There's no way to sugar coat this people, I won't be publishing any more books this year. Yes. Yes. I can hear your teeth gnashing and wails of despair. Trust me, I share your frustration.
But bear with me and all will become clear.
I may have mentioned some mid year travel plans. Well all was going swimmingly. Atlanta. Mexico. Lots of family time. Next stop the UK to spend some quality time with my sister.
She picked me up from the airport and we spent two marvellous days in Wales. Unfortunately on the drive back to her place we were involved in a rather nasty accident. T-boned by an out of control elderly driver.
My side of the car took the brunt of the impact and after being cut free and helicoptered to the nearest hospital I subsequently spent the next 2 weeks in ICU having way too many operations. Followed by a further 10 weeks recovering in hospital.
My first set of steps took place a mere 3 weeks ago...and boy were they shaky.
Today I am out of hospital, working on my mobility with the help of a Zimmer frame. With the view to eventually walking on my own once more.
I won't lie, there will be health challenges ahead for me along with further operations.
I can only cross my fingers and hope that eventually I will be pain-free and be able to resume my old life.
In the meantime I will remain in the UK, spending recovery time and Xmas with my family before travelling home to Australia.
As for my writing. I think you will understand when I say I am done for this year. But fear not. I've had a lot of spare time to think over the past few months and next year promises to be a lot of fun. Stephanie (Brodie's Valkeryie boss) has been featuring in my thoughts.
I'll keep you posted on any new developments.
Happy Reading gorgeous people. Be kind to yourself, you deserve it.
