Hey there, lovely reader, I hope you had a lovely holiday season and are back in the swing of things. Thank you to everyone for your well wishes about my leg, which is now mostly mended. I wear a brace on occasion, and take care when I'm out and about, but it's not...
Hey there, lovely reader, I broke open the Christmas decorations this week. The trees aren't available yet, but I can put up the rest and it seemed a good way to spend my time as I adjust to returning to the US. This week I'm answering a reader's question, announcing...
Hey there, lovely reader, I'm sitting outside in the sun writing this. We're having our annual carpet cleaning and I'm staying out of the way. I always say that getting the carpets done is as much work as moving house. I exaggerate, but it's a lot of work to move all...
Hey there, lovely reader, I'm a bit late today. That's because I decided not to write my newsletter yesterday as I normally do. I was on a roll writing the new book and I wanted to keep bashing away on my keyboard. I get hyperfixated like that at times. Sometimes...
Hey there, lovely reader, The clocks have changed here in the US and I'm sitting at my desk at 5:30 a.m. (really 4:30 a.m!) writing, writing. I love the early morning – so peaceful and quiet. I typically go out for a morning walk at 6 a.m. for 90 minutes, after...
Hello! Well, it's finally here. Six years after the last installment, I am so pleased to announce that the fifth book in the Diana Hunter series, Broken has hit the Amazon shelves. Please read on. There is an extract from the book below, along with purchase links. But...
Greetings! I'm getting closer and closer to publishing the next book in the Diana Hunter series, Broken. I can't wait to share it with you. To whet your appetite, I have a teaser and a new game that you can play without having read the book. But first, a warning....
Hey there, lovely reader, New year, new you? I hope not. I think you're pretty great as you are. 😊 Today, I have updates on my wip, some recommended authors whose writing is set in earlier eras, and what to do if you don't follow me on Amazon. Always learning, always...
Hey there, lovely reader, Good morning! We're into the second week of the new year and I'm cracking on with Diana #5. Yesterday I got some writer's block on a scene and was also noodling another plot point. I started to procrastinate. I ended up buying a few things on...
Hey there, lovely reader! I hope you had a lovely holiday season and are now recovered and raring to go! I barely stopped over the winter break (reason for that will be in next week's newsletter) and it's full steam ahead here. 2023 is in the rear view mirror. And now...
Hey there, lovely reader! Are you nearly done with your holiday prep? I don't have too much to do having such a small family and it's just about done. 🦌 We are limiting gifts this year to one from each person (3) plus our Secret Santa gifts, also three. Our Secret...
Hey there, lovely reader! How are those holiday preparations coming along? Our tree is now fully decorated and the Christmas wishlists came in right on time (no surprise there!) Today, I offer a peek behind the scenes and an announcement. Fun! Yesterday, I was...
Hey there, lovely reader! If you're in the US, I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving last week. Ours was just as I like it, nice and quiet. A friend told me about her plans for having twelve people over and then moving to someone else's the next day, and I had to tell...
Hey there, lovely reader! I got into the Halloween candy after a stressful weekend. ?This happens every year. I really need to buy the bag of sweets on October 31 rather than a month before. I promise myself that I will do this every year and I never do. Perhaps...
Hey there, lovely reader! Fall is here. ? It was ninety degrees last week. ☀️ Goodness. This week I have some more thoughts on artificial intelligence, some fun for you, and an announcement. Also the latest on the impossible jigsaw. ? Comma, comma, chameleon When I...
Hey there, lovely people! It's a beautiful day here in Northern California. The skies are a deep, clear blue, the temperature is just right – not cold, but not energy-sapping hot, either. It truly feels like the dog days of summer and I'm here for it. I am...
Hey there, lovely people!, I'm back from the UK and back to business here in the US. Got a bit waylaid by the obligatory virus one picks up while travelling and also by a kitty who was pleased to see me, but I am back at my desk and beavering away. What's next? My...
Hey there, I hope you had a lovely week since we last spoke. It was Mother's Day here in the US and I had a delicious brunch followed by one of my famous naps. Predictably… After last week's email about more Roxy adventures, Diana fans contacted me up in arms!...
