First, a disclaimer. Iām an avowed pacifist. But Iām also not one to say āno thanks, Iād rather just stay here drinking fine wine and reading by the fireā when a new experience is on offer. So it was that I found myself on a hillside in New Zealand shooting at what the experts assured …
So, a very dear friend with a well-honed sense of humour gave me a gift to commemorate the birth of my book baby. Yes. Emerald Tablet-themed eyeshadow. š¤£ Either that, or it’s intended for use in a reptilian mating display. Needless to say, I am never wearing it out of the house. But it didn’t …
The anxiety runs thick in the veins when the reviews start rolling in. So when a corker or two arrives, itās an overwhelming relief. Yesterday, I had Brooklyn the Bookworm. Today, itās the Unseen Library. As an author, to know that someone who reads a lot and really knows what they’re talking about has enjoyed …
To those of you who have been, or are, enjoying a weekend break from the social medias, Iād hate you to miss out. Because… free stuff! And a chance to get your mitts on a copy of The Emerald Tablet plus some other Turkish-themed goodies. Head to yesterdayās post for all the details. Itās prompted …

So this just arrived in the post. š¤© Very, very exciting. I canāt WAIT to share this with you. Countdown to release day on 25 June.
Still meandering down memory lane. Couldnāt resist this one. The man referred to in yesterdayās post? Yeah, thatās him right there. What hope did I have? Iām only human, after all. At the end of our excavation season (yes, he was the dig romance that never ended), we clambered aboard one of the tiny wooden …
First sign that you should maybe pack it in for the day? When, rather than working on the plot for your next novel, you start arranging your Han Solo figurine in improbable locations. Witness for the prosecution – the tape dispenser. And, yes. Thatās the tape dispenser that did the Kessel Run in less than …
Multiple problems, to be honest. So, youāre writing along, minding your own business, when out of nowhere, the opportunity to describe … er, how to put this?… an intimate scene pops up (no pun intended).
