Catching up

It’s been a long time since I touched my website. I was taken aback at how long. I think it was before Covid, looking at the last book I’d added a page for. That was a weird time but let’s not go there.

So, what have I been up to? My editor currently has two manuscripts. One that is in pretty good shape and should be out in Spring 2025. That’s another fantasy (do we like the term ‘romantasy’? I’ve heard very mixed opinions on it. It has a title and we’re working through cover designs. The suggestions I’ve seen have been gorgeous and I can’t wait to see the final decision and share it.
The second went back a few weeks ago with edits and I’m waiting to hear what she thinks of it. That’s a Victorian set story about two women who decide to go into business together. Doing what? You’ll have to wait and see.

I’m currently working on a new book set during WW2, which is a period I haven’t touched for a while so I’m having to do a lot of re-reading of old notes as well as new aspects that weren’t relevant to that.

In other news, I have a new hip and am still signed off work. I’m 8 weeks post op today and it feels both slow and like I’ve been off for ages at the same time. Apparently lots of people go back to work around the 8 week mark but my query was met with a firm ‘not for teachers’ so I’ve got a few more weeks to go. I should probably be able to write a whole book but I’m surprised at how fuzzy my brain feels and how tired I get even walking to the park. The cats are very happy to have someone permanently sitting around though the dogs are annoyed I can’t get on the floor to give them belly rubs.
