I don’t just write books!


Yes, a little secret I have been keeping from you. I love to create new recipes and blog them.
As the holiday season is approaching, I thought I would share with you my slow cooked pumpkin chutney.



Christmas would not be complete without my Pumpkin Chutney. Its glorious sweet, tangy flavour, complements the slight spice of the coriander seeds, cardamom pods and chilli. A perfect accompaniment with cheese and biscuits, livens up cheese sandwiches, as well as being great with cold meat or chicken. Easy to make



Pumpkin Chutney
800g pumpkin cut into 1cm cubes      400g granulated sugar     
300ml cider vinegar      2 onions finely chopped     
1 small red chilli deseeded and finely chopped      ½ tsp ginger and garlic paste
½ tsp turmeric     
1tbsp coriander seeds      5 cardamoms pods bruised
1 bay leaf       1/2tsp salt


1.      Set the slow cooker to high.   Add the sugar and cider vinegar into the pot. Heat for 30 minutes then stir until the sugar has dissolved.
2.      Add the rest of the ingredients and stir well.
3.      Cook for 5-6 hours stirring occasionally. After 5 hours, the chutney should be thick with not much liquid. If still runny, cook for another 1 hour with the lid off.
4.      Spoon the chutney into sterilized jars.

STORE IN A COOL DARK PLACE FOR 1 WEEK. USE WITHIN 1 YEAR.
Somehow, it never lasts more than a week in our house!!!

A Pride & Prejudice Reimagining
It’s a fact, universally accepted,
that a gentleman and a lady,
when on the road to marriage and true
happiness, by their will or not, find themselves to be the center of attention
and news—both the good and the bad.
Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet are on the road to love and domestic tranquility. Yet of course, there must be something that bars the way of the happy couple, and that is Lady Catherine De Bourgh. Bitter at her nephew’s behavior to Anne, Lady Catherine is insistent on making Darcy remain loyal to the oath that he made. Wishing to make peace with her before he continues his nuptials, Darcy, along with the help of Mr. Bingley and Colonel Fitzwilliam, began to move forward with a plan to solve the dilemma.
However, even if they achieve peace with Lady Catherine, there is more of the Darcy family to encounter. In the state of Pennsylvania, Mr. Darcy’s American cousins are looking to reconnect with their English relatives. They invite Mr. Darcy and his new bride to Philadelphia, for a holiday. In hopes of gaining an ally to strengthen Elizabeth’s introduction into the family, they all journey to the United States, allowing Jane, Kitty, Mr. Bingley and Georgiana to journey with them. However, what first begins as a pleasant journey, leads to much emotional and political tension.
Follow the second part of ‘Pride, Prejudice, and New Adventures’, where we see that it’s not simply about obtaining a happily ever after, but finding what happens after it!

Aftermath
Awakened by Terror #2
I survived, physically. Leaving five bodies behind, I escaped the desert. With three more dead before it was over, Bell one of them, they were all dead. The other survivor didn’t matter. Bunny’s mind was gone. She’d never be able to tell what I’d done. I didn’t need any reminders of those days of terror, not of what I’d done, or the deaths I caused, not with the nightmares and blackouts in the aftermath.
Pratters, the only one who suspected the truth, used my fear of exposure against me. Months after I thought it was all over, he showed up with a brain damaged, crippled man. Dumping Michael on me, he told me I was the only one he could trust that those he worked with wouldn’t suspect. Making me the one to hide and help Michael, Pratters swore he’d altered records. No one would know where Michael had gone, both of us would be safe. None of the promises eased the new fears. What of Michael? Oh, my God, I wanted him. Did that make me the whore Bell called me?

My Christmas Books – Melange Books and Satin Romance



 Angel of Kindness
Megan Shepard was not looking forward to Christmas. Now divorced, all she had to look forward to was spending Christmas in Derbyshire, with her sixty four year old, bisexual, hippie mother, and a scrawny little sapling tree, overdressed with cheap decorations from the pound shop. However, her friends had other ideas, like taking her to Pinkie's Night Club, their old stomping ground as teenagers. This brought back memories of rah-rah skirts, fishnets, and legwarmers dancing to Madonna, until the DJ played The Power of Love, whereupon Richie King would take her hand and lead her to the dance floor.
Seeing Richie leaning against the bar in his unforgettable Danny Zucko pose, she knows the right thing to do would be to walk in the opposite direction, yet finds herself walking straight to him, and taking the advice of her unconventional mother. Swept off her feet to the winter wonderland of Manchester's Christmas Market, romantic walks in the snow of the Derbyshire Peak District, and fireside dinners, she has to wonder if Richie really changed, or has he something to hide?
