by Fay Keenan ~ @BoldwoodBooks @faykeenan
It's publication day for my new novel 'The Weekender'! Here's an extract from the first chapter to whet your appetite. Thank you so much to Sonya (aka aloverofbooks) for kicking off the blog tour!
Feeling the love for Valentine’s Day…
I was reminded of this post today and thought it was worth rebologging, just for the fabulous kissing scenes! I might do an updated version when I get the chance, although a lot of these still make the list! Which are your favourite film/TV kisses? Feel free to link me to them in the comments :).
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 grope. Lucy Griffiths and Richard Armitage got this one so right. It’s eight seconds of snogging perfection, in my book!
2. The Doctor and Rose at Bad Wolf Bay. I loved the Tennant/Piper combination, and BBC’s rendering of the scene was marginally better than what ended up in the actual episode. Long live Ten (2) and his beautiful Rose! 🙂
3. Mulder and Scully from ‘The X-Files: Fight the Future’. So close, so very very close! I love Gillian and David with equal passion, and this moment from the first film makes my heart flip…

‘Summer In The Orchard’ (Little Somersby book 3) by Fay Keenan
A truly gorgeous review…thank you so much, Amanda xxx
Synopsis
Sophie Henderson loves her job at Carter’s Cider in the picturesque Somerset village of Little Somerby, but with summer dawning before yet another picking and pressing season, and her boss David showing no signs of wanting to hang up his cider jug, perhaps it is time to move on.
She’s all set to hand in her notice when Alex Fraser, an intern from Vancouver, comes to Little Somerby to learn everything he can about the cider business. With Sophie as his mentor, attraction between them starts to grow alongside the apples.
For Alex, however, being in Little Somerby is about more than cider, and as the summer grows warmer, and his relationship with Sophie blossoms, can he find the courage to tell her the truth before it’s too late?
