Midlife Recorder Audiobooks?
Reading Time: 17 minutesI’ve been asked so many times recently if I plan to release audiobooks of my cosy Scottish contemporary fantasy series. And if not now, when? It’s a question that warms my heart because it shows how much my readers enjoy my stories and want to experience them in new ways. Audiobooks are a wonderful format—they’re […]

Snippet From Code Yellow For My VR Gang
Reading Time: 13 minutes So a reader from Arizona, Suze J-S asked for more chapters of Code Yellow. That wasn’t happening. But I had this scene, much of which is now surplus to requirements. I thought it might help feed the VR (Voracious Reader) Gang. If you like it, thank Suze. If you don’t blame me. If you haven’t […]

Gargantuan book, brain ache cuisine and happiness

The first reports from my FABs (beta readers) are coming back on Code Yellow in Gretna Green.

It’s OUT! House Party in Gretna Green
Reading Time: < 1 minute So unexpectedly, we have a novella. Well, not that unexpectedly because I’m a woman of my word. In the free bonus epilogue to Ties that Bond in Gretna Green I made an offer. You might call it a bribe—but I couldn’t possibly comment. I said if my readers would be kind enough to help me by leaving reviews, then […]

Heilan Coos, Mabon and Red Celts
Reading Time: 4 minutes Known as Highland Cows to the sane non-Celtic parts of the world, the coos are having all kinds of fun in the next few books.

Pre-order for Seeing Red in Gretna Green
Reading Time: 3 minutes Seeing Red Pre-order is available. The official pre-order date is 9th November but actually I’m aiming for 30th October 2023. If you’re wondering why � Because Amazon has some very strict rules about pre-orders. You can bring them forward (earlier) any time you like with absolutely no hassle. BUT try to change the date to […]

Alpha Reader, Beta Reader, ARC Reader or Proof Reader? What’s the Difference?
Reading Time: 8 minutes Alpha readers? Beta readers? Proof readers? Many people are confused about the differences between the different types of advance readers who help an author to ensure their book is in the best possible shape before publication. I certainly was before I started writing fiction. But it’s actually pretty straightforward. I can only speak for myself, […]
