An existing interest: exploded
I’ve always been a journal person. I’ve always written down story ideas, made notes and such, but I’ve never done it creatively before, or kept diaries or planners or even kept that crucial dream diary by the side of my bed.
I never quite grasped the possibility of journalling, of creating art-journals or anything like that. I thought my days were ( Read more... ) -
August, the busy month!
Hello mateys!
August really is one of the busiest months when it comes to writerly eventsand things so here’s a bit of a run down what I’m up to. Please note that all the highlighted bits will open in new linked pages if you click on them.
Oh, but before I get to that, allow me to toot a little horn. My rather splendid husband, Mark de Jager, now ( Read more... ) -

Hello folks
I’ve decided to pop along and talk to you today about the importance of friends. I’ve talked about this before briefly but really, I’d like to iterate a bit more.

“There is no real ending. It’s just the place where you stop the story.”
The above is a quote by Frank Herbert. He wot wrote Dune. I suspect he knows what he speaks of.
The reason I used the quote? Judged, the final book in the trilogy is done. It’s been sent off to typesetters just this week past and well, it’s really kind of terrifying, you know?

Imaginative title here
- I really am so bad at titles for blogposts, and you know, I feel bad because in theory I should be able to word and word hard.

I finished writing Judged, the last book in the Blackhart trilogy. *gulps* I sent it off to my agent to read and then went off on holiday to the Dordogne, France. It was a ( Read more... ) -
Where does the time go?
Oh, I know: it goes into nonstop writing and worrying and biting nails.
What’s been happening lately? Well, the second book in the trilogy got a cover reveal. And it’s rather epic. Isn’t it the most gorgeous thing (apart from Banished’s cover, that is!)?

Long time no blog!
I am so sorry that I’ve not been to blog - last time was over two months ago in APRIL. Holy smokes, where does the time go?
What have I been up to?
Well: there was another edit of Vowed with my editor Bella, then we did a copy edit with the copy editor (copy editors are the best, true story) and in the meantime I got stuck into book 3 and am ( Read more... ) -
Q&A with Kit and Aiden
I wrote this up for Becky from Becky’s Barmy Book Blog but I thought I’d repost it here as formatting is a complete bitch on the these blogs. It’s a small script I wrote for Kit and Aiden, basically being forced to interview one another. It goes a bit weird and hits the fourth wall.
