To think I thought morris dancing would be a gentle sort of exercise! My legs are still wobbly on Sunday evening, after dancing on Friday night. But I had a great time! I learned single stepping and how to wave my hanky. And I learned the choruses of two dances and a figure from each…
01. What are your nicknames? I’ve never had one. I don’t think I’m cool or memorable enough to merit one. 02. How does your hair look currently? I’m growing it out of a short layered style, so it’s currently shoulder length, straight at the top and curly round the bottom 03. What’s new in your…
I’ve been running a couple of blogs on WordPress for a while now, and I love their stats and ease of use. But they have one big disadvantage – no notification if anyone posts a comment. Lengthy trials have proved to me that I *need* that feature, or I just don’t check back and reply. …
Who has been the biggest influence upon your work? I’ve been writing since I was a little kid, but until the past two years, I’ve kind of cyclical. I’ll write, then I won’t. So I would say that if we’re just talking about this current cycle, which I feel is really my strongest and final…
I’ve written a post for Jeanne Barrack’s ‘Sweet Flag’ blog on the subject of historical ghost stories, which might be worth checking out if only to see how someone with no real authority on the subject gamely pretends to know what she’s talking about 😉 Alex Beecroft – Writing the Historical Ghost Story

I can’t tell ‘counsel’ from ‘council’. 2. When formatting a book, you…
We’re talking to Eve today on the eve 😉 of her new release, ‘Slave of my own Desire’. What upcoming project of your own are you most excited about? I’ve done contemporary, I’ve done science fiction, so I guess it’s time to move on to historicals. Two periods in history have always fascinated me: Ancient…
Thank you to everyone who chipped in with suggestions as to how to turn the flappy bits into a workable garment. It took me almost the whole day, but I have got there 🙂 This evening I sew the buttons on and make button holes for the fly (and lace the back), and then tomorrow…
I decided to put my icon making experience to work and see how I was at producing book covers. I’m hoping to have ‘The Boys of Summer’ finished by Christmas, so I thought there would be no harm done if I made a mockup of a cover for it which I could have at hand,…
(Not quite ‘see below’, but if you click on the picture it will take you to the ITV Lost in Austen page.) So, did anyone see ‘Lost in Austen’ last night? What did you think? I admit I arrived a little late and the modern girl had already switched places with Lizzie Bennett. But as…
