IT'S THE LAST DAY OF THE YEAR 2007...

... and I hope your new year is filled with love, joy and happiness.

I'd just like to say what a brilliant year this has been for me.
For a major publisher to actually WANT to publish MY book.
To sit in a meeting and listen to folk talk about a bunch of characters who, for their entire lives have been living in MY head.
I can't explain how that feels.

So, goodbye 2007

My Life......

If I am not at the day job, I’m at home doing content for my website, editing my old novel, writing the new one, speaking to my publicist, Editor(s), web developer AND then onto the day job. But, you know what? I aint complaining. No way.

Am working at 'the day job' during alot of christmas as taking too much Annual Leave wouldn't be smart - I get the feeling I'm going to need a few days for next year...

29,000 words of the new novel, written...

... of course it could all be a load of old tosh at the moment. But this is that exciting stage all over again.

My book's on Amazon !!CANADA!!

All good wishes are gratefully and humbly received.

HAD MY BOOK JACKET PICTURES TAKEN TODAY...

.... WHAT A GREAT DAY!!!!!
I feel so buzzed as I write this entry today.
WOW.
What a fun 4 hours, I've just had.
Okay, it may have been freezing posing outside in the cold, but still so much fun.

What was weird, were obvious neighbours of mine looking over at this 'strange girl' surrounded by lighting' equipment and a camera the size of a small country.

''To the left!'' Click. ''Smile to the right!'' Click.

Weird, surreal and nice.

Even if I was caked (and I mean caked) in make- up and I repeat as cold as a choc ice!

Brilliant!
