Welcome to my
first blog post of 2014. I hope you had a fabulous Christmas and even better
New Year's Eve. Did you get sloshed? We spent ours with family and friends and
I'm glad to say we had a good old knees up although partying until 5am seemed
like a good idea at the time but my head didn't think so the next day! Anyway,
nothing two painkillers and a big old fry up couldn't sort out.
2013 was a tough
year for me. It tested my strength and weakness to the maximum and you
seriously don't know how strong you are until you are in a situation that
requires all of your strength. But I
did it because I am strong and I am better than that.
Books wise I got
a hell of a lot published. There was Ex's & Shotgun Weddings in January,
Swollen Bellies & Tiny Feet in March and Handbags at Dawn in August. All
did OK but not as great as I hoped or would have liked. Self promotion is one
tough job!
The adventures of
Harley and Spike are continuing with Birthday
Cake & Sandy Beaches. I have learnt so much since publishing the first
in the series. Writing, editing and publishing are a work in progress and
definitely a learning curve.
What else have I
done this year? Well I have met some amazing people and I thank Facebook for
putting me in touch with the people that inspire me the most. Other writers. It
has been a wonderful opportunity. I am not going to lie I have met some
arseholes too and I learnt a valuable lesson. I now know who are my true
friends, who I can live without and who I can't. It wasn't a nice lesson but it
was a lesson best learnt now rather than later.
Did you take
advantage of downloading Handbags at Dawn for FREE over the Christmas period?
My gift to you for being loyal followers. If you have read it, I would love to
hear what you thought of it by leaving a review on Amazon. It’ll only take a
minute.
I am just 8 likes
away from hitting 1700 likes on my fb fan page. I thank each and every one of
you for taking the time to stop by and be a part of my journey. It means so
much!
Oh and I have accomplished
level 260 in Candy Crush. Come on you know that is one hell of an
accomplishment and you are so very jealous!
Plans for this
year....
There are so many,
personal and writing.
Personal includes
moving. That is a MUST. Dieting? Get out of here! How many people’s New Year’s
resolutions is that? Well not mine. Be happy with who you are and if you are
unhappy then do something about it instead of moping.
Writing, more
books of course! The only thing is, juggling home life and finding time to
write is hard. I plan to publish the 5th Cocktails & Tattoos book, Birthday
Cake & Sandy Beaches in May. I am on chapter 10 so I am around half way. I
also plan to bring out another stand alone book, I want to start another series
and a Christmas special. I have so many ideas, it's just a matter of finding
the time to fit it all in. I will also be taking part in a couple of blog tours
and I will continue to build up my fb page and carry on making you all laugh
throughout 2014.
I thank you for
your continued support because you are what keeps me going and I hope you will
keep your eyes peeled for my new stuff. I Also thank the arseholes because
let's face it the world would be a boring place without them and where else
would I get my inspiration from to create the perfect villain?
I wish you all a
happy healthy and successful 2014 but only you can make it into something
bigger and better. There’s three simple rules ~
Rule #1 ~ Do what
makes YOU happy
Rule #2 ~ Never
quit
Rule #3 ~ Always
remember rule #1 & #2
New Year, new
start. Make it yours.
