The book has made it - right on time the proof has hit the mat. There ae issues already but they are all easy fixes. I'm surprised it is as small as it is but happy that it is a good-looking book. Now it is with the editor - let's see what she makes of… Continue reading It’s here

Finished!
The book I have been writing? 'The Shallow Sea' Is finished! I'll keep you updated on a date for publication but so far it looks like the end of this month. Now I can get back to my other projects...
The Book
I have decided that it will be a trilogy... I sat down with my editor and we went over the story so far and decided that it was for the best. Rather than writing the 150k tomb it would be. And I'm changing the name. It will no longer be Nomura... but I'm not sure… Continue reading The Book
Surprising…

A Customer Review!
I'm bad at marketing... In fact, I'm probably the worst. I log onto author central at Amazon maybe a few times a year. I know... It's terrible. I ought to be pushing my books and writing more about them. Posting them on my blog and tweeting them. Only when other writers do it I find… Continue reading A Customer Review!
WIP
Well, 'Nomura' is coming along well. I am four chapters in and I've just broken the fifteen thousand word barrier. I'm guessing that the book is going to be longer than I thought. I'm still optimistic that it will be out for the end of November... My heroine is growing and in her own bumbling… Continue reading WIP
The Gone is almost there…
Yes, the proof has arrived and in the next few days the alterations should be done... Then it will be ready and in the shops. But first that editing...
