Bird Trilogy

Writing the Dark Nest – A Series of Problems

The Dark Nest was, without a doubt, the hardest book I’ve ever written.

Writing From Experience

You may have heard the advice that you should write about what you know. I’m a huge believer in the power of writing from experience.

The Rules of Make Believe

Once you’ve come up with your ‘out of this world’ idea, you then need to make your own rules that apply.

Scene Setting

A setting needs to be more than just a place that people exist in. It needs to complement the characters and bring the story to life.

An Unexpected Sequel

As I’m now writing a fourth book in my Bird series, I’ve been reflecting on how stories can take you places you never expected.

I’m a Sucker for Romance

It was when I was planning my first novel that I realised what a sucker for romance I really am.
