Blogging for Beginners

This is a first for me. I'm not a blogging type of person. So bear with me if I seem a bit lost at first.

Okay, hi everyone, and thank you so very much for reading and reviewing my books. Reviews are like Ferrero Rochers for authors. :)

The last few months have certainly been busy. I had 'Walkabout' - sequel to 'The Billabong' and second in the Bushrangers series, come out on 27th of August. The third book 'Dingo Run' has just turned up in Galley Proof form on my email tonight, so that's in the home stretch. Also I'm about 30,000 words into the novel which follows on from 'Dingo Run.' You'll be seeing a lot of Jim Kelly and Mark Turner from now on. :)

I've just done another novella, a contemporary piece set in a small town. It's about a kind young man who meets an openly gay leather clad biker who demands more of him than he's willing to give. Will his new friend push the limits too far?

I've had two short stories recently accepted, 'The Bear Next Door' and 'Perfect Bound' in the 'A Taste of Honey' and 'Hot off the Press' anthologies from Dreamspinner Press respectively. It was a fabulous experience to team up with the other authors and help promote the Bear anthology by visiting blogs and providing guest posts.

Angela Bee Bee Reviews are like Ferrero Rochers for authors. :)
lol. They come in pretty wrapper, but taste like crap? I can't stand those things.

Now, Ghirardelli, 'nother story.

Jack Byrne LOL Angela Bee Bee, it did not dawn on me that someone would NOT like Ferrero Rochers! My bad. And I've never heard of 'Ghirardelli'?

I find writing is a peculiar occupation, because even though you are creating characters and can in fact create whole social groups on the page, it is a solitary pursuit. I have a naturally sociable nature, having grown up in a big family. So when I have done something I am used to receiving instant feedback on it. Sometimes the feedback is harsh, at other times deeply rewarding when I realize that I have reached a reader in a positive way. I don't know if it's so much the written words in the review itself, or the feeling that I have connected with another human being through my work.
