ARE YOU STUCK WITH YOUR WRITING? FEEL ALL ALONE? READ ON


You're not on your own - I'm with you all the way on this. It doesn't matter what stage of the writing journey we're on - motivating and inspiring ourselves to write isn't easy. That's why I created Write, Damn It! to help writers at all stages get unstuck, deal with our writing demons, and get the writing done. You've found your writing tribe, right here.


My novel, an uplit, contemporary bookclub fiction that my agent

describes as 'a hopeful hug' has been picked up in a publishing deal with UCLan Publishing, and my novel will launch their new list with a focus on

contemporary women's fiction. The novel will be out on 20th June 2024, with a launch event at Waterstones, Liverpool - tickets on sale in spring 2024.


I'm now writing a standalone sequel. And yes, I'm back on the emotional

rollercoaster - after all, this is the notoriously difficult book to write.


The FREE Mini Reboot is full of the tools that I use to keep me

motivated and get my writing done.

My Life As A Writer

In the time I've been writing I must have lived through every possible emotion that a writer feels. I'd love to start with elation ... but let's face it, that one's a long time coming for pretty much all of us, and I didn't really experience much of that until the summer of '22. The reality is I've had writer's block, doubt, negative self-talk, sabotaged my writing, felt like giving up ... crikey, the list goes on and on and on. And I know I'm not alone in this.


I started writing poetry in my 20s, novels in my 30s, kept a blog in my 40s, wrote for a couple of national magazines but it took until I was 58 before I completed a whole novel. I now have an agent, and we are out on submission with my bookclub novel - I'll let you know how it goes.
