Who can believe it's August? Not this girl. I was chatting to an author friend yesterday and we realized it had been exactly a month since RARE London. In fact, as I write this post, it's been a month since the signing day in London. In the last few weeks I've been feeling a little like a failure. I've struggled with deadlines and doing everything that needs to be done but sometimes you have to stop and look back at what you've achieved. When I travelled to London I'd just fi

One of my author goals for a while is to sell paperbacks outside of Amazon. This includes both online and physical stores. My first venture is with the Chester Falls series because it's so popular and also complete. I've commissioned a set of new special edition covers that will be available on paperback. These editions will also contain the bonus scenes. I'm still waiting on completion of a couple of things before I can publish them, but I can show you the covers now. I love

My goodness, talk about flying by the seat of my pants! In the last two weeks as I finished the first book in the Spencer Brothers trilogy and then wrote the extra short story I didn't have much time to do anything else. Of course once you start publishing a serial you can't exactly go "soz my dears I'm skipping a few weeks because I was busy". Nope. And I hate letting people down so today I put my head down and wrote the next chapter. Here it is our welcome to Sam. Chapter 3

It's been a while since I've done an update, and considering it's also been a long time since I've had a release you might be wondering what's been happening or what I have coming up my sleeve. I'd also love some input from you about The Attic. We've been in this space since January and I'd love to hear from you what's working well, how much you visit the attic and what kinds of things you like to see. Signings

Each book I write has a similar process. I need to plot in order to start the book and know where I'm headed, but I can't plot it all because there's always some kind of distraction from the characters. Sometimes they tell me something else needs to happen, and sometimes I plot a chapter and then I realize I can tell that chapter in one paragraph. The Fiancé wasn't different in that respect, except I change things around until almost the very end, which happened yesterday. I'

Sometimes things aren't how we want them to be. I want summer to arrive already because this ridiculous rain is annoying. And I want all the words to come quickly. That's not too demanding, is it? Either way, I'm determined to keep bringing you these early Island chapters. The newsletter subs will start getting them every two weeks from July 1st. By then you'll be way ahead of the game and you can tease them all 😂 Last time we saw Gabe on the ferry about to arrive at the isl

It was almost two years ago that I published The Resort . And it was almost three years since the story started as a newsletter serial for my readers. If you didn't know me then The Resort started as a photo prompt from a reader. Before I knew it I had the first chapter written and then the second and so on. I never imagined the story of the three men who fell in love after a sizzling hot encounter would capture the interest of my readers. The Resort was my first, and so far

It's been a while since I've done one of these and I had so much fun using one of the prompts from a previous post. Comment on the post if you want to see more from any of the characters in the Micro Fics or to suggest your own prompts. There was never any doubt that Marcus would play a big role in my life, right from the moment he barged into it, fists raised and eyes blazing with fury aimed my way.

If you follow me on social media you'll have seen the dozens of photos I've shared of my travels in Australia. I had an amazing time and definitely got the bug for down under. Both GLO and RARE will return to Australia in 2025 and I'm going to do my very best to go again. As I promised before I left, I did not come back empty handed. In fact, I brought back gifts for the member-exclusive giveaways for April and May. But more of that in a bit...

I've had a busy day visiting Melbourne today. We went to the South Melbourne Market, which is an amazing place and I may have bought a few things I probably shouldn't, but let's say April's Attic giveaway is turning out to be a little awesome. Even if I do say so myself. After sharing the outline for the first chapter in the Spencer brothers new series earlier I thought I'd come back to introduce you to Emery Livingston.

It's been a while since I shared anything from my new project. I'm sure I've mentioned before but I always struggle to start a new book. Once I start I can write it pretty quickly, but before I can do any writing I need to know exactly how to start the book. This is very frustrating for me because I have the story in my head an often feel that I need to find the right key to unlock this mind block. I'm happy to say I think I've got it, so today you'll get to meet Emery...

It's almost a week since I left home for Australia and five days since I arrived. Jet lag has been kicking my butt. I've never thought I'd suffer this much but it's my own fault. Usually I travel with someone, so on arrival we get busy and don't sleep until it's time to sleep. I catch up on the first night and then I'm good to go. This time, because I was rooming with Nora Phoenix and she was delayed by a day, I was left to my own devices, which meant I gave in to sleep. Sinc

Happy day my darling Attic friends! Can anyone believe we're already in April? Not me, that's for sure, especially as I wanted to have had so much more stuff done by now. But more of that in a minute. The winner of the March giveaway is Nikki!!

After last week's live video I ordered more t-shirts. Wanna see how they came out?

As promised, I opened my swag yesterday on a live. It felt like Christmas opening the package, even though I knew what was in it.

I teased you the other day and I'm going to tease you some more! My package has arrived and I'm dying to open it.

I ordered a few things to take to my signings in Australia. These are things for me but I'm wondering if I could get something for our...

This year I'm doing a few signings abroad. First in Australia and later in the year, hopefully in the US. This means I'll have access to author friends I wouldn't normally meet up with since I'm in Europe. I've been wondering if this could be a good chance to collect some all-time-favorite paperbacks to give away here in the Attic.

I'm looking for inspiration for our Micro Fics. Send me pics, memes or anything you want to be adapted into a Micro Fic, and watch as I post it here. The day we were introduced by my best friend I couldn’t take my eyes off his full lips. The day he came into class late, his hair sticking to his face from the heavy rain outside, I couldn’t take my eyes off the way his damp tracksuit clung to his thick quarterback thighs. The day he placed my coffee order without asking me, kno

Heartstring is back with my editor for the last round of edits. This last weekend I re-ordered chapters, added scenes and even an extra chapter. I feel the book is stronger and we get a better feel for who are Mik and Tyler. I certainly can't wait to for you all to read it. How about another teaser chapter? You'd like that? Keep on reading... TYLER* Now “This is like playing three truths and a lie,” Milo says. “Except we already know the truth,” Fletcher says. “Tyler is bangi
