Publishing… Yes, one of my books will be available soon!

May 12, 2015 Kate4 Comments

So I have had one of my books with a traditional publisher. It has been with them for ages... And I've finally had enough time waiting. Hopefully in the next two weeks 'Truth and Lies' will be up for sale as an ebook and paperback. Then I'm hoping to publish a kids book and then… Continue reading Publishing… Yes, one of my books will be available soon!

Ahhh… Where do I go from here?

May 10, 2015 Kate8 Comments

I'm writing 'The Gone' but my main character has just decided to do something I hadn't planned for. She got on a helicopter and took a shortcut to the WHO center in Cardiff. Normally this wouldn't be a problem but I haven't even decided who the characters are in the WHO. Are they human? Are… Continue reading Ahhh… Where do I go from here?

And relax…

May 1, 2015 KateLeave a comment

The cold and nastiness that I've been getting over left me with a strained neck. Of all the things. I think it was all the coughing. It's really annoying, by the end of the day I can barely move. So today I was in the hairdresser and I could feel it locking up. By the… Continue reading And relax…

Change is here

April 29, 2015 Kate4 Comments

I hate change but I know that it has to happen and that it is normally for the good. Lately the change has been to do with my personal life rather than business. Saying that though the book is coming along and the picture book is almost there. That means that as soon as they… Continue reading Change is here

Illness and deadlines

April 23, 2015April 23, 2015 Kate2 Comments

They really don't mix. It doesn't matter what deadlines you have, once that temperature hits, there is no way you are going to meet it... I have been laid low by a case of tonsillitis that is threatening to become something worse. The problem with that, is the simple fact, I managed to work Monday… Continue reading Illness and deadlines

Dyslexic tales

Fighting an endless war…

April 12, 2015 Kate2 Comments

That's what it feels like today. My dyslexia is hanging around my neck like a massive stone and I feel weighed down by it. Everything is a struggle. My typing is slow and half the words are backwards or wrong. Why? I don't know. Sometimes the endless fighting gets on top of me. But it… Continue reading Fighting an endless war…

Zombie days are back!

April 10, 2015 KateLeave a comment

Noooooo! I'm not writing a zombie book - although it has crossed my mind. Instead I've noticed that I'm feeling depressed and tired. Just not like myself. Even my Mum has mentioned I look miserable, which is unusual. Then my tongue swelled and I checked my nails... Yep, huge pits in a couple. Dammit! I'm… Continue reading Zombie days are back!

Masters tales

Optimistic…

April 6, 2015 Kate2 Comments

Well, the sun is shining and I'm halfway through the novel, and the picture book. I have two interviews to do and everything is looking up. I'm smiling. The cherry on top has to be my homemade fudge. It is a little chewy, but so nice. After six months of no sweets is is really… Continue reading Optimistic…

Easter and chocolate….

April 2, 2015 KateLeave a comment

I was shopping today, it being Thursday, and I found myself reaching for the Easter Eggs. Now, I ought to mention my nut allergy, I have a tree nut problem that leaves me not being able to eat any nuts or palm oil. I ought to also mention that when I say I go shopping,… Continue reading Easter and chocolate….
