Joining Ocelot Press!

After a hectic few months that saw many tricky editing jobs, French level 3 university studies and dissertation, and various other bits and bobs (yes, bobs too!), I'm finally ready to share my good news:

I have joined an author collective of wonderful writers of – mainly – historical fiction (in various sub-genres) at Ocelot Press! The group is made up of Crooked Cat Books authors past & present. I'm looking forward to working closely with, and supporting, fellow Ocelots Nancy Jardine and Vanessa Couchman, who both have already published several novels under the Ocelot banner (find details of their gripping stories set in Scotland and Corsica respectively on the Ocelot Press Facebook page) – and those writers due to publish through Ocelot later: Jennifer C Wilson, Nicola Slade, John Jackson, Sue Barnard, Yvonne Marjot, and Ailsa Abraham.


Over the coming months, I shall bring Highland Arms across (which began life at The Wild Rose Press back in 2011, then was self-published), and, hopefully in the late summer, my upcoming release, Love Lost in Time. Both will be available in ebook and paperback formats (initially from CreateSpace, but I'm also exploring Ingram Spark as additional printing outlet).

It's a very exciting time for all of us. New beginnings, and all that. We'd be thrilled if you followed us. Thank you!

In the meantime, please follow us Ocelots and keep informed about our fabulous releases:

And please don't forget to check out my fellow Ocelot Press writers’ websites. You'll find some intriguing and fascinating reads!

Welcome N. Gemini Sasson, historical fiction author!

Today, I welcome historical fiction author N. Gemini Sasson , whose latest release, The King Must Die , the sequel to Isabeau , is out now. As part of the Goddessfish blog tour, she is also giving away a $25 Amazon gift voucher to one random commenter on the tour! But first, to find out more about her, I've asked her some questions. I hope you'll enjoy the excerpt below, too. Here goes... Welcome to my blog. What inspired you to write about this particular period? Jean Plaidy’s books, which I devoured during my teenage years, introduced me to the Plantagenet kings of England. She and other writers like Sir Walter Scott and Alexandre Dumas were definitely early influences, but the story that inspired me to explore the 14 th century and eventually write about it was the film Braveheart. I know, I know, there’s a lot of fiction to it, but it was a very dramatic and moving story. After seeing it, I knew I wanted to write something epic like that. I started out writing a

Welcome romance author D'Ann Lindun

Today, I'm hosting fellow romance author, D'Ann Lindun . If you - like me - love cowboys, you're in for a treat! ;-) Falling in love with romance novels the summer before sixth grade, D’Ann Lindun never thought about writing one until many years later when she took a how-to class at her local college. She was hooked! She began writing and never looked back. Romance appeals to her because there's just something so satisfying about writing a book guaranteed to have a happy ending. D’Ann’s particular favorites usually feature cowboys and the women who love them. This is probably because she draws inspiration from the area where she lives, Western Colorado, her husband of twenty-nine years and their daughter. Composites of their small farm, herd of horses, five Australian shepherds, a Queensland heeler, eight ducks and cats of every shape and color often show up in her stories!  So, to discover more about D'Ann, I've asked her a few questions. 1.  Wha
