My first People's Friend Pocket Novel is out this week

My first People's Friend Pocket Novel - At Bowerly Hall - is out this week in WH Smiths, larger branches of Tesco and other book selling shops.

It is a Victorian romantic suspense story set in the wilds of Yorkshire.

My latest Linford Romance has been published:

Her Highland Laird

Fleeing her unfaithful fiance, Lara sticks a pin in the map and vows to go wherever it lands. She finds herself in the cool summer of the Scottish Highlands, landing a job at the Invermalloch Estate.
Here she meets Cal, the brooding Laird who is hiding from his own painful past. A powerful attraction between them slowly turns to love. But when Cal is called back to America, will this love survive? Or will Lara's Highland Laird prove to be only a summer romance?

Finding Her Perfect Family

Fleeing as far as she can from an unhappy home life, Amelia Knight arrives at the tropical island of Trinita to work as a nanny at the Grenville estate. As she battles insects and tropical heat, she must also fight her increasing attraction to baby Lucio's widowed father, Leo Grenville - a man whose heart has been broken and is determined never to love again.
Amelia must conquer stormy weather and reveal a desperate secret before she can find her perfect family to love forever.

Available from Amazon or ask for it at your local library.

Writing Process Blog Tour

This post is part of the Writing Process Blog Tour and I'm very grateful to Janice Preston for inviting me to take part. Janice writes Historical Romances for Harlequin Mills and Boon and here is a little bit about her:

Janice lives in the West Midlands with her second husband and two cats. She is excitedly waiting for the publication in August 2014 of her first novel, Mary and the Marquis – a Regency romance for Harlequin Mills and Boon Historicals.

So, I've been given four questions to answer and here they are:

1. What am I working on?

I am at that exciting moment of being 'between books' and letting my head fill up with ideas, plots and characters before getting started on my next project. All I know at the moment is that it will be a Romance.

2. How does my work differ from others of its genre?

I think it comes down to 'voice' which  is the individual way each author chooses to tell their story and seems to be vital when submitting to publishers of romance. I read in a 'how to' book that it can take a while of practising before one finds one's writing voice so it shows that all the scribbling over the years hasn't gone to waste!

3. Why do I write what I do?

That's easy - it's because I love reading romances and I absolutely love writing them and knowing there is going to be a Happy Ever After no matter what.

4. How does my writing process work?

I plan out my chapters and make sure I've got at least one major scene or character development in each. Then I start to write and as I do so, my plan evolves and changes. I edit in the mornings before I start to write for the day and I aim for 3000 words. I only get time to write two days a week so it's not as fast as it may seem.

If you'd like to find out more about my writing day and my new EBook coming out soon, I'm featured on the Romantic Novelists' Association Blog on May 23rd and would love to get some comments here and also over there if you can. Thanks!
