The Garden of Shared Stories by Clare Swatman | #timetravel #romanticfiction #bookreview | @rararesources @BoldwoodBooks @ClareSwatman

A time-travel romance you say? Count me in! I love these kind of impossible stories and imagining ‘what-if?’. Emma and Nick meet on a bench in a bandstand in their local park. They are …

Five Things I Love About You has has had a facelift…. And is now called A Chance Worth Taking! What do you think of the new cover/title?

Some lovely book post from @clareswatmanauthor.bsky.social and @boldwoodbooks.bsky.social. Thank you very much. If you like a little romance with a north-east setting then this book could be right up your street. #BookSky #BookBlogger Check out my review here tinyurl.com/3x5fvb39

This has made my day ❤️

I took part in the last one - it’s so good. Marian’s insight was very compelling and gave me lots to think about - and relate to 😄 On our course we also got feedback from @clareswatmanauthor.bsky.social which was so helpful. Her words were kind and her critique was thoughtful and constructive.

I’m halfway through writing book 13 which means it’s almost time to decide it’s the worst book ever written and start all over again. Why doesn’t never get any easier?!!

It’s been a whirlwind publication week - but Five Things I Love About You is finally here!

I’m thrilled that my thriller No Son of Mine has just been accepted into Amazon Prime - which means it’s ABSOLUTELY FREE to download! (and if you don’t have Prime, it’s still only 99p and I’d love you forever if you downloaded it anyway!)

#FiveThingsILoveAboutYoy from @clareswatmanauthor.bsky.social and @boldwoodbooks.bsky.social was such a lovely, heartwarming romance. I’m excited to start #BadInfluence from C. J. Wray (aka Chrissie Manby) and @orionbooks.bsky.social as I loved #TheExcitements

It was great catching up with familiar characters in the cosy crime mystery #TheCornishCastleMurder from Fiona Leitch and One More Chapter. Now it’s time for a little romance with #FiveThingsILoveAboutYou from @clareswatmanauthor.bsky.social and @boldwoodbooks.bsky.social #booksky

I turned 50 this week and when I see the number written down it looks really old. But I don’t feel old. I still feel like me in my twenties (if a bit more tired). So I’m reframing it all as lucky, and am determined to achieve all of my dreams - or at least try my hardest! Watch this space…

I have a new book coming out! Five Things I Love About You is out on 24th April and is a story about love, fate and searching for happiness.

I love writing love stories of all kinds but I’d say this is the most unashamedly romantic book I’ve ever written. What’s your favourite love story?

I love writing books, but I ADORE writing these two words. This book, my second thriller, has been a tricky one to write with several false starts and a couple of pauses to replan along the way. But this evening, finally, I hit 83561 words and it feels brilliant!

I’m trying to get my book finished this week so of course I’m going to spend most of it faffing around on social media….

I have news! My psychological thriller, No Son of Mine, has dropped to 99p/0.99c on kindle! So if you fancied giving it a go, now’s your chance!

Copy edits for book 11 to go through this weekend and am already irritated by them. Am on page 7 of 222 🤣

AI has its uses, but giving it the capability to steal work and pass it off as original is not one we should be striving for.

'A government spokesperson said: “Current uncertainty about how copyright law applies to AI is holding back the creative industries and AI sector from realising their full potential."' I notice the government are not sugesting the power companies give the AI sector their electricity for free.

My publisher asked for a photo of me holding No Son of Mine and this is the slightly startled result. Anyway, please buy my book, I promise it’s good!

I’m 76k words into my WIP and I’ve hit a brick wall and can’t seem to find an ending. Please send help!

The light was lush out and about on my walk yesterday. This is the longest walk I’ve managed since my knee op and I’ve really missed it

Did you know that as well as women’s fiction, I also write psych thrillers as CL Swatman? Here's a little story about how it all began. . . When I started writing No Son of Mine, I never intended it to be a thriller. I had an idea for a story that explored the 'nature-versus-nurture' theme. 1/1

Thank goodness for electric blankets. *shivers*

Scuse me, can someone write my book for me please because I’ve forgotten how….

This is an interesting article - and as a full time writer who has considered quitting and finding a salaried job numerous times, quite a depressing read…. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
