Stuck in my sickbed today with a virus of some sort. Too tired and achy to work on my edits, and had to miss meeting up with my lovely author friends from the RNA. Feeling grateful for my #Kindle! #RNATuesNews #authorlife

Sharing a piece I wrote for @writing.ie on writing and timing - being accidentally zeitgeisty, finding ‘the dead hour’, chaos vs order as a parent. Plus, the vital role played by my dishwasher in the writing of my debut novel, ‘Chaos Theory’!

#RNATuesNews This morning I completed my #Goodreads 2025 #ReadingChallenge with The Irish Midwife by @Seana.Tinley. I very much enjoyed this story of a young handywoman from Belfast navigating her training as a midwife with a romance along the way. Perfect for #saga readers and fans of #histfic.

Screenshot of 2025 Reading Challenge: Congrats! You’ve reached your goal. 65 of 65 books read, 113 days left.
