Media Page, Baby Boom, Print Book, Ghosts and Game Of Thrones

Finally, I get to write a longer blog post from what I've done in recent weeks. I know, I know, you've all been waiting for me to come back butthere you have it. Here I am. Bigger, Longer, Blog Post! :) But before we go any further, I wish to offer my condolences to the families of those lost in the Nice attacks. It's terrible news to hear of all those innocents, including children, to die in such a gruesome way. Also, may those injured have a speedy recovery! #PrayForNice Where should I

FREE Book, Discounts, Brexit and Euro all at once

Wow! What a week!

To celebrate this milestone, DISCOUNT WEEK shall take place fro...

Emergency Hospital Visits, Re-Edits and Instagram Flops

Well, well, well! Has it not been a minute since I leaped into this blogging atmosphere? So much has gone on since the last time; from emergency hospital visits, to upcoming guest blogging, to re-editing plans, add in a smattering of interviews, splash a dollop of working on the print book cover design, Instagram flops, and a duo jab of immunisation injections. So as you can see, I've been pretty busy in my avid absence! Let's start with the scary stuff! Hospitals! So this is me, at work,

Book Launch and Other Goodies!

This has been quite the hectic week, not just for myself, but the entire world it seems! From new managers, to Cup Finals, to book launches, to interviews, to church dedications, to reviews...the list can continue in my sphere, my own little part of the world, but I shall try and make sense of it all. Let's start with the pieces of congratulations! To my daughter, Leia, for getting her dedication at Church yesterday afternoon! The dedication service was held at Church after the main morning

A Taste of the Future

I know I keep on saying that I need to improve on regularly blogging, but really, THIS time, I really REALLY mean it! Once a week is what I'dgiven myself initially at a minimum and I'm going to keep at it now...so help me blogging gods if it's not the last thing I do! Anyways, today I've thought about the next installment in The Royal Blood Chronicles which has me quite excited. I've got the first few chapters in my head and I aim to plan out the Acts this weekend. That's really a step in the...

Busy as a bee! (And new Marketing Campaign: Strike Force!)

Busy. That has definitely been the way my last week has been. Its amazing how four letters, one word, can mean so much. From returning to work (and trying to get back into the groove of things) to caring for a baby girl who deems it a requirement to be up every night from like 2am up until to just when Im meant to be waking up to head to the office, to working on the book; my life has been a rollercoaster ride which I wouldnt swap it for anything! So yesterday I left Lucy and Leia at home
