The Boy with the Boxes

It's almost publication day for The Boy with the Boxes!

The Blurb

Rosie's starting afresh. Her best friend and former housemate is starting a new life in Australia leaving Rosie to move into a new flat on her own. But when she meets her next door neighbour, Rosie realises she may not be quite so alone after all...

This is a really special story to me as it's as much about friendship as romance.

I dedicated this one to my best friend because not only has she shown me endless support , she genuinely believed in me and my writing, way back from when it was fan fiction in my teen bedroom. I hope this Meet Cute makes her smile.

The Boy with the Boxes is dedicated to Jen

The Boy with the Boxes will be published by Harper Impulse on April 7th 2016 and is available to preorder now

Real Life Film Stars v Aaron Halliday...

As Aaron Halliday the leading man in One Night in Los Angeles is a Hollywood star, I thought it'd be fun to talk to fellow authors and book bloggers about their favourite actors and actresses. One of the reasons I loved writing Aaron was because the perception of him generated by the media was quite different to the man Abbi gets to know. Let's see what makes the following household names so popular... One Night in Madrid and One Night in Pamplona author JD Martins admires Kate Winslet "because she's not only an amazing actor, but she's beautiful and unafraid of going places in her acting that others might not go and showing the raw emotions. It's a bit like those writers who are brave enough to write erotica, to expose the raw emotions of our stories that it takes us some years to build up the courage to write, for fear of what our friends and family might think. Kate does it in every film and has done it since ...

I Won't Act My Age - Should Age Influence Hobbies?

Following on from a fabulous weekend watching Take That in Hyde Park with my best friend (you can read a bit about that here) , I spent my Tuesday morning waiting outside a local radio station to meet Olly Murs on his 'You Don't Know Love' radio tour. I had fun talking to others in the queue (there were maybe 60-80 of us there in all) and the time passed pretty quickly. Luckily the rain held off and it was neither too hot or too cold - pretty much perfect weather for waiting outside. Olly arrived just before midday and the staff at the station invited fans in to watch his live stream being filmed, so we all crammed into the foyer to hear him share how proud he is of his forthcoming album and that there will be a tour next year. Meeting Olly, 12.07.2016 When the interview was over we were all ushered outside and politely reformed the queue to each have our moment with Olly. It really was nothing more than a moment - his schedule ...

Real-life Meet Cutes - my story!

To celebrate the release later this week of The Boy in the Bookshop , the first story in the Meet Cute series, I'm sharing the moment I met my husband... Way back in October 1997 (which I've just realised is literally half my life ago -gulp) I was at college studying for my A levels. The college was around twenty miles from my home, so I'd leave early in the morning and not go back until teatime. I had a good group of friends but their free periods didn't match up with mine and as a result I spent a lot of time in the library, both studying and 'surfing the net'. The internet was still a real novelty back then and I'd go online to find out football news, particularly about Sheffield United. It was on a now defunct forum on the official club site that I started talking to 'Deadbat' - the username for the man who is now my husband, David. We started off talking in the open threads then progressed to se...
