Just gathering information as background for my next book!

Great day in Hay-on-Wye celebrating my brother's birthday. A town full of books, what more could you want? #authorlife

#LesFicFri *Delicate*

“How many years is it? It must be over twenty.” Her eyes sparkled, and the corners creased in delicate lines. “How lovely to see you.”

#LesFicFri *scream*

“Florrie thought she’d got away with the distraction. How could she say her past had come screaming in like an air raid siren, warning of disruption to come? She sighed.”

#LesFicFri *Run*

From The Unshuttered Window, a short story.

“I need to stop now before my soul unravels in a bleeding, self-indulgent mess.

I will run a bath and try to soak away my anguish, but no amount of water will dissolve my old regrets.”

Spent the day in the Midlands in the typical "midlands murk". Being cold and windy it was wonderful to get a warm drink at the wharf cafe in Norbury. #authorlife

#LesFicFri *Change*

From The Unshuttered Window, a short companion to On the Edge of Uncertainty. Available now.

“Printing should feel like power and inspiration, pushing out the words that will change the world, but instead of freedom, it is servitude.”

I had a great day in London with @KitStoneWrites going to Virginia Woolf's house, then to the Lee Miller exhibition at the Tate. She was an amazing woman, starting as a surrealist model and photographer, to becoming a brutally honest war photographer. Check it out. #SapphicRomance #AuthorLife

#LesFicFri *Unusual*
 whoops, a bit late...
"She cast a glance at Diana, but her stare was focused on the print in front of her. The silence wasn’t awkward so much as unusual, so devoid of their habitual spark of conversation."

Thanks for the fabulous review. I'm delighted you enjoyed On the Edge of Uncertainty!

Is it safer to live without love — or risk everything to feel it again? Florrie has survived heartbreak once. Dare she risk it again?
#SecondChanceRomance #SapphicLit #QueerFiction #BookThemes #WLWBooks #LoveAndRisk

“There’s something joyful and radical about writing older women in love. Their stories are quieter, braver, and often more real, because they know what they risk by choosing love again.”
#LoveAfter50 #OlderWomenInFiction #QueerRepresentation #SapphicLit #WomenWritingWomen

readers favourite lines, so far.
“To truly love is to be curious and open to the full orchestra of emotion...Our love is blended in friendship and companionship, and all the tiny acts of service and support.”
#BookQuotes #EmotionalReads #SapphicRomance #QueerLit

Diana is brilliant, aloof and lives with regret. She walked away once, and still faces the consequences.
#ComplexCharacters #QueerRomance #SapphicReads #LesbianFiction #LiteraryRomance

Florrie spent her life caring for everyone else and now she loves her life. Now she must decide whether she can risk loving again... with the woman who broke her heart.

I wrote this because we need stories of older lesbians falling in love.

"I’m very flattered. It feels like you’re asking me to run away to the circus, and that’s thrilling and exotic, but ultimately, I don’t know if this is me and my life and if I can follow you there and believe you won’t tire of me."
