    Christmas Blog Party: Jonathan Phang

    My Christmas Blog Party concludes today with a beautiful post by food writer and journalist, Jonathan Phang.  I've only ever known Jonathan as Joey - his parents, Roy and Maureen were good friends of my father.  They all hailed from Guyana, Roy and dad were both dentis...

    Christmas Blog Party: Tara Guha

    I met Tara about eighteen months ago at a Guardian Masterclass in London.  Amongst a sea of very varied writers, Tara and I seemed to be in a similar writing place: we had both started writing (seriously) after the birth of our firstborns, and had both experienced abou...

    Christmas Blog Party: Cheryl Rees-Price

    Sometimes you just meet someone and you know.  I met the lovely Cheryl at a book launch a couple of months ago.  She's a writer of crime fiction and a fellow Accenteer.  Anyways, talk turned to how we handled public readings and appearances....this is when Cheryl told...

    Christmas Blog Party: Harri Atkins

    This author malarkey can sometimes feel like quite a lonesome experience so it's always a real joy to meet other local writers. I met the lovely Harri last month at the launch for 'Second Helpings' through a mutual friend. Like me, her debut novel, 'Inside The Cuckoo's...

    Christmas Blog Party: Christina Philippou

    I like meeting writing kindred spirits and Christina falls under that category - we're both from the Surrey/North Hampshire area, published by small independents and are juggling writing with little kiddies.  I would say Christina is far more accomplished at doing it t...

    It's all about the Accenteers for the next couple of days and today it's lovely to welcome Karen to my blog: a fellow writer of contemporary women's fiction.  She also writes children's fiction and YA and I'm really happy to see she's a great advocate of creative writi...

    Christmas Blog Party: Jenny Kane

    Jenny Kane is a fellow Accenteer (that's a new word now, it's official...) but also an amazingly prolific blogger and writer. I am totally in awe and a little bit jealous that she gets to write under lots of different identities, and across so many genres including con...

    Christmas Blog Party: Shirley Golden

    I'm not sure I can write about Shirley without getting a bit emosh.  I first met her back in 2002.  We were both field researchers who had been paired together in a project run by Southampton University.  It meant we cultivated a friendship sat in my rusty Micra usuall...

    Christmas Blog Party: Victoria & Rosemary Gemmell

    I first met Vikki via the awesome power of social media.  She had read a short story I'd written for Mslexia magazine, found me on Facebook and wrote me a lovely message to say how much she'd enjoyed it.  When you're starting out in writing and don't really have that m...
