Finding Time to Write


Last week I wrote about all the writing prompts I have jotted in old notebooks. When I dug those notebooks out of my drawer, I left two of them on the table where I sit down to work. I planned to use some of the notes during the week, but time somehow ran away from me. My work has gotten busy in other areas, and it means I spend most of my day running to and fro, and then I have to collect the children from school and help them with homework, activities and whatever else they need.


I still have a couple of mostly free days in which to work, and there are the evenings, but lately I find I’m too exhausted by time I get the children into bed. I used to sit up until the early hours working on my computer, but I simply cannot manage that these days. Still, I’m not worried. I have several books in progress, both fiction and non-fiction, but there is no urgency to complete them. They will be done when I am good and ready. And my notebooks will wait…

NHS Nurses in my Novels #NHS70


Did you know that some of my novels feature NHS nurses and doctors as supporting characters? I mention this only because we are celebrating 70 years of the National Health Service, and I thought you might be interested…



In the Redcliffe Novels series, we meet NHS nurse Sally Frost who leads a double life as lieutenant and law enforcer for the Redcliffe werewolf pack. She is helplessly in love with her alpha wolf, but he won’t commit, so she settles for the unofficial role of alpha female as they battle to keep the enemy out and their wolves safe… but sometimes their own wolves can cause trouble, as we discover when Sally has a run-in with her professional colleague from the hospital, Dr Kimberley Wayne. Download your FREE copy of It’s Complicated to see what happens.



In Vampire of Blackpool you can read what happens when an ancient female vampire meets a young witch who works as an NHS nurse. They fall into an unexpected romance with deadly consequences, made worse by the appearance of a vampire hunter. You will find references to the NHS in most of my novels, actually, since my hunters, humans and creatures usually end up in the hospital at some point during their adventures. Happy Birthday, NHS!



My novels are adult paranormal with equal amounts of dark romance and contemporary English Gothic. Sign up now for special offers, book release news, and your FREE Redcliffe story to get started.

Celebrate #PrideMonth at NN Light’s Book Heaven @NNP_W_Light


Did you know that most of my novels and short stories feature LGBTQ+ characters? I don’t set out to include them, or to write specifically about the characters in their unique perspectives. They simply have natural preferences to same sex or whatever feels natural. And to that end, I am participating in Promotion with Pride at N.N. Light’s Book Heaven.

You might like to read about my gay and bisexual werewolves in the Redcliffe novels series. Or my lesbian vampires in Vampire of Blackpool and Return of the Vampire Hunter. I am currently working on a couple of gay vampire novels set in Manchester, and I will also soon offer up something very different and much darker than my usual writing style… But that is top secret and you must wait until I am allowed to reveal more!

Don’t forget to find me on social media:

Not Just a Pretty Face #VoB #vampire #hunter

This year I intend to finish writing my Redcliffe novels series and turn my attention to the vampire hunter novels that have been lurking on my hard-drive for a couple of years. These novels are pure urban fantasy with some contemporary English Gothic thrown in for good measure. They are violent, erotic, passionate and not for those of a nervous disposition. Dare you read them?


You might like to start with my debut Urban Fantasy novel, Vampire of Blackpool. The vampire, the witch and the hunter battle it out in a contemporary Gothic adventure in Northern England. Who wins the battle? I think we know the answer to that one, but you might be surprised… Boo!

Have I Outgrown #NaNoWriMo?

We have passed the halfway point for #NaNoWriMo 2017, and I have to say I am really not engaging with it. My novel has not yet reached 20,000 words, I find lots of distractions keeping me away from my manuscript, and I simply cannot be bothered with it this year. I wrote about it yesterday on my SpookyMrsGreen blog, and one of the comments gave me food for thought: have I outgrown NaNoWriMo?  


 I already know the answer to that question: yes! You see, I don’t need the monthly wordcount challenge to force me to write my books. Since I first joined NaNoWriMo back in 2011, I have written about a dozen novels that are in various stages of editing. I have published half a dozen novels and short stories, along with hundreds of blog posts on various platforms. I don’t need NaNoWriMo anymore, and I feel a little bit sad. But mostly I feel relieved. I will still write my novel, of course. It has been requested by my loyal fans, and I cannot disappoint them. But I will do it in my own time, when I feel ready. Enjoy your month, my friends! Do share your thoughts about NaNoWriMo in the comments below.

Vampire of Blackpool Paperback Edition #NaNoWriMo #ASMSG

Have you read Vampire of Blackpool yet? If you are not familiar with my favourite Victorian seaside resort in the North of England, this book might open your eyes a little bit… and now I am proud to announce that the paperback edition is ready to order! It took me a while since this project has been very much a “learn as you go” adventure. I am happy enough with the outcome, and I have learned my lessons for future self-publishing plans.



For #NaNoWriMo this year I am writing a sequel to Vampire of Blackpool. It wasn’t my intention when I wrote the book, but several readers have informed me that they are waiting to see what happens next. I cannot disappoint them, now, can I? Admittedly I am off to a slow start because my mind is currently elsewhere, but I aim to knuckle down, get writing, and catch up as soon as I can. The sequel will be written! For now, you may enjoy Vampire of Blackpool in paperback or eBook editions.

When a Vampire Falls in Love #LGBT #LesFic

“You should know better, Samantha,” he said, “Witches do not mix with vampires. It always end badly. Get out while you can.”



The vampire, the witch, and the hunter battle it out in a contemporary Gothic adventure in Northern England.

Meredith Hanson lives in Blackpool, the former Victorian holiday hotspot of Northern England. She masquerades as a reclusive author, feeding on the blood of unsuspecting tourists without remorse. Her life takes on new meaning when she meets a young witch in a local pub one evening. Despite Meredith’s cold demeanour, she finds herself oddly fascinated with Samantha Morris, and falls into an accidental relationship with the girl. It is at this time that a vampire hunter arrives in Blackpool. He is tough, he is determined, and his next target is an ancient vampire that has been spotted in the tourist town. He intends to bring her down and destroy her to save the lives of innocent humans.

Will he succeed? Or will the experienced vampire seductress be the cause of his undoing?



You can buy Vampire of Blackpool in various eBook formats here, and from Amazon.
