This Man Confessed & Nook update...
It has been quite a week, and you've all made it extra super special. I've received thousands of messages, and I've read each and every one. Then I got a little drunk!
I'm on CENTRAL JESSE CLOUD NINE, LADIES! It's a wonderful place, and you helped get me there. I'm eternally grateful.
The priority now is to release This Man Confessed on E-book as soon as possible. I'm being told summer, and I should have a more definite date very soon, so pretty please be patient with me ♥ The series will also be released on the Nook, Kobo & iBooks. I'll keep you informed.
I know we have an OJD (Obsessive Jesse Disorder) issue at the moment, so I'll be releasing some excerpts from Confessed to try and ease the withdrawal - the first is coming at the end of March.
2013 looks set to be a crazy mad year for me and This Man...and I can't wait!
Lots and lots of London-ish love to you all.

3...2...1...Zero, baby!
3...2...1...Zero, baby!
Just over four months ago, I held my breath and clicked that self-publish button on Amazon. I took a chance on a story I loved, yet I was mindful that perhaps nobody else would. But they did, and I was catapulted into a world that I knew very little about.
Just over four weeks ago, I went on an amazing trip to New York City, where I met two women who loved my story as much as me. Andrea Barzvi and Kristyn Keene of ICM Partners offered to represent me, and I left New York with an agent and for the first time, feeling excited rather than daunted since this crazy ride began.
Just over four days ago, Grand Central Publishing offered me a Worldwide English publishing deal. How's that for crazy mad?
It has killed me to brush off all of your questions about This Man Confessed, the Nook and print versions of the This Man Trilogy, but now I can finally share my news with you. This journey just keeps getting crazier, and I would love it if you all stick around to continue it with me.
I’ll keep you up-to-date as things progress, and please please please, have a glass of wine with me.
As always, lots of London-ish love from this happy little British girl.

Jesse POV alert!
On Monday February 11th, it'll be Jesse Day over at TotallyBooked Blog. 'When Jesse met Ava' went down a storm, even if I've needed therapy to get over the trauma of venturing into The Lord's mind. But I can overcome my issues if it means I can cure this epidemic, now known as Jesse Withdrawal! It's a common side effect of finishing the books, so I'm told! I hope this will cure you - for a while, anyway.
'When Jesse cornered Ava' will go live on Feb 11th in the afternoon (GMT) on TotallyBooked Blog. I'll post the link as soon as I have it.
Until then, you can find further details here...

3 days post-Beneath
Where to start?
I have absolutely no idea!
I woke on Friday morning, just 24 hrs after publishing Beneath, and found endless messages telling me it was at #1 in the UK and US erotica chart. Yep, I hit the deck! I went back to bed, convinced I was in some sort of crazy-ish dream. Nothing could have prepared me for that.
After This Man was received so well, I was in major panic over Beneath. Will people like it as much? Can I match This Man? So far, the response has been incredible, and I need to thank the people who've read and appreciated my debut novel and the follow up. Thank you!
Now, I continue with the conclusion of Jesse and Ava's story, This Man Confessed. I'm dreading writing that final word. I don't think I'm ready to let go yet. My readers have had them for 3 short months, I've had them for a few years, and I've loved every moment of it.
It will be very bittersweet for me when I release the final part of the This Man Trilogy.
lots of London-ish love, as always

10 days'...
I'm sorry that I've been quiet.
With the 18th creeping closer, I've been focusing on making sure everything is in place.
It feels incredibly different this time. No one knew me or This Man back in October. There was no build-up or anticipation - no pressure or expectation, just little me at my laptop with my finger hovering over the 'Publish Now' tab. I'm so glad I did.
See you all soon. You may have read Beneath by then.
Goodnight

***HAPPY NEW YEAR***
I'm doing this now before the chaos of all thing New-Year-ish, and it's also my youngest sons birthday tomorrow so I'll be busy with the birthday boy. Yes, nine years ago, I went into labour with my youngest just after it struck mid-night. I'm awkward, I know. I was surrounded by drunk people, none of them in any fit state to drive me to the hospital. It was probably the most traumatic time of my life.
Anyway, HAPPY NEW YEAR. Me and This Man wish you all a wonderful 2013.
As always, all things ish from me to you.

I'm Alive...but probably not for long.
So, I made it through my shopping trip unscathed. I managed the Panto with only slight ear bleed from the persistent BANGS. I kid you not...there really was no need for all of them bangs, my point only reinforced by a million hysterical children and equally traumatised parents. And then I made it through ice skating with no broken bones (which is a miracle, considering the temperature has risen by 10 degrees, making an already slippery ice rink a bloody death trap). For two days, I've hunted for my husband's car keys, only to find them in the ignition of his car - a place where I asked him if he had left them yesterday morning. And tomorrow...on Christmas Eve...I'm facing the supermarket. WHAT THE HELL AM I THINKING?
Anyway, my point to all of this? My point is...after handing the Beneath manuscript to a Beta Reader on Friday, I was looking forward to calming down - a few weeks of chilling out, some quiet, relaxing family time.
So far, I've achieve none of the above. None at all, and worse of all, I'm only 2 days into my relaxing time and my journal, full of notes and chunks of writing for book#3, is grinning at me from the shelf, saying: 'Come on Little British girl, you know you want to start hammering me out on that new swanky laptop of yours. Go on...load up word, pull up the book#3 file and let rip!'
I don't know if I can resist. Truth is...I'm at my most relaxed when I'm writing.
I've purposely brought the kids numerous board games so I can play with them. But that plan will probably bite me on the arse when they open them up, look at them in disgust and say something along the lines of...'That's a funny shape for an Xbox game, Mum.'
