wp_20161104_001This afternoon during my lunch break I ran across London, to meet my new editor and collect my manuscript for Not Just For Christmas. It burned a hole in my bag as I went back into work, I was keen to get home and look over what small tweaks I need to make for my final, to send to my publisher.

Tonight, I’ve been working on it, armed with a bottle of wine, and a pizza. I can confidently say it will be done by Sunday. Which means a chapter preview  for Not Just For Christmas is coming your way this weekend 🙂

Have a great weekend, I’ll catch you on Sunday.

Just Entered Top #100 on Amazon.com #amreading #romance #halloween

Posted on by

Technically Halloween is over in the UK it’s almost 12.30 a.m and I’m about to go to bed. But I just have to say this is the best Halloween ever! And now I REALLY  want to say  Thank you.  A Stranger In France  just entered at #85 in the romance, suspense and mystery category for top downloads internationally on .com, and hit #30 here at home on the UK Amazon. I’m amazed both here at home and away I’ve entered the top 100- how has this happened? Every author’s dream.

Believe me when I say it does not matter to me it’s free and I’m giving away my book, it’s encouraging  and enough to know that I’m appealing to readers, and building on top of the sales/readership I’ve already banked since release day. Still 7 hours to go until the free download ends…

People THANK YOU and happy reading.

2017 Releases … #1 Down, 1# To Go. #amwriting

Success

* Comes up for air * I’ve done it guys, I have met my goal of completing the Cancer Research short story I’m writing  this week, for release in February 2017. The word limit is tiny at just 15,000 for each author. I found it a bit of a struggle to keep within it. But I’ve done it. It’s within the romance genre but more on the  steamy side this one. The writing prompt all authors have to go from is “Code Redhead”- the name of the book. All I need to do is read through once, and submit for a proof read, then off it goes to my publisher. 

Earlier this  week, I spoke about my baby- my romance thriller story, I’ve left to simmer for a whole year. I really want to get stuck into writing this story and hopefully make it my third book published, after Not Just For Christmas. However, I want  to find the right home for this book as I see it as a full length novel, not a short story and it’s not a typical romance or even romantic suspense, as there’s a murder and hint of  who-dun- it wrapped up with a romantic story. I sent out the first three chapters to two publishers, one came back to me  this week and requested to see the whole manuscript! I was like damn OK!  I better get cracking. I’m still waiting to hear from the other publisher. So now I’m done with my first bit of work for 2017,  this baby is 100% my writing focus ( as well as writing prompts on the blog), without a doubt now I know there is interest in it.  I’ll start with research then get cracking writing. I’ve planned a chapter preview in November  for you all so stay tuned. I warn you be prepared for a gripping first chapter!

 

 

Writers Life… #amwriting #writerslife

I ‘ve not blogged this late for a while, but I have my radio tuned into Magic Soul and Motown hits, I’m feeling bright -eyed even though it’s late. And the best bit it’s half -term break, I have a week off. I also have a massive to-do list writing wise. As many of you know I have a few writing projects I’m juggling, here’s a little update on how they are coming along.

Today, I printed off my manuscript for Not Just for Christmas and sent it over to my band new additional UK based editor and proof reader. I’m really excited about this up and coming new release. It’s a festive themed story, and Christmas is my favourite time of year. The story has a different feel to A Stranger in France which is full of suspense and unpredictable twists! Not Just for Christmas is a sensual feel good romance. I plan to do a chapter preview a little later this month, but for now you can see my book cover.

The Code Redhead Serial Novel story I’m writing for charity is also coming along nicely. My goal is to complete this short story this week, and submit to my publisher. You can find out more details about Code Redhead  the charity book I will be featured in by clicking here. Its release date is February 2017.

Last week, my publisher put out a call for valentines day romance stories to publish, it was quiet at work last week, on the back of a bit of tracing paper I whipped up a short story-line! More excitement (and juggling), if I do go ahead and answer this call and write the short story idea I have.

Then, there’s my baby my romance -thriller story I started to write one full year ago. I left it to simmer and completed  A Stranger in France. This is a full length novel in my mind with suspense twists and turns  and I HAVE  to finish writing it. The idea has been knocking around between my ears for way too long. So I aim to make this my focus before the end of 2016 and see where it goes into 2017 in terms of publishing.

Over the weekend I also did another author interview which I hope to re-blog for you in a few weeks when it’s published. And in November I have another virtual tour kicking off for A Stranger in France.   On Halloween… I have a surprise for you also, stay tuned!

So guys, that’s the 411  at the moment, #writerslife is busy , busy , busy but loving every moment of the madness. 

I hope all’s well your end!
