Blog Tour / Guest Post: ‘The inspiration of The Corineus Theatre’ by Tracy Corbett, author of Summer Theatre By The Sea

Today on the blog I’m so happy to welcome Tracy Corbett , author of Summer Theatre by the Sea with a guest post all about her inspiration behind the Corineus Theatre. Don’t forget to check out all the other awesome stops on the tour. Guest Post: It’s probably no surprise that The Corineus Theatre in The Summer Theatre by the Sea is based on The Minack in Penzance. What a stunning venue. The stage is cut into the rock face, looking almost as if its suspended in thin air. With the waves crashing behind and the wind swirling around the stone walls, it’s quite a spectacle. I hadn’t realised until visiting the theatre to watch a production of Amadeus that the cast are all amateurs. Each summer season various amateur groups from around the country travel down to Cornwall to put on a show. The quality of the shows are brilliant, and it’s quite an honour to be chosen to perform there. Naturally, as someone who loves amateur dramatics, I was captivated, my creative juices began to flow and the […]

Blog Tour / Guest Post: Author Note – Where are the ‘Little Cornish Isles’?, by Phillipa Ashley author of Christmas on the Cornish Isles

So we are getting closer and closer to Christmas. Which means that there are lots and lots of lovely Chrismassy books out including Christmas on the Cornish Isles by Phillipa Ashley. Below Phillipa talks about her inspiration behind the ‘Little Cornish Isles’. Where are the ‘Little Cornish Isles’? The Isles of Scilly are one of my favourite places in the world – not that I’ve travelled that much of the world but I’ve been lucky enough to visit a few locations renowned for their stunning coastlines, including Grenada, St Lucia, Sardinia, Corsica and Southern Australia. There are some beautiful beaches in all of these places but I think the white sands and jewel-like seas of St Mary’s, St Martin’s, St Agnes, Tresco and Bryher are equally, if not more breathtaking, than any of those exotic hotspots. From the moment I first glimpsed Scilly from a tiny Skybus aircraft in September 2014, I was smitten. From the air, the isles look like a necklace of emerald gems fringed by sparkling sands, set in a turquoise, jade and sapphire lagoon. (Just remember […]

Blog Tour / Guest Post: ‘How I’m Learning to Manage My Energy for Writing and My Time’ by Emily Elgar, Author of If You Knew Her

Guys today’s guest post is from the lovely Emily Elgar, author of If You Knew Her. Below Emily explains all about her mantra ‘manage my energy not my time.’ in the below post’How I’m Learning to Manage My Energy for Writing and My Time’. Do you have any good mantras that help you? Emily’s words: Before I started writing, I had jobs with pretty ‘normal’ hours. I’d be in work at 9.30am and leave at 5.30pm there’d be a bit of over time or a few late nights here and there, but that time would carefully be recorded and taken in lieu. It made for a relatively steady time. It also complimented the protestant work ethic – a good days grind being seven or so hours sitting at a desk – largely drummed into me at school. At first, writing didn’t feel like work. My jaw didn’t ache from gritting my teeth, there was no smoke puffing out of my ears. I was so overjoyed that writing was now my work I couldn’t understand where the ‘tortured artist’ sterotype came from. Then […]

Blog Tour / Guest Post: ‘Inspiration behind The Honey Farm on the Hill’ by Jo Thomas

Today I am super excited to welcome onto the Blog Jo Thomas with her inspiration behind The Honey Farm on the Hill as part of the blog tour! Have any of you yet read The Honey Farm on the Hill? Or an book by Jo Thomas? If not I highly recommend that you getting cracking because Jo writes some divine books. And are perfect for a holiday read. Or if your not going away for a bit of sunshine. Below Jo shares some of her inspiration behind the book, particularly why she choose Crete and its famous Honey… The Inspiration: Writing a book for me is liking going into my kitchen pantry and seeing what ingredients I’ve got there and what I’m going to make for dinner. I’ll have a vague recipe in mind but no real idea of what to put in it. I start with the country I want to write about and the food of that country. I find that once you discover the food of a country, it takes you by the hand and introduces you to the […]

Guest Post: ‘6 Secrets Behind Wishbones’ by author Virginia Macgregor of Wishbones

Today I am delighted to be part of the Blog Tour for Wishbones by Virginia Macgregor. Where Virginia will be talking about 6 Secrets behind Wishbones. Will you be able to guess them? This is a book, an author who has been on my to read list for ages. I’ve not yet been able to read this book but when I do I know it is going to be epic.  Don’t forget to visit other blog stops along the tour for other great content. Below Virginia shares some of the 6 secrets behind the creation of Wishbones. Six Secrets: A few years ago I went on holiday to Austria with my husband and we visited a farm with some baby goats. I fell in love with their gorgeous quirkiness and immediately wanted to take one home. Sadly, British Airways doesn’t allow for the transportation of pet goats, so I did the next best thing: I wrote one into a novel. Which is how Houdini, the mischievous goat, was born. A while back I read a really sad newspaper article about a woman who […]
