My teenage writing heroine was probably Jilly Cooper and, for lots of girls my age, reading Riders was a rite of passage. My favourite way to spend a Sunday as a teenager was to lie on my bed with my back pressed up against a warm radiator, reading until Sunday had slipped into Monday. We’ve done this before on the blog, admittedly, but I’ve always loved reading and tried writing my first novel at aged seven. Here’s the two of us a few years later, rocking that late 70s look! She might have driven me mad at times, but I still missed her when she wasn’t there. Although, being older, she would pick on me a bit and gang up with the girl next door to make me eat mud! My now wild, Russell Brand-esque hair was more desirable back when I was a toddler, and it was all cherubic curls, which everyone raved over… until, one day, when my mum was on the phone and Sam decided to give me a rather drastic home hair cut! Despite all of this, one of my earliest memories is, aged three, standing with my face pressed up against the yellow metal gate at the end of our path, waiting for my sister to come back from her first day at primary school. We were typical sisters, who bickered a lot but also played together. My first memories are all linked to a house we moved to when I was three years old, as I don’t remember the house we lived in before at all, and many of them to my older sister of two years – Sam. It’s also a great way to discover blogs you might not have known about… My writing friend, Liv Thomas, who with her co-author recently had a top ten Kindle bestseller with Beneath an Irish Sky, under their pen name of Isabella Connor, has invited me to take part in the Lovely Blog Hop, in which writers talk about some of the things that shaped their life and writing.Īt the end of the post, I’ve linked two other writing friends, this time from the Write Romantics, who will tell you about themselves.
