Great Review for Play Me

Play Me has received a lovely review from artist/writer, Kit Domino. Click here to read the review.

While you're there, take the opportunity to look around Kit's blog and website. Her gallery of paintings is not to be missed. Beautiful landscapes and bluebells so realistic you can almost smell them.

New Cover!

Here's my gorgeous new cover for forthcoming release from The Wild Rose Press. Cover artist Kim Mendoza did a simply fabulous job. Just waiting on a release date. Exciting.

Here's the blurb:

Alexander “Bull” McKinley’s reputation as a hard-nosed businessman is tested when an old Fairy Gate and local superstition stand in the way of a lucrative development contract. Alex has his hands full trying to convince the villagers to play ball, without the unexpected—and definitely unwanted—attraction to the feisty redhead leading the revolt.

Dee Ashman detests those who put profit before people, and she’s damned if an arrogant, insensitive and, okay, wildly attractive capitalist is going to destroy the symbolic heart of the village and break her beloved grandmother’s heart.

But they cannot deny the desire that burns between them nor the unleashed passion neither can resist.

Wild Rose is Five!

The Wild Rose Press are celebrating their five year anniversary with more than $500.00 worth of prizes.

Delights of Dartmouth

Today I'm blogging about our recent break in Dartmouth, Devon at Over the Backyard Fence. One of the highlights was a visit to Agatha Christie's house at Greenway and reading insights from her scrapbook about her writing process. So good to know that even the awesome, prolific and genius writers have their moments when it just won't come together :))

Stop ePiracy!

Fabulous letter from Nora Roberts supporting Copyright Infringement Legislation. Great to have the big guns on board.

Goodbye to a Genius

How sad. John Barry has died at the age of 77. He is surely one of the greatest modern composers and his Out of Africa soundtrack is one of my all time faves. His music is so distinctive, enigmatic and simply beautiful. What an amazing talent and how lucky we were to have him in the world.

Rest easy, John, knowing you left the world a better place for your music.

Bath's Christmas Market

The Bath Christmas Market is in full swing and despite disruption caused by the snow (very early for us this year)there are as many people, if not more, enjoying the experience.

Bath is a lovely place all year round, but during December it becomes something special. The added bonus this year is walking through the city with the surrounding hills blanketed in snow - it's quite something.

Loads to do here in December: there's the Market, of course, plus the opportunity for festive dining at the Roman Baths and Pump Rooms (where incidentally I'll be enjoying afternoon tea next week with a friend). Add to this the Thermae Spa which is very atmospheric at night, especially if you brave the rooftop pool with its vista of the night-lit Abbey and rooftops of Bath.

Ah, how I love this city :)
