Sorry it’s been a while since my last blog post — but hey, it was  the holidays! So far, 2026 has been off to a great start. I’m learning so much, even now, almost a year after publishing my first book — which still surprises me in the best way. Book 3 is currently with the editor, and Book 4 is out with beta readers, so behind the scenes I’ve been planning events for the year ahead and doing a bit of research into what images and videos resonate most with new readers. It’s b

December has arrived with that cosy “curl up with a book” energy — and I’m embracing it wholeheartedly. With Book 3 off for proofreading and edits, I’ve given myself permission to catch up on reading… and I even counted how many I’ve finished this year. Turns out I’ve read 30 books  in 2025!

I honestly can't beleive it's been more than a month since i posted! Time really does fly! Apologies again but I've been keeping social media up to date so if you're worried you've missed out check me out on Facebook, Instagram and/or TikTok!

I finally let go of Book 3 and sent it off for its proofread and edit — and

October has been one of those months that reminds me exactly why I started this journey. Between library visits, new readers, and my very first event stall, it’s been busy, emotional, and completely worth it. My visits to Corstorphine  and Kirkliston Libraries  were such lovely experiences — smaller, more personal events where I got to chat with readers who genuinely care about stories and the people behind them. The conversations ranged from writing routines to character cho

After the first leg of my UK tour, I swapped book groups and signings for something a little different — a day dedicated purely to writing, reflection, and learning. The second part of my adventure took me all the way to Gillingham, Kent , for a one-day writing retreat with the lovely Karen from Mabel & Stanley Publishing . ⸻ ✍️  A Day of Words and Community If you follow me on social media, you’ll have already seen a few snippets, but it really was such a great day. It was w
