The Heroine Who Wouldn’t Behave Herself If you watched last Monday’s Facebook Live, you’ll know that this week’s discussion is one I’ve put off for a couple of weeks: Military Careers When Soldiers Wore Swords. We love to adore the red-coated soldiers parading through our historical romances — just think of Rupert Friend in Pride & […]

If you’ve read even a little King Arthur fiction, then you’ve probably noticed that every second companion and lord in King Arthur’s court is a king. Yet they’re all bending the knee for Arthur…who is also a king. So how does that work? Is it just more of the messy half-truths that got stuffed into

I first posted this in November 2015, but there has been some changes since then! Notes on the way through… There were two major influences that drove me as I wrote Heart of Vengeance, one of them positive, the other horribly negative…but I’ll get to that one in a minute. The positive one was an

When I first wrote Terror Stash, it didn’t have a romance in it at all. I wasn’t entirely sure I was even going to publish it under my own name. It was a straight thriller, not set in North America, but did feature an American heroine. It was set in the obscure and little-known area

Within a couple of weeks of arriving in Canada, once the almost permanent headache that came from concentrating so hard on the funny accents had gone away, I came to a startling conclusion. Now that I was in North America, I was free to read and write the wildly different types of romances that you

I first started writing romances for publication when I was still living in Australia. When I began, I did a lot of research about writing for Romanceland, and what editors of the day were looking for. Nearly everyone I knew that was also writing, was writing for publication with Mills & Boon–about the only romances

I write a lot of sexy books. You may have noticed. 2013 was one of my peaks of productivity for books. I wrote and released nearly two dozen of them. And nearly every single one of them was an erotic romance. One can get awfully sick of describing sex after so many books, although I
