Take one of my courses!

I adore teaching. I love breaking down something complicated, teaching it to someone else, and seeing them get it – and then apply it themselves!

I used to teach a lot of workshops, speak at events, and mentor, and I’ve spent some time working out how I can bring those elements into my writing career.

One of the things I really miss about my old day jobs was the amount of teaching that they included.

So I decided to do something about that! After all, I’m an entrepreneur – an authorpreneur if you will. First off, I’ve created two writing courses specifically for authors, based on my skills. You can find them here.

Secondly, I teach courses through the RWF throughout the year, based on my historical and craft specialties. You can always seen what courses are coming up here.

And thirdly, I offer developmental and line editing (separately and together!) for authors who want to up their game. Get in touch to talk with me about this, if this sounds interesting.

Thank you for reading!

HUGE NEWS: I’ve written a book for Penguin!

I cannot believe how long I have been sitting on this news…I have written a steamy contemporary romance for Penguin! It’s a celebrity fake dating romance packed with hilarious joy, found family, and of course, an outrageously hot hero and a heroine who isn’t quite sure what she wants…

What do you get when a celebrity and a fan meet on a dating app?

Meet Jessy and Patrick.

All Jessy wants is to figure out what to do with her life. She hates her job, lives in a crappy London apartment and her love life is non-existent. . .That is until her twin sister begs her to join her newly launched dating app, Butterflies.

Lead singer and front man of These Exiles, Patrick just wants a break after coming off tour. But when he’s mistakenly arrested, his record label insists on doing damage control. Their latest scheme? Getting Patrick on the dating apps and into a relationship.

When Jessy and Patrick match on Butterflies, neither plan to actually meet. . . but then they literally bump into each other and chaos ensues. With their faces plastered all over the internet, and Patrick’s record label jumping on the publicity, the two find themselves unexpectedly ‘dating.’

Can they keep up the farce in front of the whole world, or will they start to believe their own lie?

What’s on my desk?

If you’re anything like me, you love to know what creatives have on their desk! So I thought I would write a short post to give you some insight on what is on my desk right now…

(No photos because…okay, it’s messy. Like, real messy).

SO:

First off, my computer. I have a MacBook Pro which allows me to be a full time author, it offers the speed and cleverness and battery life that I need (can you tell that I’m not a technical person?). That means I also have a few adapters, chargers, and my headphones. I can’t work without music, and I have playlists for every stage of the creative process: from plotting, writing, and editing to strategy, promo, and admin.

Next I have my black and gold lamp, a gorgeous one from IKEA that I just adore. I once read that every room should have something black in it to ground it, and I’ve tried to take that to heart.

Alongside that I have my HP printer! It scans as well as prints which is so important for when I need to sign and scan contracts (hint hint 🥰)

Depending on the book I’m writing, I will always have a few research books on the desk. When I was writing my historical non-fiction book, REGINA, you could barely see my desk, it was so covered in books!

Alongside that I have notebooks and pens, absolutely crucial to jot down any brilliant ideas that might derail my current writing session, but I don’t want to forget.

And last but by no means least, I have all the essentials to (try to!) keep me healthy: a large bottle of water, and some (not so) healthy snacks to help motivate me. Yes, I am basically a toddler, I am very food motivated 😅

So there you go! That’s what is on my desk.

If you’re a creative, let me know what you have on your desk in the comments! If you’re not, let me know what you think of my desk – does anything surprise you? Anything you thought would be there and isn’t?

Happy birthday to meeeee

Happy birthday to me!

Yup, this week is my birthday. After thirty I stopped counting (okay, it wasn’t that long ago), but one of the joys of getting older is that I care less about the number, and what my age is giving me.

Joy.

Happiness.

Contentment.

All the books.

READ NOW: Chance Would Be A Fine Thing

I’m so excited for you to enjoy this best friends to lovers book that I’ve poured my heart and soul into! Read this book NOW – free in Kindle Unlimited!

Wilfred Zouch, Duke of Aynor, has been in love with his best friend, Miss Irene Chance, since…well, since forever. And she has no idea.

It’s not precisely her fault: Wilfred still hasn’t told her.

Besotted with the woman who only sees him as a brother, it is her actual brother who suggests to Wilfred that he should make Irene jealous.

And so he does. By pretending to court another lady.

It’s all part of a clever plan in Wilfred’s mind, but Irene finds herself absolutely mortified that her best friend—her Wilfred! —would even consider courting someone without telling her.

Feelings of anger, rage, and a strange sort of possessiveness rise and yet Irene cannot for the life of her understand why.
Until a late-night conversation and a little too much of her father’s liquor led to kisses that neither of them can ignore…or explain.

Why can’t Wilfred admit his affection for his best friend? Why does Irene keep laughing when anyone suggests that the two of them may be well suited?

And if chance would be a fine thing…what happens when the pretend courting with the other woman goes horrendously awry?

This full length novel is a steamy Regency romance with a happily ever after, no cliffhangers, and is part of a series that can be read in any order.
