I don't feel quite myself lately.
It's nothing too strange actually. The fact is and I have known this for some time now - I really don't like this time of year. Each year from the end of October, until Yule I'm...
Well, I can't say I'm depressed. But I'm moody and bitchy and all that is due to the fact, that I go to work in the dark and basically I come home in the dark. Only seeing the light of day and if lucky, the sun, through the windows of my office...
I have just put aside my current WIP. Around 33K words. It just didn't feel right. No wonder actually. The moody me changed the plot the actual me doesn't like it.
Knowing that there is still 5 weeks to go till Yule when the sun is finally coming back (a figure of speech) and the days are going to get longer and my mood better, I have barely touched the keyboard on my computer. I thought it was a waste of time.
But then, two things happened.
First I found this 4 stars rating for CaughtBetween Two Worlds on Goodreads.
And afterwards, I found this lovely review – Blue Bookworm 
– on Readers Review Room for my first novel All That the Heart Desires.
You can imagine; my mood improved significantly.

First Draft
I have heard and have read the above written statement so many times from so many authors... yet, I still have trouble accepting it. I'm not saying that my first drafts are perfect when they are written. They are far from that.
When I start to write new book, I don't just write the first draft. No. Not a chance. I can say - I write two or three drafts almost at the same time. You're probably wondering how that's even possible, but for me it is. Many of you might disagree with my explanation, but that's fine.
I said many times, I'm not a plotter... I'm a panster to the core the moment I sit down and start to write and because of that, I get into trouble so many times.
I write a chapter, two or maybe three... and simply somewhere in the middle of the story, my character/s decide to turn the story around. Fine. No problem, but... sometimes the turn doesn't fit in the story that's already down on the paper. And I have to go back and change the story to fit in with the new development at that moment. I can't just leave it the way it is and change it later when I finish it. I can't.
I must say I admire all the writers that joins in the NaNoWriMo every November. To write the first draft in a month. For me - this is simply impossible. Not because of my day job, but because, sometimes I'm stuck with the turns my characters make. And there is one more thing - as soon as I know the ending of the story, I have a hard time writing it down. To finish it. To let the characters go. So, I change their fate few times, before I write the final words 'The End'.
And this is why I say I write two or three drafts of the same story almost at the same time. It's time consuming, believe me. It is. But this is my process of writing. Simply me. I tried to change, but it's literally impossible.
So when my editor gets my novel into her hands, she gets fourth or the fifth version of it - and try not to laugh, she still finds holes in the story that need to be fixed. That need my attention.
First draft.
Ummm... No! There are two or three...
Have you seen the weather on the first photo? That's me. That's the storm gathering in me, every time my characters start to whisper in my ears.
Perhaps that's my way of being calm...

Book Cover Reveal Tour ~ DEADLY INTENT by SHERYL BROWNE
DEADLY INTENT by SHERYL BROWNE
COVER REVEAL TOUR
Series:A DI Matthew Adams Thriller – Book #3 (can be read as a standalone)
Genre:Psychological Thriller
Release Date: September 6 2017
Publisher: Death by Choc Lit
18+ (some violence and language)
What if you and your family were at the mercy of a psychopath/a man with no conscience? Just when DI Matthew Adams thinks he’s left the past behind him, it comes back to haunt him once again; this time in the form of the Conner family. Like Matthew, the Conners have lost a child in tragic circumstances – and they’ve also found themselves in the hands of one of the most depraved criminals to walk the streets: ‘Dead-eyed’ Charlie Roberts, a drug addicted low-life with a penchant for extreme violence. Matthew’s greatest affinity lies with Daniel Conner, the brooding father who still blames himself for his youngest child’s death. But when Daniel’s wife and daughter are tortured and tormented by Roberts, can Matthew prevent him from completely ruining his own life for an act of revenge particularly when, once upon a time, that’s exactly what Matthew would have done too?
EXTRACT
Daniel’s eyes flickered away from Charlie for a second. ‘Come on, baby, come out,’ he said to the daughter, who was standing hesitantly on the top step. ‘It’s safe now.’
