New Release

Today I'd like to tell you about my latest release, Lucky Mr M, from Pink Petal Books. It's a lightly erotic novella about Lorna, a young woman who learns to explore her own sexuality, which in turn helps her to realise some of her own desires.

While on this subject, I'd like to talk about the realisation of dreams and desires. How many of you have had dreams that have been forgotten about or pushed to the wayside? Or how about those you just never thought could come true?

I only bring this up because I was talking to a friend recently about fate. Do you believe in it? In that whole "one person for everyone" theory. I used to believe in that. Then I got older and I thought, "what happens if you find that one person for you, against huge odds, and then they're taken from you by some means or another?"

It seemed so grossly unfair. Now I think that perhaps there are 1000 people you'd be a nice match with, 100 people you'd be great with, and a handful that you'd feel blissfully happy with, a total personality match, let's say.

And then, how do you KNOW? Is there a sign? Do you get a letter?

Hollywood has a lot to answer for when it comes to love, I tell you. So does fiction, I suppose, but what can I say. I love escaping into a good book, and part of that is why I write. You get to take on someone else's dreams for a while, to experience their highs and lows, to cheer them on and comfort them. And then maybe, when you turn the last page, when you've read the happy ending, when the protagonist has made their dreams come true, you'll be spurred on to realise your dreams, too.

Lucky Mr M will be available for download from April 22nd.
