From Natalie’s #WIP, which has the working title, Princess of Air… Another fit of giggles totters my shoulders until a shock of cold water hits my face. I gasp and jump to my feet. “Marcus, that was completely unnecessary!” “Everything you do is unnecessary. Perhaps I’m learning from your example.” “Of all of us, ArabellaContinue reading “Welcome, Natalie Cammaratta!”

Exciting news to end the year! My new novel, #Underrated, is available to pre-order! Just click https://mybook.to/underrated! It’s the third novel in the Glasshouse series, and, like The (D)Evolution of Us and Glasshouse, it’s a standalone. It’ll be released by #darkstrokebooks on #ValentinesDay2022 – no accident, given its cover! Also, as I have now writtenContinue reading “Underrated”

From Jessica’s #WIP… “Hey gorgeous!” Josh called as the door closed behind him.             “Hey handsome!” Violet raked her highlighted chocolate hair under her festive witch’s hat and responded to her friend as her cheeks blazed. No matter how many times he said that to her, and no matter how platonic she knew it was,Continue reading “Welcome, Jessica Thompson!”

From Sue’s #WIP, Fortune’s Fool… Fortune’s Fool is a sequel to my novel The Unkindest Cut of All.  Both are set in the world of amateur dramatics.  This extract is from Chapter One. As Sarah and Katy waited for their first scene, Sarah took the opportunity to resume their chat. “Have you done anything likeContinue reading “Welcome, Sue Barnard!”

The definition of ‘Christmassy’, it seems, is universally understood. My four-year old son came up to me today, declaring, “Mummy, I’m feeling Christmassy!” He’s probably overheard me saying the word to someone – I have actually already felt ‘Christmassy’ this year – but I know I’ve never explained to him what it means. I’ve neverContinue reading “Christmas Present”

From Rose’s #WIP… Olivia The night she died; she was wearing that killer red dress. I hated her the minute I saw her arrive. She sashayed over to our table, glossy hair billowing behind her. It was one of those spray-on dresses, the kind that clings to every inch of skin – provocative, unforgiving, deadly.Continue reading “Welcome, Rose McClelland!”

From Val’s novel, Hunter’s Rules, which will be released in January – this is a special sneak peek! Bloody hell, that was close. I hadn’t expected her to be found so soon. That’s bad luck. I thought she’d have time to bleed out and die like the others. It was hard to watch them, butContinue reading “Welcome, Val Penny!”

From Miriam’s #WIP… When Asaf texted, Nathalie was ready for the working day to end. They met outside the building and continued to the bus stop. Traffic was heavy and the bus crawled along with occasional spurts. At first, they both stood. When a seat became available, Asaf signed to Nathalie to sit, which sheContinue reading “Welcome, Miriam Drori!”

From my #WIP, which has the working title of Portia… this is straight out of my head onto the laptop, so it’s as raw as it gets! The low cliffs are layered like Liquorice Allsorts. Liam’s stumbling over terrain which is literally rocks and boulders, slipping on seaweed in his chequered espadrilles in pursuit ofContinue reading “Happy Halloween/Samhain Blessings!”

The picture above shows me and my friend, Dobbin. Dobbin is quite scary when you first encounter him. He stands at the top of one of the most beautiful – and highly-polished – staircases I have ever climbed. He literally rocks opposite my bedroom door. I am lucky enough to be on a writers’ retreat,Continue reading “Rocking with Dobbin…”
