Read MoreIt all started with a koala… Making up stories of her own has always been one of Michelle’s passions. She received her first rejection letter at the age of ten for Keri the Koala Baby, and has been writing ever since. A love of literature led her to major in English at the University of…
Read MoreConfused? No, this isn’t an advert for a comparison website! Are you as confused as I am by the words that publishing professionals use to describe the books they’re looking for? Joanna Maitland has taken to the Liberta Books blog this week in an attempt to figure out exactly what they mean – and she…
Read MoreThe Classic I have been writing for Mills and Boon for thirty years. My first book was accepted in 1991 and published in December 1992. It had the classic retro cover that I still love. Sadly, I only had two books with this cover design (although more of that later) when M&B went for a…

To the point where even an autobuy sitting on my Kindle isn’t tempting me away from the comfort of old television series that I’ve seen before. But this week, Sophie Weston, who has had a vile…
Read More…and yes, I’m on the list! I’m completely over the moon to announce that Christmas Reunion in Paris is in the Members Choice category of Favourite Christmas or Holiday Romances. This was the first book in a mini series based around the Harrington Park Hotel, and I’m doubly delighted, that James’ sister, Sally Harrington –…

In a homage to the British radio programme, Desert Island Discs, which has been running for 70 years with guests as different as politicians, scientists, astronauts, actors, writers and musicians, and First Lady, Michelle Obama, – named by broadcasting experts as the “greatest radio programme of all time” – she’ll be…
