A Valentine's Day Anthology - From the Heart

I've had the honour of working with seven other amazing authors on this fantastic anthology, and am pleased to tell you it's finally live on Amazon and ready for you to read :-D Please go and buy a copy, not just for my short story, but for all the other amazing ones, too! 

All royalties donated to The British Heart Foundation. 



M.B Feeney and L.J Harris–Roll Of The Dice 

A Roll of the Dice leads to . . . fun between Thomas McDonald and Maisie Lewis as they embark on the next stage of their relationship. 

Will they see it through, or will nerves get the better of them? 

Beverley Hollowed–Changing Hearts 

When Logan Bryce met Ella Graham, she became his whole world. Logan thought they would spend the rest of their life together. But when Ella gets sick, Logan has to face the possibility of losing the love of his life. 

As he sits by Ella’s bedside and prays for her to live, he thinks back over their life together, and how they got to where they are today. 

All Logan has left now is hope and a dream that maybe miracles do happen. 

Sarah Elizabeth-Online Valentine 

All I wanted was for him to notice me, but he didn’t even know that I existed … well, not really. 

To him, I was always just Emmy. 

Little Emmy. 

Emmy the freshman. 

Emmy, his best friend’s little sister. 

He never paid me any real attention. At least, he didn’t until the day I decided to become somebody else. 

Laura Morgan–Fly Away 

After years of feeling unhappy and alone, Aria dreams of spreading her wings and flying away. Playing second fiddle to her husband's career was never her idea of a fulfilling life, but she’s too lost in her sea of self-pity to make a change. 

That is, until she meets Dexter Fray. After pursuing his dreams and becoming part of one the world’s hottest boy bands, he’s lost himself in the process. He's lonely and miserable, but so smothered by fame and fortune he can’t make that change either. 

When the pair meet one starry night on a rooftop, they find a kindred lost soul staring back at them in the darkness. A connection is made and their lives start to change, whether they wanted it to or not, and Aria wonders if perhaps Dexter might be the key to helping her find herself again. 

If only it could be quite so easy… 

Kyra Lennon–Sunshine & Surprises 

It was supposed to be the happiest day of Eden’s life. Graduation day, followed by one final summer with no responsibilities. 

When an unexpected pregnancy scuppers her plans, Eden has to break the news to her commitment-phobic boyfriend, Declan. With big decisions to make and Declan pushing her away, Eden’s world crashes around her as she faces not only the prospect of single motherhood, but the knowledge that she may have lost the man she’d waited so long to be with. 

In a bid to stop her life spiralling out of control, Eden has to make some tough choices, but will Declan step up and ease the burden, or will Eden be left – literally – holding the baby? 

RJ Thompson-An exercise in Love 

At 25 Carly was fed up. She was single and the ugly duckling of her group. A night out turns into a disaster and opens her eyes. Giving her the courage to make that change and to be the woman she’s always hidden inside. Andy a personal trainer seeing the woman she really is gives her the push she needs to grab life with both hands and finally be happy and love herself. 

JA Heron-Jersey Girl 

Fun loving Kat and her bezzie Benny, know how to have a good time. But, it’s not always been fun and games in Kat’s life. Circumstances left her with nothing and so far, her time on this planet has been a rough ride. Orphaned after losing both parents and abandoned by her last living relative–her sister. Kat depends on her two closest friends, without whom, she’d probably be sleeping rough on the streets with a bottle of rum in her hands.  

One cold and dreary night, she meets Connor Reeves. He arrives in Jersey to visit his elderly uncle. That’s when her life changes… but it’s not all plain sailing. 

Weird things writers say and do

I've been getting more and more blank stares since delving into the world of storytelling and publishing, and have been giggling to myself about a few today so thought I'd share them...

1. We say weird things as and when they pop into our heads, pull out notebooks mid-conversation and ask random questions in search of our next plot twist. 

2. We use unusual terminology to describe ourselves and our work rather than just saying 'I write books.' We say things like - 'Alpha male,' 'Book hangover,' 'Indie rather than Traditional,' 'Hybrid authors,' 'Hosted a takeover.'

3. Our word power has increased so much we think it's okay to throw long and strange words into everyday conversation.

4. When we started out the very idea of coming across as weird was the last thing we wanted, by the end of our first year we embrace the stereotype and downright enjoy it!

5. We talk about our current story in terms that only other bookie people understand. "I wrote 3k of my WIP today." "Working on the conflict resolution before the HAE."

6. We constantly have to remind our friends that they aren't going to make it into our next novel. Seriously, I don't know why you think I'm lacking in inspiration, but your story of your husband farting and burping before propositioning you is NOT what makes for a 'real' romance novel :-D

7. When we daydream, we're working! Strange as it is, we work day and night at our craft. My dreams often feature in my storylines, and there's no such thing as insomnia as I simply see those 4am random wakeups as brainstorming time!

8. We cry or break a little inside when we receive our first negative reviews, and then suddenly transition to not caring about that one persons opinion and focussing on the numerous who loved the book. Experienced authors told us so from day1, but it still takes time to get there by ourselves, and when it happens it is truly liberating. 

9. We spend hours looking for the perfect quotes to post online because we're procrastinating. It's usually when we're too tired or lacking in inspiration to write, or because we're on the toilet! 

10. We love it when people contact us about our books. Don't ever be scared to come across as too strong (unless you're messaging every 5minutes or offering to show us your body parts) because it really makes our day.  If you loved a book, review it and like the author's page, message them and tell them why you liked it. Start a conversation and join their groups or express an interest in them, because you might just get the offer of an ARC for their next book! Authors spend a great deal of time supporting one another, and when our readers show real support for our work they are like diamonds in the sea of stones. We cherish them and keep them close x

I hope you've enjoyed this fun post, I loved putting it together! x

I'm gonna break your heart...

So, better late than never, Happy New Year :-D 


I've been working hard on a follow up to Forever Lost and am so close it's unreal, eek! 


And now, I feel the need to talk to someone about where I'm at! Around a year ago I wrote a scene that broke my heart so badly I cried the entire way through it. For the first time in my writing career, I'd started a book by writing the climactic ending first, and boy did it do a number on me. 


I then spent months writing the build up to it, and yet never once read that scene back again because I knew it was something that'd break my heart all over again...Today I reached the point where that scene began, and read it over. 


All I can say is I'm sorry, but it looks like I'm gonna be in a some of your bad books after one! Forever Lost's sequel will certainly be a shocker ;-) x
