The end?
It's been a while since I blogged. We've had a very stressful house move, and I've been rushed off my feet. I am only now finding some time to breathe. I have the edits through for my next book in the Spotlight Series. This one is another reality TV themed romance-fest! Inspired by a particular … Continue reading The end?
I’m a Celebrity – best moments
I love watching I’m a Celebrity... Get me out of here! I grew up with Ant and Dec on TV, first of all on Byker Grove, then later on SMTV: Live, and I love the fact they now present one of my favourite shows.

Strictly Come Dancing – groundbreakers
Strictly Come Dancing is one of the most popular shows on our screens, and it's had some amazing moments - high-scoring routines, romantic dramas, snipes and fallouts, giving me lots of inspiration for my latest novel Strictly Christmas Spirit.

Who doesn't love watching a famous person turn their formidable talents to a totally new discipline? Personally, I adore shows like these, and they helped to inspire my Spotlight Series of books. Strictly on Ice was heavily … Continue reading Can’t teach a celeb new tricks?
Top of the Pops
In the 1990s and early 2000s, boyband stars were kings. My bedroom was plastered with posters of Take That, the Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Boyzone, and Westlife. I listened to A1’s albums on repeat, sang along to Blue, danced along to Five, swooned to Boyz II Men. So when I was writing my latest heart throb … Continue reading Top of the Pops
Love survives
I’m a big fan of survival shows. I love the drama, the shock factor, the entertainment. Survival shows inspired my latest novel Celebrity SOS: Love Survives, about a group of British celebrities in Alaska. Two of the group, Finn and Katerina, share a past and must find a way to survive not just blizzards and … Continue reading Love survives
The thrill of survival
I don’t know what it is about survival shows and films that enthralls me so much. I just love to see people tackle the most inhospitable environments, watching as they take on parched deserts and wild jungles, scale mountains and battle blizzards, all from the comfort of my own sofa. Survival shows have long fascinated … Continue reading The thrill of survival
