I am delighted to share an interview by Awesome Gang featuring yours truly. It is always exciting to take part in author interviews, and some of the questions really got me thinking – not least, your desert island books. What would yours bet? Let me know in the comments below!

Sandstorm – add extra heat to your summer
I am loving my new promo images for Sandstorm! While I am all for the beach read – and that is the most common feedback on Sandstorm, that it is a perfect beach read – I love this evocative image of the desert and how it ties in with Sandstorm. What do you think? Have …
Return to the blue bar…
In March, I returned to Dubai and the Novotel World Trade Centre – the scene for many an escapade within Sandstorm, and also home to the legendary blue bar. It felt great to be back in a place that inspired me so much, and is also the setting for one of the raunchiest scenes in …
World Book Day 2022
For the second year in a row, I took part in World Book Day through an online interview with a Year 6 class in Bury – where my old university friend, Vicky, is a teacher. This year was special, however. Firstly, Vicky didn’t have a chance to edit the questions, meaning that I was asked …

progress
Goodness, Facebook has reminded me that today marks 13 years since I published my poetry and photography collection, progress. The poetry was written during one period of my life, the photography taken during another, and yet they came together to create a magical, glossy book. I remember several people crying with the emotion of progress, …
