I seem to be living up to my track record. I’m supposed to be working on the join between the next book to come out, ‘Rachel’ and its sequel, ‘Sisters’. So what have I actually done? Somehow, I’ve worked on the opening of the book that comes after […]
One of the features of the ‘Saltbury Chronicles’ series has been the wealth of different characters. Apparently creative writing courses recommend that you stick with maybe four main characters, and perhaps twice as many more minor characters. Hummn. I have just been updating my character database after sending […]
I love the way my character Hazel Fauld speaks sometimes. Of course in theory I write her, but I’m never entirely sure she doesn’t just use my fingers to type her life. Here is her description of getting the news that one of her lesbian couple Mums has […]
It’s strange sometimes when you’re writing, that things you thought you’d made up turn out to be true. My Rock star character Debbie Stewart has a three year old daughter called Sofie, although as she’s a bit of a handful, she’s often called Monster in the family. Young […]
I’ve done it again haven’t I? I was going to write a Saltbury short story, called ‘Jenny’, about sports mad Jenny Marlow. That was the plan. It would be just a little thing to take me from ‘Carol’ to the next Tina book, which is provisionally called ‘History […]
I really like the sound of some words. It almost doesn’t matter what they mean; they just make a nice noise when you say them. One of my characters Aleyse, is one and another character, Debbie Stewart, agrees so much that she named one of her two world […]
The things I have to research sometimes to properly get to know Saltbury. We all know the town has a main line railway station. After all, Martine Fauld drives to the station most mornings, then takes the train into London to work at ‘Faulds’ Fashions’. But with the […]
As ever I seem to be writing the wrong book, or at least not the book I meant to write. I’m supposed to be working on the second draft of ‘Rachel’, which is number 4 in the Saltbury series, but instead, a whole new book is bursting out […]
Amazon Kindle have just put my new ‘Saltbury Chronicles’ book, ‘Daughters’ on line. It is number three in the series, and yes I know, Book five was published before it. Nobody’s perfect 🙂 This one continues the saga of lovable Goth, Hazel Fauld and her beloved girlfriend Annie. […]
It’s funny, I’m just doing the last read through of ‘Daughters’ before it goes on-line. and there are bits I’d already forgotten writing. As you know, the books in the series all have first person narrators, usually either Hazel Fauld, or Tina Burns. Tina is a quite a […]
