It's a Giveaway Alert!




Hi folks,

Part of this weeks post is a thinly disguised attempt to garner some much needed feedback. To do this, we have decided to offer a free download of  Anita's books in return for a review on Amazon. You can choose just one book or all of them, but we really do need a review for each one if you would be so kind.
Basically, it's your opinions we are after, good, bad or indifferent, for without them, how can we improve and develop as writers?
 So if you would like to participate, please e-mail us with your details.



the Jay


This is Jay speaking, and no, I don't look like the Jay in the picture. I have decided that it is time to get down and personal, in fact it is probably overdue. I have been writing this blog for a while now and most of that time I have been hiding behind the picture of a pine bonsai tree.

But I have recently been informed, quite bluntly I thought, that I am the only person who doesn't like what I see in my mirror. Apparently, all my friends and family think I look just fine.
So I have decided to be brave, grit my teeth and show the world my face. Apologies in advance for any meltdowns or malfunctions that may occur!

Another reason for my reluctant honesty, is the fact that quite a lot of people think I am a fella! Apart from those who think I am a bonsai tree, that is. So I have come to the conclusion that I cannot hope to establish any kind of a relationship with anyone if I don't show my face. Plus, Anita has insisted. I forced a much detested photograph of her on the world for a while, and she says she will not forgive me if I don't do this. So here goes. This is definitely me and it's no oil painting. Sorry!


where on earth did that thought go?

Come to think of it, I don't look as if I'm nearly seventy, so that's something I suppose... See you all on Friday, and we have a guest! The brilliant author Paula Weston will be joining us with an inspirational post for all fledgling writers everywhere...
