Feel the Danger  is officially out in the wild, and it still feels a little surreal. There’s something special about release week. Seeing the book out there, knowing people are starting the next part of Tom and Iliana’s story, never gets old. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported the launch so far. Whether you’ve pre-ordered, downloaded, or sent a message, it genuinely means a lot. This weekend marks my first book event of the year, which I’m really looking forward

It’s release week for Feel the Danger , and if I’m honest it’s felt a little bit like spinning plates. Between ads, last-minute checks and updating listings, it’s been a busy few days behind the scenes. There’s this idea that release week should feel exciting and polished. The reality is quieter. It’s the small wins, the decisions, and staying focused on why I started writing these stories in the first place. Seeing readers continue the journey with these characters across di

The proof copy of Feel the Danger  is on its way. Such a simple sentence, yet such a meaningful moment in the journey. This stage is always filled with a strange mix of excitement and anticipation — knowing the story is almost ready to step out into the world. While I wait, I’m embracing the final stretch: planning, refining, and quietly enjoying the build-up to release day. There’s a storm coming… 😉 I can’t wait to share this one with you. Now excuse me while I refresh my e

If anyone’s looking for me this week, I’ll be the one buried under tracked changes, muttering “just one more pass” and swearing I won’t open another  chapter… before immediately opening another chapter. I’m officially knee-deep in edits right now, and while my brain is a bit fried, it’s also one of my favourite stages. This is where the story tightens, the emotional beats land a little harder, and those tiny details that have been living in my head finally make it properly on

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! About two and a half a month — not bad at all, and it’s reminded me just how much reading fuels my own creativity. I’m currently picking out my favourite (and not-so-favourite!) reads of

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! Also my newsletter is due out Friday so if you're not signed up then do so before then for ALL the latest. Anyway, this past week has felt like a turning point. 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
