Who, what… when?

Hello gorgeous people. It feels like ages since I`ve touched base. Mainly because I have been on the most glorious of holidays.
You know my back story, right? Major car accident 4 years ago, followed by Covid and mixed in with that, breast cancer. So to say I needed a holiday would be an understatement.
My travels have led me to the UK, France and Atlanta (Georgia) - where I have been soaking up the summer sun whilst catching up with family.
I did set myself one task these holidays, to re-read my Southern Sanctuary series.

Why? Because I realised upon finishing the first draft of book 14; To Goad A Goddess, that I was feeling a little disconnected from the world I had created. And prior to commencing the edit process for it I wanted to ensure that I was on the right path.

Essentially give myself a refresher course on all things Southern Sanctuary. And it has proven not only an immensely useful experience but has reignited my passion for the series. As, I said, the last 4 years have been rather tough.
But as I read I am happy to report that I fell in love with the Sanctuary and all the characters I had created once more.
All the little wacky foibles about the world that I don’t write down but hang out in my head came roaring back. And yes, it does get crowded in there.
I even had a glimmer of who will be starring in book 15 and one of the secondary storylines that will be featured.
No doubt you would like a hint. Hmmm, okay. Babies. Not enough? Well you know how competitive Gaia can be. Let`s just say she will be going all out to try an out-mother Hadleigh. And don’t forget Nell is due to give birth any day. How will Drum cope in the delivery room? Not well I suspect.

So I am 50% of the way through re-reading book 13, To Kiss A Kringle. And I have 9 days left of my holiday. A few more days floating on Lake Lanier and another trip or two to Marshalls before I will be heading home to Australia, where hopefully Spring will have nudged winter on its way.

My schedule for the rest of the year - start editing Book 14. Publish the darn thing. Yes, yes, I will give you a heads up on the date when I have the foggiest. I need to recreate my Facebook page. You lose access to the darndest things when you update your browser.
Then I shall start writing book 2 of the Vexatious Valkyries series. New working title at the moment is - A Demon Is Forever.
