No. I don't write horror.

I put the faltering project aside and do something else (related) ..like work on illustrations/covers, write a short story, start another novel ...I find that blocks resolve themselves after a break.
If all else fails ... I go make a coffee! :)

I get to work in p.j.'s if I want to (though, to be honest, I feel more 'professional' when I change clothes for daytime wear) ...and I get to take my dog to work every day.

Keep writing, regardless:
I attended a talk given by the editor of Fremantle Press in Western Australia. Her repeated answer to questions about the relative importance of having a 'platform' to gain attention ...i.e. website, reviews, Facebook page, blog, etc. was consistently, "It's ALL ABOUT THE WRITING."
I took the hint and just kept on writing...my advice is that you should do the same.

The sequel to 'A Good Read' ...tentatively titled 'An Ounce of Prevention'.

Travelling, reading, dreaming, ...and being sufficiently introverted that I enjoy spending time creating imaginary worlds for my characters to inhabit.

I have two 'most recent' books (both available for pre-order and out in September and October):
The idea(s) for Leaf On a Breeze (the sequel to Flowers In The Morning) come from a number of sources ...living in London (which, unlike Hamish, I loved!), visiting a lot of National Trust gardens and a fascination with fairies, among them.
'A Good Read' is set in a city that bears a close resemblance to one I used to live ...I wanted to explore the idea of being able to interact with characters from old books.
