SO chuffed.

(Also in some amazing company – Frank Cotterell-Boyce; Lauren St Child; Marcus Rashford as well as others I’m not so familiar with)

It’s 11-12am & in the Jury’s Inn hotel. Downside is that you have to buy a day ticket to the Con to attend, which at the moment is Ā£41. BUT that means you also get all the other bookish…[Read more]

I think it’s hard to write well about one’s own experiences – at least I find it so!

Can you believe it?

Anyway, as asked I have posted the link that contains the winning story below. I can’t believe it is the one that…[Read more]

And if anyone has a spare minute in the next 180 and feels so inclined, I need all the votes I can muster. Hoping @fionamsharp (reader/buyer for Waterstones) will read the proof of my story The Chemical Detective. Cheers!

Some of you will know how this challenge will work but I am conscious of the fact that this site is not the Word Cloud. We are lucky to have new members here and they will not have taken part in one before, so forgive me if I go over t…[Read more]

My personality is to be like a dog with a bone, and I think that accounts for a lot!

I do believe that the other thing is about continually learning CRAFT. I have been listening to a series of podcasts (https://storygrid.simplecast.fm) over the last 6 months or so and boy, have I learnt a lot.…[Read more]

For those of you that know me, hello again. For those that don’t, I’ve written a crime thriller called Pieces of Eight, set in Liverpool.

I’ve reached that wonderfully terrifying time of having finished my final edits on my manuscript, started polishing my synopsis and trying to write the perfect query letter.

I’ve done years worth of…[Read more]
