Pitch Party Heaven - Waterstones, Gower Street 24th April (Update)!
Pitch Party Heaven – Waterstones, Gower Street 24th April (Update)!
I lived in London from 1993 to 2005 and when I left, after falling in love with a Scotsman, I really felt my love affair with our capital city had come to an end. But I should have known that you can become very cross with London but you never stop loving her. Unbound’s inaugural Pitch Party was hosted by Waterstone’s Gower Street deep in the heart of Bloomsbury. My first love attended UCL and I…

Out now: Paws and Claws
Source: Out now: Paws and Claws The brand new Cake & Quill Anthology out. Some of the writers are new and some are regulars but all share a talent.

There is no heartbeat, Mrs Stirling.
There is no heartbeat, Mrs Stirling.
Miscarriage is a terrible loss. I had one. This what came out after half a bottle of whiskey and hours of those painful hacking sobs. My heart and love to everybody who has experienced this in any way. x I lost a baby four years ago. At 8.5 weeks after seeing her heart beat. I haven’t been able to talk about it, but I can write about it. My throat cracks and splinters when I begin to form…

An Interview with the wonderful Lesley Glaister.
An Interview with the wonderful Lesley Glaister.
You have had 13 books published by major houses, which, for most of us reading, is the ultimate dream. How do you view writing? As a job or a compulsion. Both. It is certainly a compulsion as it would be a bonkers career to embark on without that inner impulse. But it’s also a job. Writing a novel means sitting down and putting in the hours … 2. Do you enjoy the writing process? Do you…
Irish Roots, Irish Thoughts
The Agreement Discontent and the tragedy of poverty starve our bloody English history of truth as the political tanks, soldier boys and girls march past peace and hope. A simple twist of fate and green bullets have masked a ceasefire and nothing is left but blood and havoc to wreck a longing for tolerance. See the defiance deep in Phoenix Park, religion and farce unite while idle, drunk…

My New Venture
Don’t worry I’m never going to give up writing but because my darling husband is unable to work at the moment though illness I had to think of something to support my family and my writing. So with an American chum, Oscar Lilley, an American Vet and Wyoming native we created Stirling Robyns Publishing. We are starting with BANG. A short story competition with cash prizes and all sorts of other…

Sometimes, I come off my meds and it can be for varying reasons. But the one that never changes is my visceral need to ‘feel’.
