Romance, suspense and chocolate-butterscotch pie: author Sharleen Scott’s triple delight!

Helena Fairfax15 Comments

I’m excited to welcome author Sharleen Scott today with a delicious offering: her page-turning romantic suspense and her family’s recipe for chocolate-butterscotch pie. They both sound absolute heaven – and I can imagine curling up in front of the fire on a cold November evening with both of them! Welcome, Sharleen! * * * *…… Continue reading Romance, suspense and chocolate-butterscotch pie: author Sharleen Scott’s triple delight!

What a wet and windy day it is today. Autumn is definitely here . The wind has blown loads of leaves onto my front path, and the pavement outside is all soggy with them. Time for my boots and mittens! But at least the rain provides a good excuse to put the central heating on…… Continue reading Good to meet you…author Sheryl Browne

We’ve been promised a heatwave here in Yorkshire, but it doesn’t appear to have arrived yet. Hard to believe the sun is going to shine at all, in fact. My garden is dripping wet, and the sky is a leaden grey. It’s a dismal day to welcome guests, but I’ve made Matthew Peters some hot…… Continue reading Good to meet you…author Matthew Peters

Today’s been another lovely summer’s day. We’ve had brilliant weather all July, and the roses in my garden have great, heady blooms. Their scent is gorgeous, too, and it’s the perfect place to sit with my guest and have a chat. Welcome to Yorkshire, Renee Charles. Lovely to meet you! Where do you live, Renee?…… Continue reading Good to meet you…author Renee Charles

Heather Greenis on how dreams inspired her writing

Helena Fairfax9 Comments

Today the talented Heather Greenis is back on my blog with some news about her upcoming releases.  (You may remember Heather’s first visit in June.) In fact Heather would have been back last week, but had to postpone because her team had reached the next level of a major curling championship.  How exciting is that! …… Continue reading Heather Greenis on how dreams inspired her writing

This time last year I travelled to New York with my niece, to support her in the NY Marathon.  We arrived in the middle of a blackout, in the terrible aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.  The marathon was cancelled, and my niece was very disappointed.  (That’s an example of British understatement :) )  But despite everything,…… Continue reading Good to meet you…author Margaret Mendel

I have fellow British author Jane Richardson with me today, and we’re outside in my back yard soaking up the rare Yorkshire sunshine.  Lovely to have a warm day!  I’ve poured us some tea and cut us both a slice of Battenburg, and we’ve been having “a right good call.”  (Call rhymes with pal -…… Continue reading Good to meet you…author Jane Richardson
