When Life Couldn't get Any Worse...

Found myself nearly at the end of my tether this week. Depression had taken a few days off, but now it’s back with a vengeance. My back seems to have finally forgiven me and my knee still has an axe to grind, but that should not account for my frequent impersonation of a blubbering wreck. I have the unshakeable feeling that just one more disaster will break someone’s back, probably mine.
Then, just as I was doing my best to pull myself together, the worst flu in history struck and the depression found a few more notches to climb…
Didn’t think the week could get any worse and was not prepared for it getting any better, but the following day it did. I was woken up at four o’clock in the morning by the characters from my recently finished (soon to be launched) book banging on and on in my head about needing another chance to sort their lives out. To be fair, they were coming up with some good ideas as to how this could be managed. Significantly, the only one who wasn’t nagging me, was the annoying voice that only Kate can hear. And before you could blink, I was building the storyline and plotting my head off. Apparently, they want a new playmate and are being very insistent. I cannot argue with them, as they have more than proved their worth. And they should get the credit, for most of the time all I did was follow their orders!I never realised how much fun writing a book could be, and I am more than delighted that the next one seems to be waiting in the wings.
I still don’t understand why is it that some mornings you wake up feeling as though you spent the night with Doom and Gloom, and others have you springing out of bed full of optimism?All I can say is that I am grateful for it, as life is proving to be so very short without it…

Introducing a preview of ‘The Last Life, soon to be launched on Amazon.
The amazing cover was created for me by Chris Graham, The Story Reading Ape.
Bet you didn't know he does this, as well as being best help an author could ask for?


Book Blurb
Kate Devereau wakes up in a hospital, unable to speak or move. Her brain has shut down, refusing to acknowledge her dark and disturbing past, concealing a web of painful secrets.

Michael Barratt brought her to the hospital, insisting that her ex-husband had tried to kill her. And from the state of him, had tried to kill him too. He had been searching for Kate for years, ever since their doomed love affair, only to discover someone else had been hunting her too.

With the help of the DI David Snow, Kate will gradually piece her life back together, only to discover the nightmare is far from over.
Her first instinct is to run, but David Snow convinces her to stay and help him put an end to the nightmare. A nightmare that will get progressively worse before it gets better.

Haunted by his own demons, will the Snowman manage to catch the twisted killer?

Evil lurks in this story and people die, but amidst the tears and heartache, a lost love struggles to survive…
