by Emily
I’m not a mother, but Mothering Sunday (Mother’s Day here in the UK) is not always about that. It’s about the power of motherhood, of maternal love, of caring for the mothers around us.
Bittersweet endings

Why I love being an author
by Emily
The world is starting to open up again, and I had a wonderful time with some family a few weeks ago. Nothing complicated; good food, good wine, great conversation.

How they were often ahead of their field, capturing the zietgeist of the culture at the time.

Freedom is coming!
by Emily
I don’t know about you, but I have found the last year very hard, and very strange.

Do your friends read your books?
by Emily
Everyone has a hobby. For some people, it’s a sport: swimming, rugby, tennis. For others, it’s something that is more personal: gaming, or learning a language. And then for others, it’s creative: knitting, crafting, music, or writing. I have wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember. My parents even found some of my earliest school reports from when I … Read More Do your friends read your books?
