It’s wild to be able to say this, but Shot in the Dark was published THREE WHOLE MONTHS ago. It simultaneously feels like my debut novel has been out in the world forever, and yet I can’t believe how little time has passed since I held the finished copies in my hands. Having a bookContinue reading “Three months”

November reads
Five of the books I read in November were AMAZING and one of them was UTTER SHITE. I just won’t talk about the shite one, and you can do the math… Ocean’s Echo is Everina Maxwell’s second novel, and it’s just as glorious as the first. Both of her spacey love stories are set inContinue reading “November reads”
Impostor Syndrome
My experience of this beast Impostor syndrome is the little voice in our heads saying, ‘Are you really good enough? Have you got enough experience to do that? Do you even know what you’re talking about? Surely there is someone out there who is better at this than you? Shouldn’t you go learn some moreContinue reading “Impostor Syndrome”

I had another great reading month in May. Here are my faves… Goldilocks by Laura Lam BLEW MY MIND. Set largely in a space ship headed for a new planet that could be a place for humans to live after they’ve messed up earth, this story has both global and personal reach. Told from oneContinue reading “May Reads”
Low
We all have those times when writing is an absolute dream. The ideas flow, the words actually make sense, we smash targets and get great feedback. These moments are lovely. But they can also be fleeting. These inspired periods cannot be depended on if we want to write regularly. I don’t know about you, butContinue reading “Low”
April Reads
I think we can all agree that unless some miracle occurs, I’m not going to reach my goal of reading 120 books this year! Ho hum… I do have a slight excuse for reading less this month (other than the sense of doom!) – I launched the rejection course and I have begun mentoring theContinue reading “April Reads”
