Every name on a memorial stands for more than a life: also a bereaved family, community, unit of comrades, and friends. I mourn with the families whose loved ones never returned. And I’m grateful to those today who risk their lives to serve. #RNATuesNews #remembranceday #remembranceday2025
#RNATuesNews my structural edits are in and I’ll be heading to lovely #Bournemouth on the weekend for the Romance Writing Festival. Looking forward to meeting other authors of #romanticfiction, and learning lots. If you see me there, say hi! 👋 #authorlife #respectromfic @romancewritingfestival

#RNATuesNews This morning I completed my #Goodreads 2025 #ReadingChallenge with The Irish Midwife by @Seana.Tinley. I very much enjoyed this story of a young handywoman from Belfast navigating her training as a midwife with a romance along the way. Perfect for #saga readers and fans of #histfic.

The new WIP is now up to 8000 words.
Meanwhile, Leo is helping me with research, reading Married Love by Marie Stopes. Published in 1919, it was considered shocking by helping couples have a more satisfying physical relationship.
