Tregolls Lodge Book Club: Exclusive Q&A with Author Lilac Mills   Howard Embery set up the Tregolls Lodge Book Club in Truro back in 2017. Unlike conventional book clubs where members read the same book and discuss it, the members of Tregolls Lodge Book Club meet weekly to chat about whichever books they happen to be reading at the time, and these meetings are even attended by members in the US who join virtually.  The club also produces its own regular e-magazine featuring a

This year, I’m once again taking part in Children in Read 2025, a wonderful annual charity event that brings together authors, readers, and book lovers to raise money for BBC Children in Need.

Meeting up with fellow authors is always a joyous occasion, and to have an event where so many romance authors congregated in one place was a sheer delight. The Romantic Novelists Association's one day conference, also known as the "Summer Fling" took place in August in the gorgeous Grand Hotel in Birmingham. I travelled up the day before with several fellow Welsh authors, and a group of us had a brilliant meal and a good laugh at Bella Italia. You might recognise a few faces

Every summer the Welsh contingent of the Romantic Novelists Association - the Cariad Chapter - enjoys a lovely cream tea at The Ivy in Cardiff. It's a chance for everyone to get together and have a chat, and we also have a book swap and I got Goes Without Saying by the brilliant Luisa A. Jones! I can't wait to read this one. Oh, and the cream tea was gorgeous!  The Cariad Chapter's cream tea at The Ivy in Cardiff. View all Lilac Mills books. Want to be notified whenever I wri

On 28th June, I went to the Meet Cute festival in London - an outdoor summer book celebration for romance book writers and readers, featuring special guests, prizes, workshops, panels and lots more.

Here are the questions the lovely Jenny White asked me... The article in The Western Mail Where do you live and when/how did you come to live there? I’m a valleys girl born and bred, but lived across the border in England for several years. I returned to my homeland about sixteen years ago because I missed it so much and I now live near Caerphilly, not far from the top of a mountain where the views are fantastic. I can’t imagine living anywhere else – Wales is in my blood, wh

Earlier this month I attended a party in London which was hosted by my wonderful publisher, Canelo (plus Hera, who is now part of the Canelo group). Going to London is always a big deal for me, because it's not my natural habitat. Plus there's huge potential for me to get lost, or for things to go wrong! Thankfully, everything went without a hitch and I had a fantastic time. Not only did I get to meet all the brilliant pixies and elves who bring my stories to life (aka, the l

Aside from the romance, I like that most of them are character driven, and many of them deal with issues that any of us might face. And of course, the happy ever after

OK, I might be over-egging it here, but for someone who's not travelled more than twenty miles from home in the past two years or more, this was a big deal for me, because last weekend I went to the Romantic Novelists' Association Conference held at Harper Adams University - and had an absolute blast! Meeting up with old friends, discovering new ones, learning more about the craft of writing, publishing and romantic fiction, it was hard work but so very rewarding. And so much

I've had a delightful afternoon with some ladies from the Romantic Novelists Association. I don't get a chance to meet many authors face to face, because as well as the writing, I've got a day job which means I find it difficult to get time off work except during holidays. The tea was well worth attending, though, and not only for the delicious sandwiches and cakes. the company was pretty awesome, too! All Lilac Mills books
