About The Book

 

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…?

 

 

US Kindle Monthly Deal

Hello! How are you all? We're mid-way through the school half-term holidays so I'm juggling the plotting of Book 8, getting everything ready for The Little Bed & Breakfast by the Sea's publication and blog tour, putting the final touches to my first newsletter and child wrangling at the moment. Busy, busy, busy!

 

Speaking of my newsletter, it will be going out tomorrow, so if you haven't signed up, you still have time. You can see all the details, including the giveaway I'm running, and sign up here.

 

I wanted to flag up a Kindle promo that's going on at the moment for the readers who use amazon.com. The Little Teashop of Broken Hearts will be just $0.99 for the whole of June as part of the US Kindle Monthly Deal, so if you haven't got a copy, now is the perfect chance!

 

 

 

From fairy cakes to first dates!

 

Maddie Lamington’s dreams are crumbling around her. If she doesn’t come up with a plan to save her little teashop on Sweet Street soon, it might be too late…

 

So when she sees how the perfect apple crumble brings together her lonely father and faithful customer Birdie, inspiration strikes: she’ll set up a dating night involving all her sweetest bakes.

 

Luckily, seriously gorgeous Caleb is on hand to help sprinkle a little magic – and a lot of sugar! Could one night of scrumptious first dates fix Maddie’s heartbreak and save her beloved teashop, too?

 

Buy now for $0.99

 

 

 

A Quick Catch Up!

 

I'm working on two books at the moment - books 7 & 8. They're at very different stages: Book 7 is very nearly ready to be released (more details soon) and Book 8 is in the planning stages.

 

 

I'm reading A Year at the Star and Sixpence by Holly Hepburn. It was originally released in smaller parts, but I'm too impatient and had to buy the complete collection to read all at once!

 

 

I haven't got anything I'm hooked on at the moment - I'm still in the throes of a Line of Duty hangover. I do quite like watching Police Interceptors though. If I believed in guilty pleasures, this would be one! 

 

 

I haven't seen a new release for aaaaages. The last one was probably Finding Dory last summer! I like watching older films on DVD or Netflix, so it was probably Look Who's Talking Too.

 

My new book, The Little Bed & Breakfast by the Sea is out soon (28th June) so I'm listening to summery songs to make a book playlist.

 

 

Mostly books, writing and Luna!

Book News: Introducing The Little Bed & Breakfast by the Sea!

I am so excited to share the cover and blurb of my soon-to-be-released book, The Little Bed & Breakfast by the Sea!

Escape to the seaside this summer!

Mae loves running her little Bed & Breakfast, it’s the perfect place to raise her adorable four-year-old daughter! And no matter how persistently local vet, Alfie, chases her, she just doesn’t have time for men in her life.

Willow is busy building her dream home with her husband, Ethan, but 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 to capture the perfect photo. But when she meets Hugo – the charming man in the ice cream van – she decides to stay a little longer!

One thing is for sure, summer at the little Bed & Breakfast by the sea certainly has a few surprises in store…

 

 

What do you think?

 

I absolutely ADORE the cover and I can't wait to share Mae, Willow and Melody's story with you!

 

 

The Little Bed & Breakfast by the Sea will be published on 28th June, but it's available to pre-order right now!

Happy Easter Weekend!

Happy Easter weekend! If you're in the UK, it's probably raining (it is here in Manchester), but that just means we get to stay inside and read, right? I'll also be getting a little bit crafty as I want to make some Easter treat bags for Rianne and Isobel - I'll post a photo on Twitter and Instagram later!

Yesterday, we made some Easter fairy cakes, which were really simple but a lovely homemade treat that were perfect for a bit of family time during the school holidays. I'll be posting some recipes from The Little Teashop of Broken Hearts on the blog in the next few weeks and, as fairy cakes are Maddie's favourite sweet treat, I'll be including the recipe for our fairy cakes! There will be four other recipes, with a bonus fifth included in my newsletter, which you can subscribe to here.



We'll be having a pretty relaxed weekend, enjoying the chocolate and treats the Easter Bunny brings. I'm pretty sure the Easter egg hunt will have to take place indoors because of the rain, but it'll be fun and chocolatey inside or out!

However you spend the weekend, I hope you have a good one! 😊
