New Photos
I recently had some professional photographs taken for PR and marketing in the future and to be honest I wasn’t looking forward to it. As a rule I just don’t like having my picture taken and never like the end result. I think I always end up looking goofy, or have my mouth gaping openContinue reading “New Photos”
Publishing Adventures in London
Earlier this week I had my first official trip to London as a soon to be published author. It was an intense and pretty exhausting time, but overall proved to be fascinating.

So this is a list of my favourite 5 books I’veContinue reading “My Top 5 Books from 2013”
December Update
Christmas is just around the corner and everything is starting to wind down at the end of the year. I’ve got a couple more weeks at work before I break up for a lovely break over the holidays, so I thought I would do a quick update.
