Plus One is a Lucky Number - Book Birthday!

You know how your first child makes you a mum (or dad). Well, my first book made me officially an author. 

Obviously, you're always a writer if you write. 

But it's not until you're holding that book in your hand (if you're lucky enough to get it into paperback) or seeing it on a good ebook seller site - published! - that you don't really feel like an author. (Well, I didn't, anyway.) 

Plus One is a Lucky Number was published on the 29th August 2013. (Yes, I know I'm a day late.)

And I became an author! 

The paperback came out on the 8th May 2014 - which was the best feeling ever too! To hold your paperback! 

This is my FAVOURITE romance trope. I love the whole fake dating, pretending to be a relationship. My favourite rom coms are The Wedding Date and Just Go With It and even The Proposal. 

Plus One is a Lucky Number had a new book cover last year. 

Here's the blurb: 

A swoon-worthy, fake dating romance perfect for fans of Sophie Kinsella and The Proposal!

Sophie Trewyn is going to a wedding where the invite is strictly Plus One.

But with her single-girl status not quite complying with the dress code, and the best man being none other than the shady ex she would rather forget, Sophie needs a wedding favour and she needs it fast…

Enter dreamy co-worker, Adam Reid. But after the wedding weekend, on the sunny Cornish coast, Sophie must decide… is their relationship real or is it all for show?

Buy here :)  and at all other great eBook sites.

Happy birthday, Plus One is a Lucky Number! 

Happy 80th Birthday, Dad!

Yesterday we celebrated my dad's birthday. He was 80! 

He doesn't look it or act it, mind you! 

He can out cycle me and walk for miles and miles. He doesn't ever get tired! 

We were planning on a trip to visit the steam trains (Bishops Lydeard to Minehead) which was the day out we used to do when the boys were much smaller, Dad's birthday falling in the school holidays. 

But they no longer run on a Friday - which was his birthday!  

So we did our next favourite thing, other than visit a National Trust place, and visited Slimbridge, The Wetlands.

The last time the boys and I went, we were coming out of lockdown, and Dad didn't come with us. (I used to have membership.) 

It was FAB to get to feed the birds again, especially one very confident swan. 

Ben, never a lover of dogs, is not afraid of swans!

Slimbridge did not disappoint. There had been some further updates and new bits to explore.

It brought out the big kids in us, although we didn't venture into Wellyboot Land - they grew out of that area years ago!

But it was a tranquil day bird watching, with a canoe safari thrown in for fun, too.

The cutest thing was watching one of the otters sunbathing and playing with her stone. 

And finally, after all the years we've been visiting, we saw the water voles! Hurrah! 

Plus we picked up a couple of Gromit Unleashed sculptures, as came home via the A38 (rather than M5) and stopped at Thornbury, too. 

All in all, we had a Grand Day out! 

Happy birthday, Dad! 

My garden would not look as awesome as it does without your assistance. 

I am always grateful the help you've given me over the years. Not sure where I would be without you.

Here's to more fun days out!

Fancy The Perfect Poolside Read...

So we're in August already, how the hell has that happened? And we're on that slippery slope aren't we? 

We're going to have people getting excited about the C word... (Christmas) but I'm getting excited about another C word - Cyprus! 

Yes, my friend and I have booked a holiday away. No kids. Just us and cocktails in Cyprus. I AM SO EXCITED! 

Of course I'll take a notebook, as you never know where inspiration may strike. 

Today I even bought a floppy sun hat! 

If you're going on your holidays soon, my books are the perfect poolside read. I write warm, uplifting and fun romances. And currently, One Fine Day is only 99p! 

(All of my books are available in Kindle Unlimited too.) 

One Fine Day is a romantic tale of love, loss and Clark Kent disguises as Steve Mason sheds the trappings of his success and enlists his beloved sister Ruby to find him The One.

Holiday tip: Always pack the Kindle for holiday, then you literally can not run out of books! 

Tell me what you're reading!
