Hold onto your hats, this…is Don’t Tell The Bride: The Untied Kingdom edition! This is the show where the groom gets the whole wedding budget, and the bride gets no say in how it’s spent.
Tonight, the pressure’s on for ex army major Will Harker, as he attempts to organise the perfect day for his bride [...]
Grab your fascinators - it’s Four Weddings time! To celebrate the release of The Wedding Diary by Margaret James, we’ve asked four lovely Choc Lit authors to imagine their characters’ weddings.
Which wedding would you most like to be a guest at? Don’t forget to leave your vote at the end of the post!
What do weddings mean to most of us?
That’s in addition to the ceremony, the public affirmation of love and devotion, the joining of two people and hopefully two families forever?

Dear Linda,
So, it’s your 17th birthday - many happy returns of the day. But remember, it’s okay to eat cake but not too much - a moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips and all that.
That school report which stung so much? You’re still reeling from it. What was it Mr. Knight said? [...]
I’m sure I’m not the only novelist who dreams about her books being made into movies. It’s always good to share, and it’s been great to hear the audio versions of my Choc Lit novels - to listen to someone else’s interpretation of what I wrote. Sometimes I don’t remember writing that bit at all!

Hello from Sunny California where I’ve just stopped by a Starbucks coffee outlet for their free wi Fi so I could post my blog called It’s All About Romance - an appropriate title since this 3 week motorcycle/camping trip around California is all about just that.
It all started with the idea that instead of attending [...]
When you’ve had a book published, done all the PR/blogging/tweeting etc to launch it into the world and things start to calm down again, the question you are asked most frequently is “what are you working on now?” (That is, if you are talking to fellow book-lovers/writers, not family members who still haven’t realised [...]
IT’S ABOUT TIME….
Nearly midnight, and I need to get the blog done - it’s about time I got down to it.
By Matteo Ianeselli
So 12th April is A Day in the Life of…. I’ve been mulling this over for a while, and wondering how to make shopping/working/eating/sleeping interesting. But hey, this is [...]
