As you can see, I love writing in a variety of genres. After writing An Affair With Danger, I realised how much I enjoy writing edgy, suspenseful stories with flawed characters who are often the underdogs and frequently don't act like heroes.

My latest novel A Time For Penance, published in May 2017, is about a woman who travels 20 years back in time to undo a murder she committed.

I'm a certified book nerd (too many books, not enough time!) and am a useful team member on quiz nights for the literary questions - but not much else. When I'm not writing or reading, I enjoy hiking and chilling out at the beach, which is five minutes drive from my home.

My partner and I walked the full Camino Frances pilgrimage across northern Spain in September 2016. It was a life-changing experience which will satisfy my appetite for adventure for a long time.

Although I have attended many workshops and seminars over the years on various aspects of creative writing, the one thing that I believe has been of the most value to me in my writing is reading a wide variety of books. As well as a good writing critique partner who'll give you honest feedback, which I'm also lucky enough to have. ...more

Do Memoir Ghostwriters Write Their Own Memoirs

This post was written by Robin Storey.

Yesterday I was asked, ‘Do memoir ghostwriters write their own memoirs?’.

It’s in the same vein as ‘Do mechanics service their own cars?’ or ‘Do doctors diagnose their own illnesses?’

To the first question, I can’t answer for other ghostwriters, but for myself, the answer is, happily, ‘yes.’

I say happily, because I think writing their own memoir gives a ghostwr

just a query, Phillip. I was trying to add the book I am currently reading in to the appropriate section,(books I am currently reading. It is not on the Amazon list, so I started to add it manually but by the time I'd got to the bit where I had to put the size of the book I'd lost patience! or is there any easier way to do it?
