After the call
So I thought I'd keep a record of when various things happen between getting the call and my first book actually hitting the shelves. With the caveat that every publisher is slightly different, so this is how it works with my editor (Jessica Wade), my agent (Miriam...
Still marooned
Still without home adsl. Apparently it's meant to be fixed tomorrow. At this point I'm sceptical but fingers crossed. On Thursday I got sick of trying to keep up with everything online via the iPhone (not to mention was getting concerned about my data allowance for...
Marooned
>Thanks to the gods of communications who decreed that fixing my landline = breaking my adsl I am without Internet at home and can only get online via the iPhone (have I mentioned how much I love my iPhone?) So I'll be tweeting a bit and checking emails but...
Teaser
Just a quick post to let you know that I've posted a quick teaser blurb for Shadow Kin on my website. Hope you like it! And now, having violated the pages before other stuff rule, must knuckle down to do my pages for the night....hopefully Write or Die and the girls...
Nearly
Well, I didn't quite make it to 40k which was my goal for the weekend, thanks mainly to a fit of the tireds yesterday and a fit of the generally uninspireds today. But I did still manage 7 pages today so that's not a complete write-off. If I do six tomorrow I'll hit...

Paying it forward or Contest!!
Like most writers, I came to my love of stories by reading. I learned to read young and haven't stopped since. I have even, in the past, been accused of eating books. My favourite authors have provided me with countless hours of pleasure, distraction and comfort when...
The call
Sorry there has been blog silence but there have been great things afoot which I have not been allowed to blog about... Some of you may have heard the news already but people, I have sold a book! In fact, I have sold three. On the 20th of February I finally got "the...
Spinning around
Sorry, I've been awol. Last week I got unexpectedly sick (does one ever get expectedly sick?) in the middle of the week then spent the rest of the week trying to catch up. This week a combination of hot hot hot days and horribly humid nights, looming deadlines at the...
100
Yay, have cracked one hundred pages...hopefully a bit under a third of the way through the draft now! Would like to be around 250 at the end of the month, so let's see how that goes!
