Hello Goodreads
Hi everyone,
I'm finally getting round to blogging and I have to admit straight away to being a total technophobe and having absolutely no idea how blogs work, so I hope that you will bear with me and forgive me if I commit any sort of massive blogging faux pas. Hopefully I'll get better with practice. At the moment I'm not even sure where a blog goes once I press whatever I have to press when I'm done with my ramblings.
I'm guessing that if you are reading this it's because you are interested in my books... so thank you for that. I really enjoy writing - love it in fact - but then I probably wouldn't love it so much if I didn't know that there are readers who enjoy reading what I have written - if that makes any sense.
I can't promise that I will be able to blog very often, for which small mercy you are probably breathing a sigh of relief, because when I'm writing I get completely caught up in the book, and that takes up most of my time. I actually become a bit obsessed if I'm honest, with ideas and dialogue going round in my head even when I'm meant to be doing something else. Of course having a gorgeous red-hot man waltzing through my thoughts is not entirely awful - but it is distracting.
At the moment I've just published 'Champagne Promises and Christmas Lies', so I'm deliberately trying not to think about the next book for a couple of days - well not too much. I've got lots of notes and a rough idea of where it's going. That doesn't always work out.'Champagne Promises'was meant to have been complete in one volume... but because of the Christmas theme I wanted to get it out before Christmas, so I had to split it into two parts when it was obvious that to do it justice it would be longer than originally intended. So, I'm sorry about that but I will be setting the price for the second part as low as possible too, and I hope to complete it by February 2015... but with Christmas fast approaching, I'm already panicking about getting everything done that needs to be done. Meanwhile Callie and Kit (my new characters, not my kids) are calling to me... and I've got a mountain of Christmas cards to write, which I'll inevitably leave to the last possible moment anyway, because I always do. So, yes, I'll be getting back to their story in the next day or so... in fact maybe even later today... except I've just remembered I've got friends coming round later... so that might depend on how much wine we drink. But definitely soon.
I'm also working on the final part of Ellie's Journal - which I've been putting off completing... because it will be the last book that I write about Nick and Ellie... and I'm not sure that I can let them go just yet.
I do have ideas for books about some of the other characters that have appeared alongside them, so Nick and Ellie may still feature from time to time... just to make parting from them a little easier.
So... I better get on with it. As I said before, I'm not sure how this works, so I'll just say goodbye for now, and see what happens.J.R. James
