New Life

In a strange way I have come to think of my writing process as a little bit like having a baby...you nurture it, help it grow and then finally you put it out into the world and, from that moment on, you spend all your time worrying... Will people like it? Will it get on with the other 'kids'? Can you walk it through to maturity? Could you even do it all over again? And just like with a real baby, the gestation period is almost the easy part... What comes next is the hardest part, as being self-published means that there is no marketing team, no PR, so everything left up to you get the word out. But I love it, just like my own baby, and wouldn't change it for the world!

Review: Circle in the Sand by Lia Fairchild

I loved the premise of the story; four points of view, four friends each at a crossroads in their lives and the potential for their friendship to move in very different directions.

The story flows very well with each character bringing their own spin on events, both past and present, ensuring that the tale moves at a good pace. By the end of the book I felt like I was part of the circle and my only disappointment was that I wanted to know more about each character and I wanted them to be my friends too. I particularly loved that each character was so different; I felt like I knew a version of Jax, Emily, Sage and even Ned in my own life and I could identify with each and every one.

I loved this book and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an enjoyable, easy read. *****

New Year...New You

We all strive to be different. And New Year seems to be the time where we all start making outlandish resolutions that we haven't got a hope in hell of keeping.  So here are my resolutions which I hope will keep me sane through 2014:

.... write with passion

.... love with all my heart

.... never be 'normal'

and maybe try a new hair colour!
