What have I been up to??

Okay, so for the past few weeks I have been introducing you to some of my favourite authors, and will continue to do so in the coming weeks, but some of you (I hope) will have been wanting to hear more about what I have been getting up to recently.

I thought this would be a good time to update you with my news, just before the release of my new novel.

I have been working hard putting the finishing touches to my latest novel, 'The Dream'. It's not yet published, but will be soon. Look out for an announcement in the next few weeks. 'The Dream' is a romantic comedy, edged with a touch of the paranormal and featuring a time slip. It's my first paranormal novel, but I had so much fun writing it that I may well write some others in the future.

Here's a sneak preview of the cover, which I designed myself:




The final edits will take me a few more weeks, then I'll be announcing its publication with a couple of interviews.

In other news, I'm currently participating in author Stacy Juba's ebook spring sale: Stacyjuba.com

Take a look at Stacy's blog, she has four books on sale at just $0.99 until 8th May 2011. Take a look at the comments from other authors and you'll find lots of bargain ebooks!! I hope you'll find lots of books to read there.

My own short story collections Pieces of a Rainbow and Love and Loyalty, are also currently at $0.99 on kindle at Amazon. I'll keep them at that price throughout Stacy's sale, until 8th May, then the price will go up to $2.99.

Also, don't forget that Cutting The Fat, the murder/mystery novella I wrote with Jason McIntyre is available at $0.99 on kindle.

A reminder that you don't need to own a kindle to read kindle ebooks, as there are free apps you can download from Amazon, so you can read them on your computer or phone.

A recent interview I did with Jason McIntyre about 'Cutting The Fat', can be found on author R A Evans's blog: 7 Deadly Questions

That's about it for now. If you want to keep up with all the latest, visit my website for all the links to my networking sites.

My author interviews will resume on this blog on Friday, with the lovely Lisette Brodey, author of 'Crooked Moon'.

How do you do it all? You must have three or four cloned replicas of yourself, or you have somehow managed to create a thirty hour day! Best of luck with the new book!

Maria Ah, a thirty hour day, wouldn't that be wonderful! I don't really know how I do it either except that I'm running around like a headless chicken most of the time :) In reality, I did have quite a lot of time on my hands when I was out of work, but now I'm working part time, it is definitely hard to juggle everything. Hope you're keeping well.

I've cut back to a 15 hour day, but working twice as fast! Preparing for lectures this weekend. Exciting. Keep up the good work -- don't burst into flames from all of that fantastic energy.
