I’m Elise, the queen of procrastination. Scrolling through social media is my nemesis. Anyhow, I sat down one not-so-sunny Thursday in September to write a little more on Blind Luck, looked something up, got distracted (as usual), and found myself on Facebook. Liel popped up in my feed. I’ve spent a […]
Research is one of my favourite parts of writing, and once again, I’m digging around in the murky world of poisons. Aria (she from the book I’m currently writing but am yet to decide whether to publish as it’s dark, dark, dark) likes to use curare, and as I puzzled over a weird sense of […]
Today, Emmy and Black are here to answer your questions, and maybe give a few hints of things to come in the Blackwood series… EN: It’s been a while since I visited Riverley. I like what you’ve done with the place. The giant chess set in the hallway is certainly…interesting. Emmy: *Rolls eyes* Bloody Bradley. […]
The cover of Stolen Hearts is one of my favourites. It looks Photoshopped, right? Well, it’s had a few tweaks, but perhaps not quite as many as you’d think.

Some garments incorporate pictures too. If you’re a writer, you can even upload your own story and have it made into a scarf or a […]
We’re fast heading for the new year, so I figured I should probably make some attempt at getting organised (which has never been one of my strong points!). In 2017, my goal was to publish a book a month, and I’ve done that, although December’s release will be a box set rather than a new […]
Scroll down for giveaway! I published my first book in July 2015, and so much has happened since then! I’ve set another fifteen books loose on the unsuspecting public, writing has become my job as well as my hobby, and the first book in my Blackwood Security series, Pitch Black, has been downloaded […]
I don’t usually listen to music when I write, but with Red Alert, I just couldn’t help it. Some of my favourite songs pop up in the book, so I thought I’d put together a playlist so you can listen to them too… Eva Cassidy – Autumn Leaves Red Alert – Basement Jaxx Etta James […]
A little experiment… Have you ever wondered what would happen if the characters in a book made different choices? If the heroine went with the safe option rather than risking everything? I’m as guilty as anyone about second-guessing my decisions and freaking out in case I made the wrong one, but I also believe that […]
So, with two weeks to go until Ultraviolet, what are the guys at Blackwood getting up to? Here are a few hints… James vs. Black Black vs. Nick Nick vs. Emmy Diamond vs. Black Emmy vs. Bradley Dan vs. Emmy And if you’d like to order the book, here are the links: […]
