Christmas is coming so it's time to soak the fruit. Two bottles of brandy in there. I didn't actually measure the fruit, but there's enough for the pudding, a Christmas cake, and the bottomless jar of fruit mince in the fridge.

We've had our afternoon walk. Very quiet in the dogpark today. You can see why there's a dog on the cover of my latest release, The Scandalous Widow. I can't remember life without a dog!

My latest release. Available in all the usual places, and gathering decent reviews. Althea, Lady Hartleigh, is a widow with attitude. The last thing she needs or wants is a man, let alone a lawyer. The second last thing is family. She's about to get both!

I'm here. I can only hope this place is less annoying than Facebook with the endless scammers and fake generals begging for friendship.
