What are the main themes in And Then That Happened? Romance – being with the right, and the wrong person, and how sometimes you don’t know which is which until you get a glimpse of the other side of the coin. What it’s like to be with someone you’ve fallen out of love with. How... Continue Reading →
TNA: Hi, Rebecca, welcome back to The Novel Approach. It’s a pleasure to have you here visiting again. Many years ago I read a short story of yours, Captain Merric, which you wrote for the Cross Bones anthology.

Hi, all! Thanks to everyone at The Novel Approach for having me today. :) I’m here to talk about my new release, Hook, Line, & Sinker. First, a little bit about the book. It’s a spin-off for one of the secondary characters from Wood, Screws, & Nails, which came out earlier this year, but if... Continue Reading →
I personally love excerpt and giveaway posts. For one thing, I have a hard time coming up with clever and interesting things to talk about. One can only poke one's friends so often for ideas before said friends start telling you to leave them the heck alone. For another, it's the story I like to... Continue Reading →

One of the subplots in Sleigh Ride revolves around Arthur’s nephew, Thomas, who is six years old and has a doll. Thomas appeared in the story after I’d been writing for a month. Something seemed to be missing, and then one day when revisiting the opening, Arthur started talking to his nephew, which was delightful—and... Continue Reading →
Beautiful Queenstown It’s not always possible to visit the places where you set your books, either for geographical or monetary reasons, and that’s fine; that’s what Google Earth is for, right? But in the cases where it is possible, I’m of the opinion that it’s a good thing to do. Google Earth can’t tell you... Continue Reading →

I’ve never been particularly comfortable with the random parts of life. Like my character Caleb Jorde, in Random Acts, I would prefer to know what’s coming in life and to be afforded with plenty of opportunity to structure my world into clear emotional categories in order to prepare. That way I’d be ready for any... Continue Reading →

Have you experienced bullying and how did you cope? Hello, and thank you so much for hosting me on your blog! I appreciate it! I was a cute, slightly built child growing up in Australia.
