The topic today is how much of myself is in my stories. The short answer: Quite a bit. The long answer: It’s hard not to insert little bits of wisdom I’ve learned or some of my own experiences into my stories. Not enough so that the characters aren’t beings in their own right but sometimes…
I have a notoriously bad memory. I can barely remember the events that happened a week before most of the time. I literally have to write down character details so I don’t forget as I write whenever I write longer stories so I don’t bother my writing buddy with questions like, ‘What colour eyes does…
Hi all! Several authors at Evernight Publishing have gotten together to attempt a blog challenge in an attempt to get us out of our collective shells. Every Thursday we have a new prompt and the goal is to try and post every week for the entirety of 2019. I’m certainly going to try! This week’s…
I just wanted to wish you all a wonderful new year! I hope you see and do things you’ve never done before and that everything you strive for is within reach! 2018 felt like a slow year for me, so when I looked back at my stats to see what I’d actually done, I was…

I know I’ve been pretty quiet lately but for the past six months I’ve been busy with the team at X4PE Studios developing a game! PAWS is an open world RPG where you play the role of Paws, a kitten lost in a fantasy world inhabited by dragons and strange technology. He needs your help…
After playing the game for nine days now, I’ve had my fill of frustration. I can imagine others are feeling the same way as well. I have friends and family in particular who have been very vocal about their disappointment with the game. Like everyone else in the beginning, the novelty of being able to…
By now you’ve probably heard about Pokémon Go the new app that’s taking the world by storm. For me it’s a trip down memory lane to when my daughter was tiny and loved the anime. It’s incredible how quickly and easily the names of the Pokémon are coming back to me. What’s also amazing is…
I’m a bit of an app addict. I admit that freely. Not all of them are for productivity. Some are there in case I get stuck on something and need to free my brain for a little while. Others manage to do both like the one I’m going to talk about today. I’ve gotten quite…
Breaking Rossi’s Rules has been nominated for TRR Readers’ Choice Awards – Summer 2016 in the Erotic Romance – Contemporary Romance Category! As you might know, this book was a first for me in many ways and it would be lovely for it to win a prize! I’ve already gotten 2 votes and only need…

Two bits of news to share with you all today. First, Weathering the Storm is now available for preorder from Totally Bound. The story of how Maia and Alex find each other and fall in love again against the odds is one of my favourite books to date so I hope you’ll check it out….
So I opened up the latest BTS Book Review magazine (July/August, Issue #28) and had a flip through before getting down to work (or at least some semblance of it while I melt in the heat). But as I perused and jotted down titles and names of authors I wanted to check out I found…
So here are a few pics from my recent trip to London. If you follow my Instagram you’ve probably already noticed lol! I had a fabulous time meeting up with a long time friend. We took in a few sights, museums and galleries mostly, and wandered around aimlessly the rest of the time. Definitely have…

To ask me a question click. The Romance Review is celebrating its 4th anniversary with a big party! Over 300…
Sorry I haven’t been posting as regularly as I’d like. My life currently consists of writing and revisions at the moment. But, as I was sorting through my old photos, I thought ‘Hey, why not do a feature on the blog to show them off?’ So every Friday I’ll post a pic or two. Beware…
*Spoiler Alerts* Game of Thrones has been in my TBR pile for years. Yes YEARS. I just never seem to have the time I need to devote to a story so vast. I’ve made a few attempts to start but from the moment I read the first paragraph I knew that I had to focus…
Here are a trio of shots from my latest little adventure. You may notice a running theme with these ones 🙂
It’s always fun to try something new and creative to get the juices flowing. I can’t remember how I came across this but I had way too much fun with this thing not to share. I feel like Imissed my calling (and maybe era) 😛 Did I inspire you? Make one of your own at…
