    Back in the Saddle Again

    Holy smokes it’s 2019! Hope you all had a spectacular break over the holiday period, filled with matching Christmas jumpers, spiked eggnog and Home Alone. I’ve been on a small hiatus for the last two months – I even managed to have a quiet New Years! I’m usually gallivanting around…

    Ten things that make writers mad

    Writers are a peculiar breed. Even though we live all over the globe in a variety of different habitats and abodes (and display a surprising range of personality traits) as a collective bunch, writers are often marred by a particular set of idiosyncrasies… like the things that drive us bat…

    Ask the blogger: can you really make money from blogging?

    I have always been curious to find out how much other people make from their blogs (and I’m guessing you might be curious too!) Do they use their blog as a main source of income? Is that even possible? And, more importantly, do they make more money than I do?…

    How to write freely and without fear

    Have you ever sat down to work on your novel, only to have your fingers seize up and your imagination wither into a million atomic-seized particles? And was it because an adverb accidentally slipped out and you have no clue how to describe Becky’s great hair without saying it looked…

    How to show, not tell

    Back in June, I attended a NEWC writing workshop called ‘Kiss and Kill’, presented by Australian crime author, Bronwyn Parry (who writes romantic suspense novels).

    I’m really curious to see what everyone’s favourite book is and have been meaning to ask this question for ages. What is the one and only book you couldn’t live without? You know, the whole desert island thing. If anyone is like me, I can imagine the answers will be…

    What life is like sitting on a criminal jury

    Hey everyone! You may have noticed I’ve been a bit quiet lately, and I promise I have a really interesting excuse. I’ve been serving on a jury for a criminal trial over the last 5 weeks! We weren’t permitted to talk about the trial while it was ongoing, but now…
