All about what's on the desk here

December was another chaotic month on the homefront, and that unfortunately meant I got behind with my workload. I'm happy to report I caught up quite a bit recently and everything that should have been done before year end has now gone.

Meanwhile the countdown to RAMPANT being published has officially begun. Exciting! It was around Christmas time that it struck me I only had three months to publication day. Cue a flurry of activity! I've got some ads and guest blogs booked already, but more ...

Some thoughts about writing (i.e. why not learn from my mistakes?)

I'm blogging over at eXcessica today. The post is about a few things I've learned along the way, on this writing journey of mine (and wish I'd known earlier!) Click on the link to find out more.

Some thoughts about writing (i.e. why not learn from my mistakes?)

Crunch time here!

I'm up against it at the moment (can't even look at the to-do list, it scares me!) that's why it's been quiet here. I wanted to post about my plans for 2010 and my personal goals, because I always find the New Year an exciting, hopeful time. In another couple of days I should be caught up on the schedule and able to blog properly.

In the meantime, I'm author of the week over at Total-E-Bound. That means you'll find some of my books on sale and others with a special discount for this week only...

New Year's Eve!

Sending out good wishes for a wonderful New Year's Eve!
Have fun, take care, be happy. See you in 2010! Woohoo!

Let it snow?

It went like this: snow, snow, ice, freezing fog, mist, more snow and more ice… It was Christmas card pretty, yes, especially when it wasn't foggy because we had glorious blue skies, but the weather wiped out a lot of our holiday plans. We had a good one nonetheless. Hope you did too! We're making ready to welcome in the new decade now.. and the weather looks to be very wintery again. Brrr.

In writing news I'm delighted to announce I have another erotica anthology on the way from eXcessica l...

Happy Holidays everyone!

Hey folks, I was hoping to blog about the writing again before the holiday, but that will have to wait. The time evaporated, as it always does during the festive season.

We're about to head off to the east coast for the next few days, so I wanted to wish you a wonderful holiday before we go. Have fun, and keep warm! I hope Christmas 2009 brings lots of good things and happy memories your way.

Over the next few days we will be on the beautiful and blustery east coast of Yorkshire, enjoying thin...
