Randomness
Having a broken ankle involves large amounts of being stuck at home. Luckily this is a good thing for introvert inclined writer types but you can't write 24 hours a day. Given I also have to stay off the ankle a lot, I can't really embark on major home improvement or...
Cover kicks butt!
Yes, I am still alive, yes, I still have a broken ankle and am still in the writing cave with book 3 and therefore am living a life that does not feature much blog-worthy news. But I will do better in December! But first, some exciting news...my lovely cover has...
And now for something different…
Firstly, sorry for the blog silence. I am Mel of little brain and managed to break my ankle two weeks ago so have been preoccupied with adjusting to crutches and plaster and am also head down in my Blood Kin revisions. But for those of you who follow along here, you...

And now…an interlude from New York
