Becoming a reality

In front of me on the table is a box of books. Six North American copies of my book (which from what I can see refers to me as a mom not mum). Mine. Which I wrote. As I write these words I can’t stop grinning. The kids dragged me out of the shower toContinue reading “Becoming a reality”

My books

My books. Now I’ve got visual confirmation I’ve created a page where more information about my books can be found. Yes, I know there’s only one at the moment but I’m working on the second.

Revenge of the Day Job

It’s that time of year again where every waking moment becomes one long round of writing, revisions, grasping for the perfect turn of phrase or most appropriate euphemism, more writing and finally handing in the finished project to be read and hopefully passed off (without any typos or spelling mistakes). The deadline looms and as always I’mContinue reading “Revenge of the Day Job”

Limbo!

I haven’t updated for a while because I’m in a strange period where I’ve done everything I can do and the book is now out of my hands. It’s unsettling because I’m a control freak, nosy and impatient. The October release date feels a long time away. I received a formatted document of Falling for Her Captor aContinue reading “Limbo!”

Not a madrigal in sight

One of the things I found early on when I started writing was that I needed it to be quiet otherwise I couldn’t concentrate. That’s why practically all of my writing is done when the kids are in bed. I also do a lot of the pre-getting-everything-down-onto-the-laptop thinking while I drive (while still concentrating onContinue reading “Not a madrigal in sight”

In Just Seven Days…

I’ve never had the opportunity to create a man before. I birthed a son once, but I had a pretty good idea how he was going to turn out, and anyhow, I didn’t have much say in the result. Today however I received my AFS, which stands for Art Fact Sheet. Before today I didn’tContinue reading “In Just Seven Days…”
