Hoboken Cafe, New Jersey
This fab cafe in Hoboken is on the same street where Frank Sinatra was from - and where my friend lived. I popped out several mornings during my visit to work on the edits for The Songbird’s Way and to drink a tonne of great cawfee!
Martha's Vineyard, MA, USA
Cashel, Galway, Ireland
I’ve rented this cottage in Connemara a few times when I’ve needed to fully escape city life, to breathe the clear air and enjoy beautiful countryside as I work on my word count. This bench is my favourite spot - see next pic for why . . . :)
Cashel, Galway, Ireland
This is the view from the bench. I even have a painting of this view as my lovely Mum came to visit once and painted it for me - it is one of my treasures, very special x

Writing a story 😍
This bureau was passed down from my grandmother to my mother and from her to me. I love it so much, so it was really special to see my nephew inspired to write on it too :)
