We are a team of music bloggers, who are specially interested in celebrating current female talent in modern music.
My books are lesbian romances, which also try to look at often difficult real world (usually gender or LGBTQ) issues. I have to say though, I love writing comedy, so my stories always have a good dose of humour, however dark the main events might sometimes get. In […]
I’ve always rather liked producing dialogue, but I know that some writers hate or even fear it. Certainly it can be tricky to get it to flow as it might when real people talk. It can also be hard to show mood, tone of voice and the like, […]
The death of Queen Elizabeth II has come as a great shock to so many of us in the UK, whether or not they supported the monarchy. She had reigned for 70 years: the longest reign in British history, and one of the longest anywhere. Most of us […]
I always hope these blogs might be of help to aspiring writers, so this little tale might give some encouragement to others, or at least help them not to panic if things start going wrong. My next book is called ‘Debbie’s Gift’, but it hasn’t half been a […]
I know I’ve talked about this before, but would-be teachers of writing always seem to say that once you’ve started to write one book, you should never allow yourself to get distracted by another project. It breaks the continuity of the mental story-telling process. Well I’m sorry that […]

One of the questions I’m often asked is: do my characters derive wholly from my imagination, or are they based on people I know, or at least know of? The answer, I suppose, is a little of both, and there are probably times when I borrow little quirks […]
This is not one of my normal posting days, but I wanted to give some of my readers a heads up. I was told a little while ago that my book ‘Red’ (Book 5 in the ‘Saltbury’ series) had suffered a computer glitch of some sort which meant […]
My readers are all familiar with Rock superstar Debbie Stewart and her wife Martine Fauld. They are the mothers of one of my two central characters: Hazel. This new book takes us back a generation to the 1970s to when the couple first met. Debbie is right on […]
My next book, ‘Martine’, will be out in a week and you’ll hear a lot more about Rock goddess Debbie Stewart’s early days. She had a less than happy childhood as the daughter of an autocratic, almost Victorian father, who makes no secret of the fact that he […]
