I was going to post yesterday
I’m still easing into writing mode, I suppose, and I want to work out a healthier pace than I have been going at. Madeira is such a pretty island, and the weather is starting to warm up again. Actually, the winter is very mild, but this year it’s rained quite a lot. Summer can be…

Oh hey, this has happened
I’ve mandated myself to take a week off except for generic self-publishing chores, but look at this: I accidentally got to the no. 1 spot in a category, and it came with a little flag. I doubt it’ll stay that way, but I’m keeping the screen shots =) Also, it might technically be in the…

‘Only until Midnight’ review
So this is interesting: A beloved classics new take The story of Cinderella, a slight twist in the fairytale we all know and love. Pros: this author has fantastic descriptions, the point of view the story was told from was wonderful, and I appreciated the love and depth that Ella had for her mother. Cons:…

You have to see my new Cinderella blurb
You guys, I love Melanie. She’s the bestest egg among eggs. Look what she’s done, with her clever head-brain full of… I don’t know, must be magic or something. She said she took extra care with my Cinderella blurb because she knows it’s important to me. I actually want to cry a bit, but I…

I say pretty much because it’s easy to accidentally vote more than once on those polls. The colour options were a bit more divided,…

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it
I’m having quite a bit of fun writing Cinderella (it is Cinderella, in case anyone was wondering). I’m trying to stick to good, solid fairy-tale fundamentals. It’s one of those stories, isn’t it, where the moral is; you reap what you sow. I’m eight thousand words in, and I’ll be surprised if it breaks 25,000.…

Amazon keeps recommending me my own books
They’re exactly my thing, of course, but I hope other people are getting these emails too. I’m doing alright. I know I’ve been a bit more quiet than usual. I’m still in need of a rental, but fingers crossed I have a viewing soon. I’ve been busy. I’m writing two books now, I’ll tell you…