‘Yeah, come on, baby,’ Charlie mimicked. ‘Come and join the party.’
Charlie stepped sideways, allowing the girl to exit, her eyes like a terrified Bambi’s and shaking as much as Danny boy, poor cow. Must be hereditary.
‘Give me a shout if you fancy another quick shag, sweetheart,’ Charlie called as she stepped onto the towpath.
A tic went at the side of Daniel’s mouth. He walked calmly over to Charlie and smiled, which had Charlie momentarily flummoxed, then pulled back the gun and rammed it hard into his stomach.
****
Matthew flinched as Charlie doubled up. ‘Ouch,’ he said under his breath. ‘Okay, Daniel,’ he said carefully. ‘I know how you must be feeling but you need to let him go now. He’ll get what’s—’
‘You have no fucking idea how I feel,’ Daniel shouted, glancing quickly at Jo. ‘The only way that bastard goes anywhere is feet first.’ He raked a hand angrily though his hair. ‘Got that, Charlie? Now, get down on your knees.’
Charlie looked up, astonished. ‘You must be joking. I ain’t—’
‘Do I look as if I’m joking?’ Daniel asked, his eyes burning with hatred.
‘For fuck’s sake,’ Charlie uttered, turning to Matthew, his hands nursing his stomach.
‘On your knees, Charlie,’ Daniel repeated. ‘Now!’
Matthew dearly wished he could turn a blind eye as Roberts blinked at him beseechingly, and scared witless, satisfyingly. Unfortunately, as much as he would relish seeing the abusive piece of scum get a taste of his own, he couldn’t.
‘You need to drop the gun, Daniel,’ he said, moving cautiously towards the boat. ‘Leave him to me and get your wife and child—’
‘Don’t,’ Daniel warned, his eyes and the gun still fixed on Roberts. ‘Back off.’
Matthew hesitated, uncertain. God knows, the man had every reason to … But was Conner actually going to shoot Roberts?
‘I can’t do that, Daniel.’ Matthew stepped closer. ‘You know I can’t.’
‘Stay!’ Daniel shouted, swinging the gun around, then fast back to Charlie. ‘And you,’ he grated, ‘down on your knees, while you still can.’ He aimed the gun lower, which had Charlie dropping to his knees, fast.
‘Get them out of here,’ Matthew shouted, indicating Jo and Kayla over his shoulder. Roberts had pushed Conner right over the edge. He bloody well was going to shoot him. Christ, hadn’t this family already been through enough?
‘Daniel …’ Warning himself to tread carefully, empathising with the man more than he could possibly know, Matthew tried again. ‘You can’t take the law into your own hands.’ He stopped and waited, wondering whether Daniel, who was now swaying on his feet, could even hear him. ‘You have to do this the legal way. Please, give me the gun, Daniel.’
‘Can’t.’ Daniel closed one eye.
Matthew took a breath and stepped closer. ‘Why can’t you, Daniel?’ he asked quietly.
‘Three, two, one,’ Daniel replied, nonsensically.
‘Right.’ Matthew was scared for him now. If he used that gun with police marksmen aiming right at him … ‘Which means what, exactly, Daniel?’
Daniel shrugged. ‘Bang.’ He concentrated his aim.
‘Fuck,’ said Charlie, turning a pale shade of white. ‘Don’t, Danny,’ he pleaded.
Daniel cocked the gun.
‘Look, I didn’t touch your daughter—’
‘Shut the fuck up!’ Daniel yelled.
‘I didn’t. I swear I didn’t.’ Perspiration broke out on Charlie’s forehead. ‘Danny, please. I’m sorry. Okay? I—’
‘The name’s Daniel, not Danny. Not fucking Danny boy. Daniel! Got it?’
‘Yeah,’ Charlie nodded quickly. ‘Daniel. Whatever. Just put the gun down.’
Daniel continued to stare at him.
‘Shit. This is nuts.’ Charlie looked desperately to Matthew. ‘Do something! Don’t let them go!’ He nodded past him, to where the man’s wife and daughter weren’t being persuaded to leave. ‘He won’t do anything in front of them.’
