Are We Friends on Instagram?

 

Instagram Grid


I spend an awful lot of time on Instagram. It's full of books, dogs and cats, and baking, so why wouldn't I? It's my favourite social media platform as it's far less political and cesspit-like than some of the others and filled with lovely, joyful things instead.


I like to post pics of books, mugs of tea, writing updates and my Jack Russell, Luna, and hopefully soon there will be some flowers and bugs from my garden. So if this is the kind of thing that interests you too, you can find me here

Are We Friends On Instagram?



I love using Instagram, whether I'm sharing photos of my dog, Luna (cute), my attempts at baking or crochet or other crafty stuff, or shouting about books (my own, but mostly other people's). And I love seeing other people's pictures and stories (especially if they contain books and/or dogs and/or cats).

Instagram is a lovely, friendly place to be (I have yet to see an Instagram spat) and it's probably* my favourite social media platform, so I'm always looking for more people to follow!





*it absolutely is my favourite

Kindle Unlimited - Read My Books For Free!


If you're a Kindle Unlimited subscriber, you can currently read five of my romantic comedies for free (though this can change over time, so please do check).


The books are:



One summer can change everything…

Mae has no time for men in her life! Local vet Alfie might be totally gorgeous but she’s far too busy looking after her young daughter and running her little bed & breakfast by the sea.

Willow is in the middle of building her dream home with her husband, Ethan, when disaster strikes. And with every month that passes she secretly worries that her happy ever after will never come true…

Melody only intended to stay in the bustling seaside town for a few days. But when she meets Hugo – the charming man in the ice cream van – she decides to stay a little longer.

It seems the little bed & breakfast is full of surprises!






Ruth loves nothing more than curling up in front of the telly with a family-sized bar of chocolate. She doesn’t do diets and she certainly doesn’t do exercise. But all that changes when she’s invited to her school reunion.

Bullied at school for being overweight, Ruth’s first reaction is to rip the invitation into a million pieces. But then Ruth hatches a plan. She’ll lose the weight and arrive at the reunion looking gorgeous and glamorous, leaving her old classmates in awe. Especially her former crush, Zack O’Connell.

With the help of her friends and a new, unbelievably hot colleague, Ruth begins her transformation. With six months until the reunion, losing weight will be a piece of cake, right?






Three women. Three weddings. But who will say I do – and who will say I don’t?

Ruth can’t quite believe she’s managed to snag The One but when he proposes, she can finally accept that she’s found her happily ever after. But when Ruth finds herself booking her dream church for just six weeks away, she starts to panic. You can’t plan a whole wedding at such short notice. Can you?

Trina has only just walked down the aisle, but she’s already starting to question whether they can make their marriage work. Will they survive the honeymoon period, or have they just made a very big – and very expensive – mistake?

Erin has somehow found herself agreeing to be a bridesmaid for the tackiest wedding known to man. With drunk hens, ridiculous outfits and a terrifying wedding planner, just what has Erin signed up for?







Will you…date me?

Delilah James, singleton and smoothie-addict, has six months to find a date for her oldest friend’s wedding. Oh, and to prove to her ex, best man Ben, that she has totally moved on since he dumped her out-of-the-blue nine months, eight days and seventeen hours ago…

So, with her two BFFs playing Cupid, Delilah launches herself into the high-tech, fast-paced and frankly terrifying world of dating. Luckily there’s the hot new guy at work, Adam Sinclair, to practice her flirting on – even if, as a colleague, he’s strictly off-limits!

Yet time’s running out and date after disastrous date forces Delilah to tell a little white lie – and invent a fake boyfriend! But will her secret crush on Adam ruin everything? Does she even care about Ben anymore? And is it too late to untangle her web of lies and take a real date to the wedding…?






Be careful what you wish for...

Ally Richmond is dreading turning thirty and bidding farewell to her youth. And when her husband says he wants to start a family, she begins to panic.

Is this all that life has to offer from now on? Popping out babies and growing old gracefully? She wants a life crammed with glamour and spontaneous adventure, not one full of dirty nappies and night feeds.

When Ally makes a silly birthday wish for a new, exciting life, her wish is granted.

But when Ally is presented with the freedom and opportunities she craves, she soon realises this new life isn’t all it’s cracked up to be and that there really is no place like home. But can she find her way back - or is she stuck in this new reality forever?



Happy Reading! :)

5 Tips For Working From Home


Times are scary at the moment (thank you, Corona), and we're being asked to stay at home more and more, whether you're social distancing or full-on self-isolating. Part of this involves working from home if you can, so I thought I'd share a few tips I've picked up as a writer over the past few years.



1. Embrace the Slob




Some of you will start off this working-from-home journey with good intentions. You'll tell yourself you're going to treat working from home as you would going into the office; you're going to dress smartly, put your make-up on, brush your hair. This may happen - for a little while or for the duration of your home-working - but really, what is the point? Nobody is going to see you (not even the postman, if they're still working by the time I hit publish on this. Simply shout through the letterbox that you're self-isolating and they can dump the parcel on the doorstep and run like the wind).

Embrace the slob. Work in your pyjimmies (or jogging bottoms if you really must get dressed). Forget the make-up. Laugh in the face of your hairbrush. When will you get this opportunity again?

Important note: brushing your hair is optional, brushing your teeth is not. You can take the whole Waynetta thing too far.


2. Beware the Fridge




This is a difficult one, because the fridge is right there, just a matter of steps away, with yummy food tempting you throughout the day. It'd be so easy to nip in and grab a snack, over and over again. This isn't so bad if you're self-isolating for 7 days. But 12 weeks? That's a lot of snackage. Of course, this may not be a problem if the crazy stockpiling continues, because your fridge will be bare anyway...


3. Social Media Is Your Friend




If you're used to working with others, it can be a bit of a shock to suddenly be on your own with nobody to chat to about last night's telly, so social media is a godsend. You may not have colleagues within speaking distance, but there are millions of people in the same boat as you. Get on your social media platform of choice and get nattering (just don't forget to do some work as well!)

4. Take a Break




It's tempting to grab something to eat at your laptop, but I always make sure I have a proper break at lunchtime. The laptop is shut and put out of reach for an hour, which is the perfect amount of time to catch up on some telly or Netflix. If you're not a coach potato like me, you could read a book or go for a walk (unless we're on complete lockdown by the time I publish this) or potter around the garden. Now is an ideal opportunity to have a natter with your social media colleagues.


5. Headphones Are Also Your Friend




You may not be the only one in your house while you're trying to work. My husband and I have been working from home together for the past seven years and we haven't killed each yet - and that's partly down to headphones. They come in particular use when I'm listening to festive music; my husband doesn't want to hear Christmas music in December, never mind in March when I'm editing a festive novel and want to set the mood!
