I've been meaning to write this post for a year.  Yes, you did read that right - A YEAR.  March 31st 2015 was the day I got 'the call' from Charlotte at Harper Impulse offering me my very first contract.  To say it was a total shock is an understatement - I'd submitted  The Meet Cute  to so many publishers and agents without success that I'd all but given up hope of them getting published.  In fact, I wasn't even sure which submission Charlotte wanted to talk to me about because I'd subbed to Harper Impulse so many times over the previous year! It sounds like the biggest cliché, but as soon as Charlotte said she loved the Meet Cute collection and wanted to publish them as individual releases (I'd put them forward as an anthology) it was like a weight had been lifted.  Most writers get attached to their work - I think that's normal, actually - but I'd really felt like this series needed to be 'out there'.  It felt fresh and excitin

It's almost publication day for The Boy with the Boxes ! The Blurb Rosie's starting afresh.  Her best friend and former housemate is starting a new life in Australia leaving Rosie to move into a new flat on her own.  But when she meets her next door neighbour, Rosie realises she may not be quite so alone after all... This is a really special story to me as it's as much about friendship as romance. I dedicated this one to my best friend because not only has she shown me endless support , she genuinely believed in me and my writing, way back from when it was fan fiction in my teen bedroom.  I hope this Meet Cute makes her smile. The Boy with the Boxes is dedicated to Jen The Boy with the Boxes will be published by Harper Impulse on April 7th 2016 and is available to preorder now Amazon UK Kobo Sainsbury's
