Enjoy!

My fabulous weekend in London...

I waited for months...but finally the date arrived....27th October 2012 - the night that Muse were playing the o2 in London - and I had my glorious ticket! (Along with my daughter's).
Yes, Jessie and I are huge fans of Muse - I'm afraid I converted her into a fan years ago with my relentless playing of their songs (funnily enough, my younger daughter Chloe can't stand them...weird...she's into One Direction - agreed, the less said the better.)
Anyway...Muse were fantastic - goes without saying I know, but they really were. Matt was in fine voice and he looked pretty damned fine too. It was my fourth Muse concert - I've seen them at Nottingham Arena, Sheffield Arena, Machester Old Trafford and now at the o2 in London...bliss - can't wait for the next tour!
I've got to say - London was just beautiful. We decided to make a weekend of it and arrived in London Royal Docks, Docklands to stay in our hotel. Then we hopped on the tube to London Bridge and strolled down the river to see the houses of Parliament and back again. We had lunch in this fabulous mediterranean restaurant called Troia - I highly recommend it - beautiful food, great service and reasonable prices.
On our way back we went through a street market which was really lovely. Everyone we spoke to throughout the entire weekend was lovely and friendly and I found London (the bit we went to anyway) to be really lovely, really clean and incredibly well managed. I'm planning our next trip - we're going for a shopping weekend closer to Christmas and I seriously can't wait to go again!

...If I can't have you... and ...The One that Got Away...

Two new ebooks on their way. 'If I can't have you' is almost complete - then of course it has to be edited and the like, but I'm confident that it will be out by around the end of November. The second, 'The One that got Away' will be out around March 2013 I'm guessing at the moment.

I'm also working on number 9 of the Seltham Community College series, Red Button - it's coming along nicely, but there's a lot to put in it and I'm figuring on a publishing date of around January 2013.

The follow up to Midnight Moon - The Wolf Moon is delayed at the moment - Again I'm guessing at around April -May 2013 for that one.

Will bring you more updates in the coming weeks - until then - have a great day and see you soon xxx

"The one that got away..."

I was listening to Paloma Faith's 'picking up the pieces' song on the radio the other day, and I was inspired to write a book about Rachel, a young woman who loses her husband in a car accident when she's only twenty five and he's twenty eight...
I've gotten started and it's coming on nicely - might have it finished early next year, but I can't promise anything since I've got books stacking up waiting to get out there!
I've almost finished "If I can't have you" and that's going through the lengthy process of editing - also doesn't have a front cover yet.
I'm doing alright with Red Button too - again I'm reckoning on early 2013 for a release date - things are way too busy at the moment!
And don't expect to see the Wolf Moon any time soon - I've lost the plot on it completely at the moment, so I'm leaving it a while to see what comes back to me!
Anyway - it's a lovely day today, sunny and warm - there won't be many days like this left in the year - make the most of it! Laters xxx

Red Button update

Phew - my little fingers have been going like bee's wings today!
I'm really enjoying writing my latest Seltham Community College book, about the Delgardio triplets.
Angelica has a thing about Karl, the bass player of the Red Button band, Ricardo is enjoying his new found status of heartthrob a little too seriously and it being a bit of a tart...and Antonio is trying to hold it all together....
Have just finished my favourite bit of the book so far - a night out that starts out fun, and ends up a bit of nightmare with Toby being stuck on the roof of a hotel and Antonio and Karl having to rescue him...
I would expect that I'll have got this one round about finished at the end of next month, with a release date of November 2012. Well, that's the plan at the moment - of course there are other books that are clamouring to get out there too, so watch this space for more updates!

Red Button Romance

I'm really enjoying myself with this one - to the point that I've actually written the full song "Forbidden" which features in the book - I know the tune and everything - but I can't read or write music, so I'm stuffed on everything but the words....
Anyway - I've already written the end of the book - that's kind of what I started with and I've worked backwards on it - weird I'll agree.
At the same time, though, I've had an idea for another three books - entirely separate from the Seltham series - and entirely separate from each other too  - and once I get an idea, well - you know by now - I get a little obsessed and I can't let them go...
The first one, I've actually almost finished - it's for an adult audience (now don't get excited - it's no 50 shades by any means) as there is a fair amount of swearing and a sprinkling of relationship 'stuff'' that I feel is necessary for the story - unfortunately it doesn't have a title yet....
The second is just at the idea stage - I've done around a thousand words, just outlining the beginning and the third (bizarrely enough since I can't come up with a title for my almost finished one for love nor money) is simply a title - and the title is "Never Invite the Ex to your wedding...." I'm gonna have fun with that one!
Anyway - enjoy the very last bit of your weekend and I'll write soon xxx

It's here....at last... I present to you "The Genie and the master who loved him."

Okay- so finally it got finished! And I'm happily tapping away at the old keyboard with the follow up - Red Button Romance, which concentrates on the Delgardio Triplets that make up 3/5 of the Red Button band.
I uploaded Genie a couple of days ago to Smashwords, where it is immediately available for purchase at $0.99. It will be distributed to all the usual channels next month or so (Barnes & Noble, Sony, Kobo, Diesel, Apple etc)
I've put the first couple of chapters my additional pages for you to have a sneaky peak - or you can download a sample from Smashwords if you prefer!
Anyway I shall dash off now as my half written chapter is beckoning me!
See you soon