That’s probably the first, and might well be the last, time you’ve said anything sensible in your entire life, you piece of shit. Matthew looked him over derisively. Conner cared about his family. They’d endured too much to go through any more. He must know it.
Matthew drew in a breath and then took a gamble. ‘Okay, Daniel. Fine. Do it,’ he said.
Charlie gawked.
‘Go ahead. Blow his brains all over the boat if it will make you feel better.’ Matthew paused for an instant. ‘And leave your wife wondering why you did it in front of your daughter. Whether to visit you in prison, when you didn’t care enough about her, or Kayla, not to.’
Daniel tightened his grip on the gun.
His hands were shaking, Matthew noticed. Shaking badly.
‘I have kids of my own, Daniel,’ he said softly, taking another careful step towards him. Daniel’s shoulders stiffened.
‘I know you lost your little girl, Daniel.’ Seeing Daniel reel on his feet, Matthew pushed on and prayed. He needed to get through to him. Had to.
‘You think I can’t know how you feel, but … I lost my little girl too, Daniel,’ he confided, though it almost choked him to say it. ‘I do know at least some of how you feel.’
Still Daniel didn’t move, but Matthew saw a swallow slide down his throat.
‘That bastard has piled pain on top of pain, hasn’t he?’ Matthew kept going, touching raw nerves, he was well aware of that, but what other choice did he have? ‘Persecuted Kayla and Joanne? Taunted them. Touched them, Daniel?’
Daniel’s jaw tightened.
‘Dared you to do anything about it, so he could revel in his pathetic power and beat you senseless? I know him,’ Matthew said forcefully. ‘He’ll get what’s coming to him. But you have to stop this. Now, Daniel. For the sake of your wife and daughter. Show them you care enough not to put them through this.’
‘Jesus!’ Daniel leaned to wipe his perspiring face against his shoulder. ‘Of course I care!’ he raged frustrated, and obviously confused. ‘But he’ll get out, won’t he?’
A sharp cough rattled his chest.
‘Jo and my kids are my life. Jo and Kayla … Were my … I …’ Trailing off, Daniel closed his eyes. And lowered the gun.
‘Hah.’ Charlie levered himself to his feet. ‘No bottle. Knew it. I’ll catch up with you when I’m out, Danny boy.’ He smirked, as Matthew climbed on board. ‘Keep that pretty wife of yours warm for me, won’t you?’
Daniel brought the gun back up sharp. ‘Say your fucking prayers, freak,’ he hissed.

Holidays 2017
We... love to travel. And we love to spend our days off - summer holidays - on the Coast, so each year we decide what to do. To travel or to go to the sea side?
But this year it was different. Most of my two weeks holidays we stayed - at home. You see, we didn''t really make any plans on what to do, mostly because somewhere back at our minds (mine and OH's) we knew there are some things to be done at home.
With both of us working full time and me having one hour drive each way, five days per week, we mostly run out of time to do anything at home or around the house. And there are a lot of things to be done, believe me.
And I so much 'love' when my OH's DIY projects include me. Luckily my OH has a nerve to do a lot of things on his own. He... has an idea and he sees how things will look when the project he plans will be be finished. But sometimes he has trouble executing the idea and that is where I have to jump in.
Crazy right? But that's how it is. And I'm not bragging.
So these last two weeks - of our summer holidays - were spent repairing the balcony leading from our daughter's room and the second project was extending the terrace outside our living room.
Don't be alarmed, we still have a lot to do as two weeks time was just not enough to do it all, and of course, we took some time off too...
To go to the Coast. We just love it there...
In the morning...
and in the evening...
Ah, well... we'll certainly be returning soon...

July's Ads
I know I'm not particularly good at promoting myself or my work. I have known that for a long time. I always know how to promote others but not myself.Well, lets be honest. I just don't know how to 'honk my own horn'. It's not natural to me and although I'm trying to change, it's hard.
Nevertheless, here are two ads I created for the month of July. I hope you'll find it interesting enough to click at least on one of the links supporting the ads.
