Blog

If you're a midlife woman who loves books and dreams of starting over, this blog is for you. Added points if you love contemporary women's fiction and have always thought you could write a book. Sign up and you'll also be part of my mailing list so you'll never miss any of my book updates including new releases, pre-orders and special offers, along with how to guides and my experience of starting over in midlife. 

The Writing Mentor newsletter is where I ponder on the complications of midlife,  the latest and greatest books, the challenges of being an over-40 writer, how to maximise your chances of getting published, and of course, the joy of reading.

I've been through it all, written six novels, landed book deals, secured agents, left agents and survived submission. I also left a permanent and pensionable job and started a completely new life in Spain, all after the age of 40. Learn from my experience to avoid making the same mistakes and get some insights into my life as a writer, along with the latest book news, by signing up for my free Writing Mentor Newsletter.
