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

HOW SCENES CHANGE
When I first wrote The Refusal, two of the main characters, Janus and his best friend from college, Fabian, meet on the Brooklyn Bridge. Fabian is something of a mess and Janus thinks about how he is expecting to see him thrown out of a car onto the sidewalk. Every year I visit New York to see one of my best friends, John, and when I went to the Brooklyn Bridge on a location scouting trip, I realised (as all you New Yorkers will know) that the walkway doesn't sit at the s
