It seems like ages since I last blogged on here. Well, it is ages - it was March when I last put fingers to keyboard for this page. Shameful! Anyway, I've brushed the cobwebs off the blog and I promise to try to do better in future. 🙂 I hope you're all well and the …

I Felt the Fear and Did it Anyway ~ One Year On …
This week marks a real milestone for me. On the 29th March 2018, I took the huge step of leaving my day job and heading out into the world as a full-time writer. Was I scared? You bet your life, I was. Was I sad to be leaving? Well, I was sad to be leaving …

A Look Back at 2018 ~ a year of big changes and leaps of faith.
I meant to publish this post before the weekend but, typically, I was laid low with the dreaded lurgy: three days with practically no voice at all (my husband loved it!) a pounding headache and a soundtrack of sneezes and coughs.

Getting to Know: The Write Romantics ~ an Anniversary Special!
On April 1st, it will be five years since The Write Romantics were formed by Jo Bartlett and Julie Heslington. At the time, only one member of the group - Helen Phifer - had a publishing deal. Now, all ten of us are published and our writing careers have taken unexpected twists and turns. Most …
