Starting a new book is hard sometimes but also it can be liberating and fun to return to a world you have created. However that first line is always the hardest isn't it? #writer #writingjourney #workinprogress #historicalfiction #writingcommunity

Just pre-ordered what I know will be another fabulous book by my amazing friend @drlindseyfitz.bsky.social Nothing stopping you from doing the same my friends 🧡

In #TowerofVengeance the Devil is a very handsome, seductive man because how else would he tempt people? He is also one of my favourite characters especially to write.  Who is your favourite character in your books or other writers' books? #historicalfiction #characters #book

It costs you nothing and who could deny that little face? #reveiws #historicalfiction #writer #book #readers

Ravens would follow wolves to battlefields where pickings would be rich indeed! But in my #workinprogress Tower of Wolves they have a very different relationship. #research #raven #wolf #writingjourney

What would happen if the ghosts of Maude de Mandeville and Anne Boleyn met? What stories they could share! Maude is the first Tower female victim, poisoned by an egg, whereas Anne was executed by a sword. At least Maude kept her head! #AnneBoleyn #TowerofLondon #historicalfiction

If you want to review my book, feel free to do so but the clue to in the word free - I am not paying you to do so! The same for interviews, podcasts, etc etc. I know all writers feel this pain....#writingcommunity #indieauthor #writer #reviews

1214 Maude de Mandeville is poisoned by an egg for rejecting a King- she makes a deal with the Devil to avenge her death and protect her family. A pact that will last for eternity. #historicalfiction #book #lovetriangle #witchcraft #darkromance

Looking for your next #historicalfiction read? Power, seduction and lies.....

Thirteenth-century #historicalfiction which has all the drama you would expect from the #toweroflondon where #ghosts are only a cobweb away. Why not make #TowerofVengeance you next read? #kindleunlimited

Ravenscourt is a Kindle of the Month deal for 99p for the ebook! What's not to like - a cheap read, a Gothic thriller, a haunted house, Venice and a dangerous woman! #GothicFiction #KindleDeal #Book #DarkRomance

The best piece of advice is always write the book! Without the book you have nothing to edit, proofread, cover design or market. And who else just loves seeing their book published and as a physical paperback? #historicalfiction #authoradvice #writethebook #readthebook
