To Wyndham’s Theatre, London, to see Born With Teeth, a brilliant, dynamic, fire-cracker of a play that imagines a relationship between Shakespeare and Marlowe.Terrific chemistry between the actors makes this two-hander an exhilarating piece of theatre. Highly recommended

Autumn is coming and the leaves are turning brown, but it was still warm enough to write in the garden this afternoon.

Today I’m celebrating ten years as a published author! My debut romantic novel, French Kissing, now titled Meet Me In Paris, came out on 15th August 2015! I’ll never forget the thrill of seeing my book in a bookshop in Paris!

For my American friends: I’ve just seen that my dual timeline romance, Rome For The Summer, is currently only 99c, but I don’t know how long for! Go, go, go!

That great moment when . . . You start writing at 9.00 am and get so caught up in your fictional world that suddenly it’s 3.30 and you’ve forgotten to have lunch. Love it when that happens!

I live in the UK. Somebody in Australia and somebody in Germany and somebody in the US has bought my book, Dancing In The Moonlight. I love that people on three continents are reading a book that I wrote.

Book outside a stage door

Book outside a stage door

My book, Dancing In The Moonlight, at the stage door of a West End theatre. The words carved into the doorframe gave me the idea for the quotes carved above the doors at the Nightingale Playhouse where, in the book, my dancer heroine, Nell, longs to perform.

Dancing In The Moonlight is centre stage!
A dancer. A choreographer. A new West End musical. The scene is set for romance . . .

Dancing in the Moonlight sounds like a beautiful blend of dreams and love! ✨ I adore stories that celebrate second chances and the magic of friendship. They remind me that even in the shadows, joy can sparkle! #books #Booksky
