A fairy-tale island

The magic that is St Michael's Mount in Cornwall, UK

I was going to introduce you to more of Cornwall's magic in the last post, but was sidetracked by talking about Netgalley. This post, however, is to be dedicated to the Mount, the backdrop for the third in The Camelot Inheritance series.

I love this place and could visit it many times over... in fact I think I will be popping down there again very soon, West Cornwall has a personality all of its own; quite beautiful and, at times, mysterious.

The Mount is situated off Cornwall's north coast towards the very tip of the county and Britain.

Inspirational Cornwall - the stuff fantasies are made of.

Sun + Cornwall = A truckload of ideas

Sometimes it's important to take time out and chill, and it's so much easier when the sun is shining and the sky is wall-to-wall blue.
Cornwall is gorgeous at any time of year, even when it's raining and blowing a gale, it always has its own special sort of magic. However on a day like yesterday, it has a sort of Enid Blyton feel about it; a sort of living childhood memory.
Spot my home town, Liskeard, in Cornwall's heart.

Shortlisted and nominated!

To have one nomination is amazing, to have two is quite wonderful.

I was delighted and amazed to have 'The Time Smugglers' shortlisted for the 2015 International Rubery Book Award.
To find out , just a couple of days later, that both 'The Golden Sword' and 'The Time Smugglers' were nominated for the 2015 Holyer an Gof awards was incredible.

Merlin's Cave - a magical experience!

Merlin's Cave in #Cornwall.

Merlin features in book three of 'The Camelot Inheritance' series (yet to be published), so of course I had to visit this famed place.

There be dragons

An author-visit and a gallery of dragons 

Let me share an afternoon at Quethiock School with you :)

Quethiock School is a fabulous little school in Cornwall. I was delighted to make an author visit there and to spend a very happy afternoon with many wonderful children. They had imagination coming out of their ears and were so well behaved. Suffice it to say that if every school was run with the love and dedication of this one, the world would be a better place!

Rosie Morgan welcomes award winner, Gwen Dandridge.

Meet Gwen Dandridge -

Awarded the Awesome Indies Award for outstanding fiction.

It’s my very great pleasure to feature Gwen and her work as the first of my special posts this autumn.


Pete and I left France last week and are now back in my beloved Cornwall  in the UK. 
The summer lingers on, although the leaves are turning and the evenings are cooler - and we’re stacking the wood pile ready for the first evening with the wood burner for company.
But that’s quite enough about the weather because I want to introduce you to Gwen - and her work.
