#RomFicFeb26 Day 23: Main character’s greatest strength?
Edie Moore in A New Start at the Beach Hotel has determination & treats everyone with respect, whatever their class (unlike some!).
Determination is a common characteristic among many of my characters.

#RomFicFeb26 Day 22: What are your support systems as a writer?
Writing friends!
Some I've known for years from writing classes, conferences or writing weeks, & we’ve all supported each other on our journeys to publication.
@romanticnovelists.bsky.social & the SWWJ are also great support systems.
#RomFicFeb26: Day 21 - Do you plot your books? Yes, definitely, but there's always some wriggle room for changes and new ideas.

#RomFicFeb26- Day 17: WHERE DO YOU WRITE?
Although I have a study which houses most of my writing things - folders, research books, notebooks, a desk etc, I find myself mostly writing in the dining room at the moment.

#RomFicFeb26 Days 13 & 14: FAVE #ROMANCE BOOK/AUTHOR
Many years ago, I found ‘The Herb of Grace’ by Elizabeth Goudge, which I loved and still do. I read her other novels, including the 2 others in the Damerosehay trilogy and enjoyed those too.

Day 6 of #romficfeb26 - introduce the time period.
My #books are set firmly in the here and now — #midlife, modern life, Wi-Fi included.
But the setting is #tuscany, where history is everywhere. I love that contrast: contemporary women finding their way in timeless places.
#womensfiction #amazon
#RomFicFeb26 Day 6: Introduce your time period
The time period for both my Beach Hotel and my War in the Valleys books is World War 1. The war would have had different impacts on the settings of these two series.
#RomanceBook #RomanticFiction #FictionBooks
#RomFicFeb26 Day 5: Introduce your book’s setting
My Beach Hotel series is set in Littlehampton in Sussex, where I was brought up in the 1960s and 70s.
The Wartime in the Valleys series is set in a coal mining village in the Rhymney Valley in Wales, which I call Dorcalon.

In all its many forms, love has the power to shine light into the darkness, inspire hope where there was none and help people understand that no matter what they may face, they don’t have to go through it alone.
