Another day, another award. Sigh. It's just so tedious how people keep giving The Refusal these things . . . hahaha. Being serious for a second though, this will never stop being a thrill and the Eve Riley household is very excited about possible trips and presentations we might attend. The recognition for the book that I spent so long writing, editing and publishing is wonderful. However, the amount of pressure it's creating for book two is immense. I am spending most of my

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

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

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

I started out with this post thinking it might be fun to explore some writing before and after it’s edited. What was I thinking? One of the things I do after I've finished the first draft is what I call a ‘show don’t tell’ edit. But looking back at the first version of the novel is not helping me at all. I’m looking back at things I wrote thinking, why did I cut that out ? This is from the first time Jo meets Janus. Authors out there – are we ever happy with our novels
