My guest today is novelist Christina Garbutt. Christina and I both attended the Romantic Novelists' Association annual conference in July but, unfortunately, we didn't get to meet, which is a shame. Like me, Christina has written pocket novels for DC Thomson and, also like me, she is partial to chocolate muffins. Unlike me, however, she …

Five Photos … with Miriam Drori
My guest on the blog today is author Miriam Drori. Miriam writes both fiction and non-fiction. Her own experiences with social anxiety (something I am all too familiar with, myself!) led her to writing a book about the disorder. She has also written short stories and romantic fiction. Miriam lives in Jerusalem and is a …
Five Photos … with Eunice Nascimento
My guest on the blog today is author Eunice Nascimento. I love getting a glimpse into other people's childhoods and Eunice's sounds fascinating.

Five Photos … with Rosie Travers
My guest today is Rosie Travers who is, in her own words, "an international jet-setter, cat lover and author". I'm not sure if that's the correct order! Rosie is kindly sharing her five photos with us today, and it's definitely clear that she loves to travel. Over to you, Rosie. My five …

Five Photos … with Helena Fairfax
My guest today is writer and editor Helena Fairfax. I bumped into Helena at an event in York some months ago, but somehow missed her at the Romantic Novelists' Association conference, even though I obviously attended at least one of the same talks!

Why I Love Yorkshire: Guest post by Sharon Booth
I’m delighted to be the guest on Tracey Scott-Townsend’s blog today, explaining why I set my books in Yorkshire.
I’m happy to welcome author Sharon Booth onto my website today. She tells us all about why Yorkshire is so important in her life, and why it inevitably found its way into all of her novels. Make yourself a cup of Yorkshire tea and sit back and enjoy a taste of Yorkshire, with Sharon.
