I might detest the early school runs - but views like this make it worth it
A chilly -6 this morning, but it won't take long for that Spanish sun to melt away the sparkle on the branches

I was so ill all last week - today I am TRYING to catch up and 'eat all my frogs' before shutting down for Christmas - but life keeps getting in the way!
I've got post to arrange, emails to reply to and messages to reply to
So - what am I doing? Staring at my list wondering where to start! 😂

Success!

10 days before Christmas & we have done ALL our Christmas shopping!

Off to Germany on Friday to the BEST Christmas market. Finally, a stress free, fun, family Christmas!

2024 was a year of change, this Christmas is all about relaxing with zero stress ❤️

Today has been an 'admin' day - setting up my diary for the next year & making sure this year is all 'wrapped up' 😉

Thank you so much - I'm spending today reading your ARC, so maybe being poorly has it's perks. x

I think all those born on a Friday the 13th are given just a little bit extra 'star dust'... I know mine was (she's the one my debut book was based on!)

It's #Friday13th - I'm curious: are you superstitious?
It's a GOOD luck day in our house, our gorgeous (very preemie) daughter was born on Friday13th - & despite being told she might not survive, she screamed her way into the world & fought every battle to stay

To ALL readers out there - we KNOW books are expensive, and reading should be accessible to all. That's why Libraries are SO important. Borrowing books/audio books rather than buying still helps an author.. and keeps alive the places that inspired us to write in the first place.

Thank you - although I should point out that I got married just after having a baby (and was carrying quite a bit of weight around my stomach). So I was starting with a bigger dress size than I would normally wear lol
My boobs in particular have shrunk 😂😂😂

I don't feel old enough to have a daughter doing GCSE's & it really doesn't feel that long since I got married!
Time is a tricky bugger - it sneaks up on you when you're not looking

Well, today has been surreal - almost 17 years to the day he proposed, I found myself back in my wedding dress... with our daughter taking pictures for her GCSE photography mock exam!

Woke up this morning to the first frost of the year at #GranjitaWilson - the way the morning sun hits those changing leaves.. 🍁 ❄️

It’ll be 18degree by lunchtime… not bad for end of November

#ThisChildofMine was a book of the soul; in my mind, I knew how Stephanie looked. Writing dialogue, I imagined Amy Adams, and this picture was pinned above my desk. 
Who would YOU cast as Stephanie? Do you need to 'see' the character in your mind to be invested in the story?

It’s Sunday - I’m gonna chill for the day .. and with the final outlander episodes releasing, hubby and I have decided to start back at the beginning in preparation for the final episodes!
Stew in the oven, coffee in hand and sexy Scottish men on TV. The PERFECT Sunday! #Outlander

Oh I couldn’t agree more. Especially as most midlist authors go into this process thinking they will at least get a LITTLE bit of effort and rarely do 🙄

My eldest daughter is about to start her iGCSE Mock in Film Studies...
This whole week has been stressful & next week will be even harder, but this exam - she's so excited about and feels ready.
Watching her study something she's passionate about really does make me smile
