A SPECIAL SEX SCENE JUST FOR YOU
The Outcast has won a Silver IPPY award for erotic romance, and I couldn't be more excited! I love all the heat and steam in this book. In order to celebrate I thought I'd share a scene for you to enjoy and see what heat rating you felt it deserved. Enjoy! Chapter 14 excerpt ******* Fabian holds himself above me suspended on his arms, muscles bunching in my peripheral vision, his ropey body sporting the imprints of where I’ve mapped his tattoos, traces of honey on his chest.

THE TOP 6 THINGS READERS HATE IN BOOKS
The Outcast has been doing better in the book awards than I anticipated, having been shortlisted for six awards to date. And I'm surprised. With the drugs and the crazy behaviour, I thought perhaps Fabian was too over the top for a book award. Readers can react in funny ways, and there are some people, I discovered, for whom drugs are a complete no-no. And I understand that - don't we all have things that we hate in books? In romance, cheating is one of mine. For some of you

DO MEN EVER ENJOY READING ROMANCE NOVELS?
I've had some lovely feedback on The Refusal from men. And I guess it surprised me, it shouldn't have done, but sometimes it's difficult to see past our own biases, not to mention all my lovely female readers! But I love having my preconceived notions of who might read my book challenged. " Terrific start for a new author. Intriguing romance woven into a solid story; both worth the read . A very good debut novel from a talented author. I’d call this an explicit romance or an

5 ROMANCE NOVELS WITH THE BEST SEX SCENES OF ALL TIME
What makes a good sex scene for you? Long and drawn out or fast and furious? Perhaps the interesting use of accoutrements (honey, rope, water ....) is your jam. And that’s before we get onto angry sex, makeup sex, unexpected sex, or sex with the fear of discovery. I’ve loved steamy romance novels for as long as I can remember, and I have high expectations of that scene where they finally fall into each other's arms. I’m a fan of something unusual: Not tacky or totally unreal

Romance reader CHIT-CHAT
Readers of The Refusal have had a lot they want to talk to me about. That lift scene. Does Janus's company go down? Is Fabian guilty? And of course, THAT SEX IN CHAPTER 34! It is so nice getting all their messages. There's definitely a sweetspot for Fabian and I am so looking forward to bringing you his book! (Working on it now!).

MORE ON ROMANCE READERS
Although I've written a book, probably like all authors, I'm first and foremost a reader. But I'm a very specific kind of reader - a romance reader. And all romance readers know the form and delight in the nuance and the encounters, the building tension, the meet-cute. So getting positive feedback from readers of this kind on social media has been a joy. I can't thank the lovely bookstagram community enough. This one came from a lovely romance author, C.G. Miller: You can

CAUGHT MID CHAPTER
I absolutely love it when people message me on instagram and ask what's going to happen next, or just to be excited, when they are part way through The Refusal. Putting my author hat to the side for a moment, there's nothing quite like the thrill of being caught up in a good book (especially caught mid chapter). As an author, of course you love your book, but you also know you're a little weird and could have done more editing, and, and, and . . . So here's an early comment I
