An interesting and charmingly written post from an eloquent writer, who I had the pleasure of teaching many years ago. 🙂
Art imitating life imitating farce…
When people find out I've written a novel, one of the first questions I always get asked is 'have you put anyone you know in it?'. I gather this is a pretty common question to ask a writer, and the usual response, from everything I've read and many people I've talked to, is to laugh… Continue reading Art imitating life imitating farce…
Half term shenanigans :)
Half term, before my own children, used to be a blissful time of lie ins, catching up with household things, time spent with The Husband, a bit of holiday homework and a lot of chilling out on the settee. How things change with the arrival of your own sprogs! Now, half terms tend to be… Continue reading Half term shenanigans 🙂
Feeling the love for Valentine’s Day…
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 heroes
So, it's Valentine's Eve, and it's time to think about some of the characters that have inspired me to create my own. What is it about certain fictional heroes that get my heart pumping and my blood rising? I make no apologies for the somewhat mainstream nature of this list - although perhaps one or… Continue reading Romantic heroes
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
