How can Jack Bauer help our Writing?
As a massive fan of ’24’ it occurred me that we can learn a lot about PLOTTING from watching an episode of this action-packed TV series.
This was the theme of my latest vlog over at the Writers and Artists Website.

Put Your Feet Up AND Improve Your Writing!
“Cesca – are you crazy? This simply isn’t possible!”
Well cynical reader that is where you are wrong.
This week’s vlog gives us a bit of space from our manuscript but work doesn’t have to stop…

NEW VLOG – Targets in a New Year
Happy New Year!
My vlog to celebrate a new year is over at the Writers and Artists website now, simply click on the video on their home page: http://www.writersandartists.co.uk
I am hugely looking forward to all that 2015 will bring, it looks set to be the most exciting in my writing life so far and I can’t wait to hear from people who will read my debut novel ‘The Silent Hours’. This time last year I couldn’t imagine this moment would ever come.
I love a new year, a fresh start, a time to take stock and make targets for next year. I am in the middle of working on my second novel for Corvus Books, based on an event in 1950’s Devon, and am thoroughly enjoying immersing myself in a new set of characters. The research is easier because it is not all in French (mini yay!) and I am playing with a supernatural twist too so really enjoying exploring that side of things.
My aim is to complete this book, throw myself into the publicity for ‘The Silent Hours’ and start on a third novel.
What are your aims or goals? What did you learn from 2014?

Thanks to Hannah for including THE SILENT HOURS. I can’t wait to see how it does next year.
