Strictly Christmas Spirit has a touch of Strictly … Continue reading Publication day – Strictly Christmas Spirit
I love a good romance, but for me, it needs to have a happy ending. I feel so terribly disappointed when there isn't a happy ever after, although I know that sometimes the story just has to finish that way. For example, the ending of Me before you, by Jo Jo Moyes, had me in … Continue reading Happy ever afters

Survival shows have long fascinated … Continue reading The thrill of survival

When I signed up to volunteer in Honduras for six months, I never thought that I would end up staying there for 3.5 years! From January 2010 to July 2013, I lived in the Central American country of Honduras. I’d never written a story inspired by my time there until I was asked to contribute … Continue reading An unexpected adventure
