Life imitates art … or is it the other way around?
Life imitates art – well, my book cover I looked at these flowers this morning in my living room and realised just how closely they resembled the image I used on the ‘new and improved’ cover of my first novel – The House of Secrets: Julia’s Story. I bought them at the local farmers’ market on the weekend. Roses are so beautiful. What I want to know is – how do you combine a full time career – I’m a publisher of magazines for Yaffa Media – with the burning desire to get out t

Sleepless night, light bulb moment, changing my first book’s title ……
OK, so I said I was getting the cover of my first novel The House of Secrets re-designed . And then I started thinking about the limitations of the title – it isn’t a horror book or a spine tingler – and I came to the decision that the title wasn’t right.

My book is FREE on Kindle …. but hurry or you’ll miss it
Poinciana in full flower in the street where I live Are you an e-book reader? I’m not especially wedded to the format although I have the Kobo and Kindle APPS on my iPad. I know it is convenient particularly for commuters so I’ve released THE HOUSE OF SECRETS on Kindle and it’s FREE to download for a short period …. just a few more days. I hope if you like it you’ll tell me. If you don’t think my book is any good, we can all be very grown up about it. Very soon I’m going to s
