Lisa Matthews's Blog

There are three reasons why I’m being a bit of a sheep and writing about the Royal Family split.

Saving Project Lisa was definitely a close second, but probably gives off the impression that I’m working on myself. To be clear, and in the voice of...

Despite the fact that Maths is far from my favourite things, this is what we’re opening with.

I wrote the first draft of Spellbound in 2012. I finished it and typed it up few months later.
