Nearly the end of summer already?

Morning! I can't believe it's the 28th August already - where did that summer go?! I've been mad busy for the last couple of months, but thought I should launch my revamped website and new blog with a short post explaining a few why's and what's!

Why the new blog? If you already know me, then you will probably be aware that I've had a 'blogger blog' for some time (well, two actually). The other blogs aren't going - you can find the links to them under the heading 'More'.
I will still use my original blogs in much the same way I do now - I'll feature some of my wonderful author friends and tell you about their books, I'll share snippets from my books, reviews, and on the Susie Medwell blog continue to share occasional craft posts and update the list of publishers open to submissions.

Over here I will give you all my book news - cover reveals, news on contracts, release dates, stories I'm working on and any events I will be attending as an author (such as November's Festival of Romance in Bedford).

Summer has certainly whizzed by. Here's a quick run down of mine! I've been away a couple of times (to Barcelona - one of my favourite cities) and topped up the tan, my son had his GCSE results (which were brilliant - I'm a proud mum!) so we had to celebrate those, I've finished the much demanded story about James (from Riding High) and Book 3 of the Good Enough series will be off to the editor soon.

I've had some very exciting news on the publishing front - but I can't share yet, which is murder because I really, really do want to spill the beans! I'l be sharing as soon as I can!

I hope you've had a great summer - let me know what you've been up to :-)
