This weekend I was at the first RNA conference to be held physically since the last one in 2019, with Covid intervening in the meantime, of course. And after two years of attending the conference via Zoom, it was fabulous to meet up with people face to face again in the beautiful setting of Harper Adams University in Shropshire.      This is the third time I've attended an RNA conference at Harper Adams and it is my favourite venue, both for the great facilities and the stunning countryside setting, plus the fact it's only a two-hour drive for me! This year was a special one for me as I was one of the contenders for the Joan Hessayon award for debut authors. I didn't win but it didn't matter, as being caught up in the excitement of it all was an unforgettable experience. And to have The Welsh Lord's Convenient Bride highlighted in such a way was wonderful.  It was lovely too to meet the other eight contenders and discover their books.  The award was won by Suzie Hu

 A few weeks ago, I was a guest on Rachel Brimble's ' Guest Author Saturday ' blog and I'm delighted to return the favour and chat to Rachel here! Thank you for joining me on my blog today, Rachel, it’s great to have you here. Could you begin by telling me something about yourself and the sort of books you write? Of course, and thanks so much for having me here! I live near the wonderful, historical city of Bath and tend to set my books there, too. I have written contemporary romance and romantic suspense in the past but have been concentrating on historical romance/fiction for the last four or five years. I have been married for 24 years to the wonderful Mr B and we have two grown up children as well as a chocolate Labrador called Tyler. When I’m not working, I love walking, reading, knitting, and watching far too much TV! What inspired you to start writing? It was when I was around the age of eight or nine when I finished reading Enid Blyton’s Secret Seven series that
