Romance stories live and breathe on emotion. Love, jealousy, heartbreak, forgiveness, longing. The kinds of feelings that push people to make choices they might never make in calmer moments. As writers, we’re asked to step inside those moments and understand them well enough to bring them to life on the page. This little series of… Continue reading The Broken Heart vs The One Who Broke It

The Quiet Magic Behind the Stage
Music has always been threaded through my life in ways many people around me probably don’t realise. It isn’t just background noise or entertainment to me; it’s part of how I understand emotion and storytelling. Even now, when I’m writing my books, music plays a role both inside the story and inside my creative process.… Continue reading The Quiet Magic Behind the Stage
The Child Who Grew Up Too Soon
This is for the girl or the woman sitting in a dark place, wondering whether this is simply how her life is going to be. I need you to know that it isn’t. There is light at the end of your tunnel, but you do not reach it by waiting for someone to arrive and… Continue reading The Child Who Grew Up Too Soon
The Soundtrack of Survival
I have always processed life through music. Music runs in my veins. Not in a passive way. Not just background noise while I cook or drive. Music has always been structural for me, a way to understand what I am feeling when words do not fit. Before I wrote novels, I wrote lyrics. Long before… Continue reading The Soundtrack of Survival
A Quiet Hogmanay Gift for New Year’s Day 🍵🖤
Hogmanay has a funny way of holding two moods at once. There’s the noise and laughter, the clink of glasses, the singing at the bells and the rush of staying up just that bit too late. And then there’s the day after. New Year’s Day itself. Slower. Softer. A little foggy around the edges. Sometimes,… Continue reading A Quiet Hogmanay Gift for New Year’s Day 🍵🖤
Merry Christmas & Thank You 💚
As the year comes gently to a close, I wanted to pop in and wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and to say a huge thank you for being here. Whether you’ve supported my work through an order, a message, a comment, a share, or simply by quietly following along, it has all meant… Continue reading Merry Christmas & Thank You 💚
A Birthday Well Spent (and a New Little Elf)
Today is my birthday, and I couldn’t think of a better way to spend it than exactly how it unfolded — quietly, gently, and with yarn in hand. There was a cuppa close by, knitting needles clicking away, and a very small elf slowly coming to life on my lap. No rushing, no to-do lists… Continue reading A Birthday Well Spent (and a New Little Elf)
A Small Handmade Doll Giveaway (A Wee Thank-You)
Every so often, I like to do something small and simple just to say thank you. I’ve popped up a handmade doll giveaway — not as a promotion, not as a launch, just as a wee gesture of gratitude for everyone who watches my videos, follows along with my makes, and quietly cheers me on… Continue reading A Small Handmade Doll Giveaway (A Wee Thank-You)
A Wee Scottish Crafting Week: Travel Games & a Finished Sewing Box Treasure
Etsy Shop:https://LTMarshallDesigns.etsy.com This week in the studio has been one of those gloriously creative ones — the kind where there’s tartan everywhere, the laser cutter hasn’t had a day off, and I’ve somehow managed to sand, stain, stitch, and photograph a full table’s worth of Scottish makes. My favourite kind of chaos. I started the… Continue reading A Wee Scottish Crafting Week: Travel Games & a Finished Sewing Box Treasure
⭐ My First Proper Sandwich Loaf (And I’m Ridiculously Proud of It)
If you’d told me a month ago I’d be casually making my own bread, I would’ve laughed, made a sarcastic comment, and gone back to my craft chaos. Yet here I am — elbow-deep in flour, somehow raising a sourdough starter like it’s a third child, and baking actual loaves like I’ve secretly been preparing… Continue reading ⭐ My First Proper Sandwich Loaf (And I’m Ridiculously Proud of It)
