Lacey Dearie is a writer from Ayrshire, Scotland. She has lived her whole life in the Ayrshire countryside and sets many of her stories in this area, or in the places where her extended family live.

Then I sit with a drink and in my head I write the story of their lives and why they are there. If my block is really bad I'll go back to the town where my day job was and just walk around with my headphones in my ears listening to music like I used to do on my lunch breaks. That reminds me what I don't want out of life and motivates me.(less)
Lacey Dearie Being able to create whole worlds and new people in your head. It gives me a real buzz.

Nobody ever ended up in Candlelight Lane by accident. If you were there, it was because you intended to be there. No signs pointed to it, no maps showed it and the road leading to the single street hamlet was completely hidden from view by the surrounding hills. It wasn’t even on Google Street View. If you were there, it wa Read more of this blog post »

Sharon Milligan is 10% done with Why Can't I Just Enjoy Things?: I’ve only read the first chapter and I want to give it five stars already.

“She shook her head.  ‘I’ve missed those cute little squeaks.  I thought I’d lost him for good!’ ‘Squeaks?’ Leger yowled.  ‘I do not squeak!”
Lacey Dearie, Leger's Fear

“Without further warning, Lily leapt onto Bob’s head and sank her teeth into him. ‘Die, mouse!’ she screeched.”
Lacey Dearie, Leger's Foe

“Brianna glared at her great-aunt.  ‘You mean he’s dead?  Like the bird Leger brought in the other day?’ Annabella and Hugh’s eyes widened and they laughed heartily.  ‘I’m not a baby, you know,’ Brianna sulked.  ‘You can talk to me about death.  Everybody dies.  I know that.”
Lacey Dearie, Leger's Miracle
