  • Inspiring Places

    Apologies for the radio silence, readers. I went on holiday, and somehow all my plans to get ahead of myself and schedule posts before I went didn’t work out. I suspect they didn’t work out because I was sadly behind on deadlines. I’d intended a week completely free of writing to unwind entirely, but that…

  • Do you binge?

      Excuse the shameless self-promo today, readers, but I’m wildly excited to report that not only is my series, A Clockwork War, complete, but it’s now also available as a bargain-priced boxed set. Bingeing a series once it’s all available is apparently THE way to consume fiction these days. I feel out of step since…

  • November means nano

    Another tricky week, this week, readers. The Shattered Worlds Read Along finishes today with Miranda Hardy’s Death Knocks, except that I’d already read that, having got myself a bit out of order (it’s fabulous, btw). So there wasn’t a book from the collection that I felt as though I needed to read. So, I haven’t…

  • Shattered Worlds Challenge: by the skin of my teeth

    Well, it was looking like I might not manage a Shattered Worlds book report this week. Life’s been manic and I haven’t had as much time for reading as I would have liked. However, I’m delighted to report that I reached THE END of The Magic or the Rulership by Emily Martha Sorensen while I…

  • Shattered Worlds Challenge – a surprising Scourge

    This week I read A G Henley’s The Scourge. This took me by surprise in a lot of very good ways. What seemed at first to be a pre-industrial fantasy world turned out to be set in a post-apocalyptic future. There were other twists like that, but I don’t want to give away any spoilers.…

  • Hooray for holiday reading!

    Oh my goodness, I thought I might slacken off when I didn’t have my Alphabet Reading Challenge to keep my nose in a book. I’m delighted to say that hasn’t happened at all! Since blogging last I’ve had a lovely week off, taking a holiday by the seaside. I also caught up on some of…

  • Summer Scavenger Hunt

    Summer is nearly upon us. Have you got your summertime reading lined up? If not (and even if you have), check this out. In June, the Alliance of Young Adult Authors is sponsoring a massive young adult scavenger hunt. This is a chance to meet some new authors, grab a bunch of free books, and…

  • Check out my next project!

    I am so excited to share this with you – my next release will be part of a set with 22 other novels by a group of uber-talented YA writers: Shattered Worlds Escape into twenty-three epic worlds that will leave you breathless.     .99 for a limited time! From dystopian nightmares to gorgeous steampunk…

  • We interrupt our usual broadcast…

    I’m so sorry! My blog this week should, of course, be all about my Q book. However, it’s gone a bit pear-shaped. I had it all worked out: on holiday I was going to finish my P book (managed that) and find and read my Q book. A nice plan, but I hadn’t realised how…

  • Got (half) a minute?

    I’m not going to write about my free reading challenge today because I’m too excited about the launch of Discord next week. Most of my head-space has been taken up with marketing stuff: graphics and promotions and adverts and blog posts. The part I’ve truly enjoyed is creating a video trailer for Discord. I found the…
