Friday is Pie Day.
Some people make the best word nerds. Kelly Ansara is one of those. She has a blog called It’s A Book Thing, and if you like the odd book, you should check it out. She’s currently running a series on her blog called Author Pie, where she interviews various authors. Her last one was on…
A little collection
I once almost started collecting tea cups, I got as far as six gorgeous ones before I realised I didn’t have the space in my home to collect anything that doesn’t pack flat. That’s why I tell myself that books are okay to collect. Eventhough they clutter every spare space in my home, and are…

In which Paige gets a little spank by a little stick

Up to no good.
The rational, intelligent, practical side of me knows that books aren’t living, breathing, feeling things. Of course not, that’s ridiculous!

i haves teh book
My friend, and world-famous blogger, Cape Town Girl (see I too can name drop like @AspasiaKarras) just tweeted this picture of her cub, reading my book. Well okay, maybe he’s not reading it right at this point, but he was on page 74, just before she convinced him to throw on some blue steel for…
This Way Up, now available in paperback.
I have news. November not only sees us one month closer to the end of the year (What? Where did that come from?) But it also sees the launch of my latest novel, This Way Up, in paperback. Sorry, I hope it isn’t terribly boring and gauche of me to bring it up, but I…
