Teaser Tuesday: THE OTHER DAUGHTER
I haven’t shared much about The Other Daughter with you yet, have I? I’m still deep in the middle of revisions, so the book doesn’t feel entirely like a book yet. That’s the odd thing about revisions– once the draft of the manuscript is done, voila! There’s a book. But then along come revisions, and…

Read MorePink XII has a cover!
The twelfth and final Pink Carnation novel, The Lure of the Moonflower, has a cover! That fort in the background? That’s an actual fort in Portugal that plays a significant role in the book. There’s something a little bittersweet about having the cover of the final Pink book in hand. I began writing the first…

Read MoreThe Book Fair
Tonight, I’m signing books at my old school’s book fair. There’s something about going back to your old school that creates its own time warp. In my head, it’s suddenly 1989 again and I’m in a kilt. Or 1995 (still in a kilt!). And I remember, very vividly, just what that book fair meant to…
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
Since I’m immersed in dread revisions, the horrible, scary bit where you’ve torn apart the book but haven’t put it back together yet (and are beginning to wonder whether the original version was really that bad or if maybe you should be giving it all up and trying sheep-farming), it was time for some serious…
