It's release day for
More Beginnings
 "More Beginnings" is the second book in the Beginnings series, which is very close to my heart. One reason is, that I strongly believe in Beginnings, no doubt there have been many in my life, but over the last 18 months I've fallen in love with the Levesque girls and their friends - so much so that I'm currently writing book #3 and have just jotted down ideas for #4. Watch this space. This is what "More Beginnings" is about:

#SnippetSunday 26/01/2014 - My WIP "Auf Wiederseh'n"

 Welcome to Snippet Sunday !   Happy Australia Day !!   

Chapter One ... cont'd




Mum was born in Germany, but left in her twenties and came to Australia. Quite a journey those days, and she’d told me a lot about it. Kind of scary actually to just leave everything behind.

  Kelly Martin:
The Afterlife of Lizzie Monroe Release Blitz Monday
  BLURB:

If Shane Davis had it to do over again, he wouldn't have gone out that night. He wouldn't have burned down the church. And he sure wouldn't have taken the annoying dead girl home with him.

Now that Shane has her, he has no idea what to do with her. He can't release her into the "wild" because people will recognize her (being a hundred and fifty year old town 'legend' will do that). He can't send her away...
