Earlier this week, I got the chance to interview the lovely Isobelle Lans of Inspired Lines Editing to hear all about how she fell in love with words and stories. (Check out the blog here) So, I am super excited to announce that Isobelle and I are collaborating again over on Instagram for a November Writing Challenge! Each day there will be a prompt to help you think about your current work in progress or your writing in general. It’s the perfect accompaniment to NaNoWriMo, if you’re taking part this year, as a way to focus your thinking before you get down to getting your words written for the day.
Head on over to mine or Isobelle’s instagram page on to take part! We want to see what you’re posting, so don’t forget to tag us and use the hashtag #AllAboutWriting

It’s Day 3 so here goes
1. As well as Ireland (I’m Irish) I’ve lived in London, The Hague and Auckland for 21 years in total
2. I have a Rhodesian Ridgeback x called Barney who is the funniest dog I’ve ever met
3. I do a passable imitation of Steve Van Zandt (Syl) in The Sopranos
Favourite authors – Marian Keyes, Michael Connolly, Sandra Brown, Stephen King, Jo Nesbo, Michael Russell, Kate Atkinson, and on and on
My inspiration for this novel was an interview about domestic violence during COVID lockdown. A woman told how, when the announcement was made, her husband stood over her and said “Let the Games begin”. That’s what I’ve called the book. At the moment 🙂 It could change before I’m finished.
