Girl From the Kip


Updates 

My second historical novel set in Victorian England is coming along nicely. 

I already have the cover, and love it.

Mollie, is one of my favourite characters.
I'm wondering, is she based on me, or do I wish she was?

Either way, I love the way she stands up for herself and those dearest to her.


My other historical eBook, 'Taking a Chance' by Susan Williams, is still available on; Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple books and Smashwords   99p

‘I don’t know what you mean?’
‘Don’t be so naive. Have you any protection?’
‘I’ve never needed any.’
‘You practice safe sex, right?’
‘I’ve never needed anything before, because I’ve never… I’m sorry, I didn’t expect this to happen.’

He looked at her and gasped. Then he cuddled her to him and said, ‘Please don’t tell me you’re a virgin?’
‘I’m sorry.’

‘Jeez,’ he groaned, as he lay back on the pillow.

My first contemporary novel will be available on Kindle ebooks on Amazon within the next three days. These novels go under my pen name Ann Blackford.

The Perfect Gift by Ann Blackford  £2.25


When Hannah starts dating Mason, she cannot believe her luck. He is handsome, rich, kind and considerate, and lives in a world she can only dream about.

Unfortunately, Hannah is shy and not as confident as she appears and sometimes, it makes things difficult for her, as she tries to adapt to a life of wealth and privilege.

But against the odds, she falls in love with Mason and wants to lose her virginity to him, but he has other ideas and rejects her; stating that she is giving herself away too cheaply.

She is devastated, and when she meets his ex-girlfriend, who is the most beautiful woman she’s ever seen, she feels inadequate; especially as she suspects he may be sleeping with her.

Then, out of the blue, he relocates to America and she is heartbroken.

However, Mason eventually returns home, and having missed her, he tries everything he can to win her back. Sadly, jealousy, heartbreak and rejection stands in the way of her making a commitment, but he perseveres.

Eventually, they do get together, but life is not straightforward, and whenever things seem to be going their way, something always comes along to ruin it.

Over time, Hannah’s dreams of a fairy tale romance fade, when she realises, that the happy ever after scenario she craves so much is a pipe dream.

However, as her confidence grows, she takes matters into her own hands and discovers an inner strength that allows her to move on with her life.

An Example from my Contemporary Novel
'The Perfect Gift' by Ann Blackford
Available now on Amazon, only £2.25


Ann Blackford is the name I use for my contemporary  novels.

I think I may have mentioned I am concentrating on three genres.



He laughed, then said, ‘My bedroom is out of bounds to you.’
‘Why?’
‘Because I said so. Perhaps you should go home after all.’
‘OK, what’s this all about? I’m offering myself to you Mason and you’re refusing me again?’
‘I guess so,’ he said boldly.
‘But why, granted I haven’t had much experience, but you can teach me?’
‘Don’t do this Hannah. Don’t demean yourself like this, you’re better than that.’
‘What’s wrong with you. I’m offering myself to you, no strings attached and you’re not up for it?’
‘Don’t be crude, it doesn’t suit you.’

Hannah was shocked at his response and suddenly, she felt dirty.
‘I’m not good enough for you, am I?’
‘Don’t be stupid. You’re a virgin Hannah, a virgin! I’m the one who’s not good enough for you. Can’t you see, I’ve been around, played the field. I don’t deserve you.’
‘But isn’t that what people in a relationship do, they have sex? If you don’t do it, somebody else will, what’s the difference?’
‘Being a virgin is something beautiful Hannah, yet you’re giving it away so cheaply.’

The Girl From the Kip

Yay, finally completed my Victorian novel ' The Girl From the Kip,' which will be available on the kindle, in one week, two months or a year, depending on that thing called life.

I suppose I should celebrate with a cigar, but I don't smoke, so looks like I will have to celebrate with a cup of tea. 

Oh lucky me!

Update on what I am working on

Trying new writing genres all the time. Coming soon, ' The Perfect Gift'  a contemporary romance.


This one will be under the pseudonym of Ann Blackford.

Will update at a later date.

All my books have been written over the last thirty years. I haven't been lucky enough to have been born with a super power that allows me to think them up as quickly as they appear.

I am concentrating on three Genres.
Historical Romance
Contemporary Romance
Short Stories


Writing would be so much easier, if only LIFE didn't keep getting in the way. 

Sometimes, what I wouldn't give to be able to write for a whole week without any interruptions.

Working on New Titles

Writing updates

Half term and for the first time in three weeks, I'm not coughing and feeling more like myself. I'm working on several writing projects at the moment, contemporary and historical.

I wrote them a while ago and not sure which one I want to publish next?

I've also got an historical novel on the go, but that won't be available for a while.

I need to knuckle down now and focus on one project, I know that, but I have so many stories I want to put out there.

I'm going to have to force myself to do one thing at a time, and believe me, that's not going to be easy.

Time for tea, that will put things into prospective.
