Mini road trip with old friends, exploring Tewkesbury, Ledbury and Hereford, where we saw, amongst other things, a Tudor house with a rare painted room, the Hereford Mapa Mundi and a chained library. Also had some fabulous meals thanks to our hosts! #wanderlust

Has anyone else watched The Other Bennet Sister? I love the book and was a little wary of watching the TV series, but I needn’t have worried - it was brilliant! The cast are all excellent, especially Ellen Brucolleri, who plays Mary. Highly recommended!

#RomFicFriday My favourite research for my books is visiting a beautiful location to check I’ve got the details right. I also like to research the job my characters do. The heroine of my next book is an art conservator- and I now know a lot more about art restoration than I used to! #writerslife

Lynne Shelby Writer @lynneshelby.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

It's #RomFicFriday! Sometimes, as an author, I wish that my characters knew that I'm supposed to be in charge of the plot! They do tend to go off and do exactly what they like, and fall in love with each other when they're supposed to stay in the friend zone until the final page!

Fall in love on #ValentinesDay - with a book! DANCING IN THE MOONLIGHT When Finn left, Nell never imagined that 10 years later she’d be dancing in a show that he is choreographing. When she didn’t tell him her secret, she thought she’d never see him again. #romancebooks mybook.to/RpvQ6g

#RomFicFeb26 - a month of authors and readers celebrating romantic fiction Day 5 - What are my books’ locations? I have written books set in Paris, Rome, a seaside village, a Greek island, and a West End theatre. Where would you like to travel with a book?

Lynne Shelby Writer @lynneshelby.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

It’s Day 4 of #RomFicFeb26, and today’s question for authors is ‘do you write in other genres or sub-genres? I write contemporary romance novels, but I do have a dual timeline, Rome For The Summer, which is set in 1816 and 2016. mybook.to/RpvQ6g

It's that time of year when authors find out how many times their books have been borrowed from public libraries. I've just checked, and my summer romance books were borrowed more times in 2025 than ever before!! Thank You so much to everyone who has borrowed my books from their local library!

Saw Christmas Carol Goes Wrong at the Apollo, in London’s West End, this week, and can’t remember when we laughed so much in the theatre. The cast are brilliant, with perfect comic timing, and certainly know how to work an audience. A very, very funny show, and highly recommended. #londontheatre

Anyone else remember watching the Live Aid concert on TV, along with the rest of the world? The fabulous musical, Just For One Day, which we watched yesterday at the Shaftesbury Theatre, tells the story of Live Aid. And it’s raised over a million £ for the Band Aid Trust! See it if you can!

Visiting Canterbury, I was delighted to see that Chaucer has been joined on the street by Aphra Behn. I’d no idea she’d lived in Canterbury, or that there was a campaign to mark that with a statue. Fab when neglected women writers of the past are given the recognition they deserve. #womenwriters
