Wiling away a very windy day...

My youngest daughter is ill and I am at home looking after her. I've done nothing today apart from offer her sips of water, take her temperature and spoon her medicine. So while I am sitting around doing nothing, I've posted chapter seven of The Charm on wattpad for you to read and have started outlining the plot for Book Four (I haven't finished Book Three yet but I've decided I really want to write a children's book first!).

Happy New Year and Thank You :)

I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who has bought The Charm so far. It has been selling steadily since its publication in June last year and I get some lovely emails and messages and comments about it, which is always very heart-warming and appreciated.

I got stopped in a shopping centre in Peterborough recently, by a lady who'd read it on holiday, and she told me how much she'd enjoyed it. She lives in the next village to me and said she'd spent ages trying to match the character from the book to real life people who live around me! That made me smile because in actual fact, none of the characters are based on anyone in my village, but she obviously had a great deal of fun playing detective! I'm keeping mum about the character of Rose though... she 'might' be loosely based on someone I used to work with several years ago ;)

If you would like to read The Charm, you can find it here for all eReaders:

Thank you for dropping by :)

I'm back!

After what seems likes weeks of battling bugs and preparing for Christmas, I am finally getting back into writing mode. I have finished the final draft of The Fourteen Years Between Us and am starting to source agents to approach with a submission. In the meantime I have written a synopsis for my third book and also the first chapter! I'm very excited about this new project because it falls into a different literary genre yet again. The Charm was a paranormal romance novel, TFYBU is for young adults but my third book – as yet untitled – is a thriller. It's a no-holds-barred story containing taboo subject matter and sexual deviation and I can't wait to get my teeth into it! I'll post snippets of it on my blog every now and then to give you a flavour of what's to come... Watch this space! :)

Feedback!

I've just sent the first four chapters of The Fourteen Years Between Us to three teenagers to read and report back. It's pretty nerve-wracking, to be honest! I can't wait to hear their feedback but am nervous about what they might say as well! What if they hate it?! Time will tell...

I've been working on the book again this past week, adding detail mainly and taking needless back story out. I am very lucky to be receiving advice from somebody who works within the industry. Just having someone guiding me and rooting for me to succeed is brilliant and I am already indebted to her for the help and support she has given me this year.

Fingers crossed, with all the editing done, I am one step closer to fulfilling my dream. And if I'm not, then I'll just keep plodding away until I do get there :)
