Five Things From My Week: Lionesses Roar: Watching the Euros always reminds me that football and writing are basically the same thing. First book flops? First game disaster? Doesn't matter. You dust yourself off, stick to the plan, and try again. Because you never know when you'll score your winner or write your breakout hit. The secret is simple: just keep showing up, and never give up.Laughter Therapy: Caught up with old friends for one of those perfect nights where your cheeks hurt from laughing. Pure connection gold: the kind that reminds you why humans invented friendship in the first place.Plot Twist: Stumbled across my next rom-com idea while watching TV (see, Mum, it wasn't time wasted!). This one is an age-gap romance with a twist I've never seen before, proving inspiration really can strike when you're on the sofa eating crisps.Hardback Summer: I'm finally about to step into the world of hardbacks! Designer booked, typesetter ready, and I'm already fantasising about that new book smell and shiny foil letters. Maybe even sprayed edges if I'm feeling fancy. My inner book nerd is doing cartwheels. Watch this space. Cocktail Science: My recent cocktail experiments have been dangerously successful. Tequila Old-Fashioned, Coconut Rum Negroni, and an upgraded spicy margarita that could solve world peace. Like books, the best cocktails need a good story. But strong alcohol doesn't hurt either.What's been the highlight of your week?

Five Things From My Week: New Horizons: We were due to get the keys to our house today, but of course, it's not quite ready. However, like waiting for the next book from your favourite author, the anticipation makes it sweeter. Soon I'll have my new office replete with new desk, which surely means creativity on tap, right? We'll see if that's better than my current setup of caffeine and chaos.Sharing Is Caring: I spoke on stage this week to hundred of authors at the Self Publishing Show on London's South Bank. It was great to chat about my career and share some of the things I've learned in a bid to pay it forward. It's also good to remind the wider world that romance isn't just girl meets boy. It comes in many delicious flavours, and girl meets girl is where the real magic happens. A Sapphic Swoon: Between sessions, I hung out with fellow sapphic authors Sally Brooks, Jo Fletcher, and Iona Kane (read them!). When we posed for photos, Sally asked what you call a group of sapphic authors. Liz Rain dubbed us "a swoon". Liz, it's perfect. You should be a writer! ;0)Arty Farty: Last week, I took myself on an artist's date to see the Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts. I've never been before, but if you get a chance, go. The building is beautiful, and exhibition (which has happened every year since 1769) is an ode to new and aspiring artists, all styles and formats. Sometimes inspiration strikes in the most unexpected places, like standing in front of someone else's creative courage.Football Fever: Euro 2025 is nearly here, and every part of me is regretting not buying a plane ticket when it was first announced. Sob! However, I plan to do the next best thing: set up the telly in our newly painted lounge, and cheer the team on loudly. You can do that, too (in your lounge, natch). If you need a footy read to keep you company, check out ​The Princess Match​ or ​Hotshot​! ... See MoreSee Less

Love sports romance and royal romance? Then you're going to love The Princess Match! Want to read the blurb? One football goddess. One future Queen. One love that could change the game.Princess Victoria has perfected the royal playbook: calculated smile, convenient boyfriend, impeccable press. But behind the tiara ticks a heart that's tired of playing by the rules.Enter Ashleigh Woods: England's football captain, media darling, and living proof that authenticity scores every time. When Victoria pins an MBE on Ash's lapel, the instant chemistry jolts both their worlds.Stolen glances become secret meetings. Private texts become tabloid gold. And suddenly, Victoria's tearing up her royal rulebook for a woman who makes her feel like more than her title. Ash has faced down penalty shootouts in European Cup finals, but winning Victoria's heart? That's the match of her life.When their romance hits the headlines, it's game on: bow to tradition, or fight for a love that could change history. Victoria's got a crown to inherit. Ash has a legacy to defend. Neither planned to start a revolution, but when destiny meets desire, sometimes you have to risk it all to win.Get ready for Clare Lydon's latest game-changer: a royal romance that proves some matches are worth breaking every rule for.-Royal/sports romance-Celebrity romance-Flirting via text messages-Unique nickname-Spicy-EpilogueBuy it here: htt#wlw/#sportsromancep#RoyalRomance-#sapphic-#sapphicfictonp#sapphicromancey#sapphicbooksp#LesFica#lesbiant#lesbianfictionn#LesbianRomances#queeri#wlwbooka#wlwbooka#wlwtion #lesbianromance #queer #wlwbook #wlwbook #wlw ...

Fab to attend the Kindle Storyteller Awards this week. This year, it was held in The London Library, a venue I've never been in before, but one that was very cool to visit. Do you have a favourite #London haunt? #lesbian #lesfic #sapphic #queer #wlw
