Today I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. I took over someone else’s group for the day (with their permission, I might add) and talked about my writing, my recent release of One Hot Summer, my next release in November of The Family at No.12, and my current WIP, the first in a new series with a working title of Revenge. During the course of the day I actually typed THE END in this book, so it was a really good day all round.
I ran a couple of competitions – one a giveaway of three signed copies of One Hot Summer, and the other a competition to have their name used in a book. Brilliant day, and a welcome break from my usual day.
I go on holiday very soon, to a little village called Mundesley in Norfolk. Our back bedroom looks… messy. The bed is covered with clothes, and I keep putting things in the holdall, then taking them out again. I’ll be glad when we’re on our way. Our house sitters thankfully won’t see their bed looking like that.
So, I am now looking forward to the November launch of The Family at No.12 – 29th November to be exact. This book wrote itself, and I loved writing it. What sparked the idea? I saw something in a newspaper and the phrase a house with no books was used. My book was born. As usual I had no idea of any sort of plot, but I put down my first sentence, and off I went. It was a joy to write, and I managed three murders during the course of it. Loved it, loved it, loved it. In addition the cover is something special, so all’s right in my world at the moment.
