I Know It's Over - 'The End' for Books with Bunny.

Many of you know that before I was a published author I was a book blogger. My blog, Books with Bunny, was a place where I reviewed books of all kinds, interviewed authors and hosted guest posts. I loved my time as part of the wonderful blogging community and am very proud of how I organised online events, had reviews posted in a number of books and was chosen to take part in many blog tours and marketing campaigns; but the time has come to say goodbye. I have big plans and wild writing ambitions, and I want to be able to give these projects my all.

None of the posts at Books with Bunny will disappear, but the blog will no longer be active. This does mean I'll be talking about other people's books over here from time to time because I will always be a reader, always shout about the importance of libraries and always support authors I admire - as anyone who follows me on Twitter will know.

The title of this blog post comes from The Smiths song of the same name. You can hear the song here.

I'm going back to the start...

It's been a weird time. Dreams have been vivid, ideas have been brewing, but actually having the time and inclination to write... Well, let's just say that hasn't happened much during lockdown. Me and my agent recently parted ways, all very amicably, but it has given me cause to reassess. It reminds me of being a newbie author subbing directly to publishers and pitching to agents (and having the absolute soul-crushing misery of opening a rejection email without a side-helping of an ego-massaging comment from her). I'm not going to lie, it's a bit scary putting myself out there again, especially as someone with anxiety. It's a competitive industry; the chances of getting a 'no' are far higher than that elusive 'yes'. My book being on a supermarket shelf didn't mean I'd made it as an author, it meant I had one book that was bought by a supermarket. Ditto having books picked for promotions. Four novels in, I still have work to do. So I...

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 ...

My big news!

2021 is shaping up to be a busy year! I've just signed a contract with Bloodhound Books and although I can't share details just yet rest assured the books coming your way will have all the romance, friendship and community spirit that my previous novels are known for. Bloodhound are making waves in the industry and have sold over 6 million books worldwide since 2014 - it's exciting to be a part of it. I can't wait to tell you more!
