Blogging away from home

I'm blogging over at Amy Lane's today talking about what inspired Lovers Entwined and how that story could have been called something else.

Happy Birthday Clare London

Today I'm over at Clare London's taking part in her birthday blog party.

I'm talking about 'The End'. Sound dramatic, eh?

Check it out and see if I'm making any sense at all.

But it's not just me, there are some amazing posts by all your favourite authors. Clare has complied a handy round-up guide here with links to the individual posts for ease of use.

I'm not here

I'm over at the Dreamspinner Blog chatting about New Lease of Life.

If I were a Boy can be found here.

I'm over at RJ's blog today

answering questions about Christmas.

Oh and there's a giveaway too.

Check out the main post to see what else is on offer.

The 11/11 Sale - Focus on Me!

Pop on over to Love Lane Books where I am blogging on  Eric is opening a parcel from his gran and thinking about the things that he misses from home.

What the hell has film noir got to do about anything

I've been chatting about Film Noir over at Prism Book Alliance as part of the blog tour for Lovers Entwined.

Film Noir, you say. What has that to do with anything? Read the post to find out. I ask a question at the end of the post and I'd be interested in any recs.

Another stop on the blog tour

I've been interviewed over at Drops of Ink. Find out if I'm a pantser or plotter, what my superpower would be, and much more. Plus there is a small excerpt from my current WIP.

Release Day for Lovers Entwined

It's release day for Lovers Entwined. My first foray into self-publishing (even if it is a previously published work) and as such it fell to me to arrange the promo too. I had some ridiculous idea about doing it myself and then realised that I had neither the time, the contacts, nor the know-how. So I contact Sid Love over at Creative Minds Promotions and let him take all the stress (well, some of the stress) out of things.

So I'm going to put my feet up and... nope, I better let you know there is a blog tour going on all this week. Blog posts, interviews, reviews. It's all happening. And a giveaway, of course.

TITLE: Lovers Entwined



AUTHOR: Lillian Francis



PUBLISHER: Finally Love Press



COVER ARTIST: Meredith Russell



LENGTH: 98,950 words



RELEASE DATE: August 3, 2015

BLURB: Ewan Matthews is one of Boston’s leading genealogy experts. When a would-be bridegroom comes looking for confirmation that there are no skeletons in his ancestral closet, Ewan considers turning the job down. Trey Capell is a jerk of the highest order and yet Ewan experiences an infuriating attraction that’s easy to justify. Trey’s exactly his type—a carbon copy of the man Ewan’s been looking for his entire life.

Harder to explain is the sense of recognition that leaves Ewan speechless the moment Trey steps into his office. Or the stomach-churning sensation at the thought of casting the job aside. Trey gets more appealing by the day, leaving Ewan struggling with forbidden desire for his client. Desire not helped by strange voyeuristic dreams that have started to haunt his sleep. Dreams that appear to be an echo of the past.

Blogging away from home

For anyone that missed my tweets and messages on Facebook, yesterday I was guest blogger for Sunday Spotlight over at Prism Book Alliance.

If you want to see me chat on about Popular Culture and it's place in contemporary romance (or not, as the argument goes) then pop on over there and have a read.

If you want to join in the debate (about Pop culture, not whether they were on a break) leave me a comment there and I'll get back to you.

Just when you thought it was safe to pop back to my blog

Yes, I'm still blogging about When Love Flue In. After several weeks of blogging silence on the subject I'm back, because when better to blog on a Christmas release than Christmas Eve.

I'll be talking once again about Mince Pies. I covered the history behind one of my favourite festive treats over at Katherine Halle's blog a couple of weeks ago. Today I'll be blogging over at Guys Like Romance Too about the many different styles of Mince Pies on the market today and when you can expect to have them thrust upon you.

Also there will be a pie-centric excerpt from the novella and a giveaway.

Don't worry, last stop

And finally we arrive at the last stop of the tour. Today I'm sharing my thoughts at Therese Woodson's blog about epilogues and when you need one.


Have you been paying attention? Don't forget one lucky commenter could win a copy of When Love Flue In just by answering this simple question.

Which king alledgedly had his life saved by a chimney sweep?

That's it. All there is to it. The answer I'm looking for is in one of the posts from the blog tour.

Leave the answer in the comments along with your email address so that I can contact you. Then I'll pick a winner from all the correct answers. (I will check Goodreads in case anyone has answered at the blog post over there.) I'll be keeping the contest open for a couple of days so feel free to enter unless you see a comment from me confirming the winner.

Good luck and thanks for popping by.

Not run out of things to talk about yet?

Today you'll find me over at Elin Gregory's blog discussing the history of chimney sweeps.

I must confess the post got rather depressing considering it is promo for a Christmas story. Luckily, When Love Flue In contains none of these elements. I'll apologise now, though.

For goodness sake woman put a sock in it

Today I'll be over at Meredith Russell's blog (check out the link to her cover art work while you're there).

My inane ramblings today will involve additional content and the type of scenes guaranteed to strike fear in my heart when I'm asked to knock one up.

Me again

Hello again. Yep, it's me.

Today I'm discussing one of my favourite festive treats over at Katherine Halle's blog.

The Mince Pie. Where did that idea come from and why do we eat it at Christmas?

Stop One

On the first stop of my mini tour I'm blogging over at RJ's blog. Well, Reagan is actually. He's going to tell you all about life as a modern day chimney sweep.

To recap

I know the links in Friday and Saturday's posts were misbehaving. These have been updated to the correct links but I'll list them here as well.

Female First

ARe Cafe

This has been a public service announcement.

Announcing a mini blog tour and a chance to win

So When Love Flue In has been out a couple of days and already I've blogged in a few places that were arranged by Totally Bound. (Thanks Holly.) But feeling the need for the familiar I decided to gather (aka pester) some friends and arrange a mini blog tour of my own.

The stops for the tour will be

RJ Scott 
Katherine Halle
Meredith Russell
Elin Gregory
Therese Woodson

Follow each of these posts and at the end of the tour I'll pose a question. It could be taken from any of these five posts. Correct answers will go into a hat (probably an actual hat since I don't know how these random generator jobbies work) and the lucky commenter will win a copy of the ebook.

Announcement over. See you again tomorrow.

Wherein I babble on again

So if you didn't hear enough of my opinions yesterday there are yet more oportunities to listen to me going on in the coming week.

Today you'll find me over at ARe Cafe discussing what type of read I hope to find whenever I pick up a Christmas story.
