First of all thank you to everyone who has supported me and encouraged me to write again. The last few years have been tough but things are finally heading in the right direction! So much so that I’ve finished Cassie’s story and it’s with the editor! I’m not sure on a release date just yet so watch this space but book #2 will be out soon!

This story was a difficult one to write and I hope I’ve done the characters proud. I have it under good authority, it’s a bit of a tear jerker so have the tissues ready!

Falling to Pieces is the second book of the Broken series and focuses on Cassie, Ellie’s best friend. New characters have been introduced and I haven’t forgotten about a few of the old favourites who will hopefully in time tell their own stories.

Thank you peeps! I wouldn’t be here without you x

For a quick update, please see link below.

Thank you 💕

Hi!

Unfortunately life has a way of throwing obstacles in the way which often means things, such as writing, get shifted to the side while you concentrate on just getting through one day at a time.

These obstacles however are what make us stronger and on a occasion provide us with hope that was once lost and the fight to carry on. In my case, my experiences over the last few months has given me enough writing material for a lifetime! And as each day passes, I get stronger, find another piece of the person I once was. I will never be that person again but its nice to see glimpses because it gives me something to work with. It gives me light in what otherwise has been a very dark tunnel. But that will be a story for another day...

So...poor old Cassie has been asleep for a while but I'm pleased to say she is finally awakening. Progress is still currently slow...but there is progress and for me, at this point of my life, I will take anything I can get.

I can't guarantee a release date for this still unnamed title of the Broken series because life is still throwing those damn obstacles but along with Cassie, I am awakening too and am keen to bring to life the rest of her story.

Keep smiling :)

Hello beautiful people!!

A little while back I did a book promotion on Kindle - Picking Up the Pieces was free for a little while on Amazon to try and boost sales. It's hard being an unknown author you know!!! lol

Well, this time Picking Up the Pieces will be free on iTunes until Monday 5 October. Spread the word!!!!

Ok...best be off! Need to write....can't leave Cassie hanging in hospital now can I?

Picking Up the Pieces

Sorry I've been away for so long.

Unfortunately I have had things come up that have kept me away from my laptop!!

But....I am back now and with a teaser for Book 2 of the Broken series....Cassie's story.

'The face looking back at me scared me. Her face was gaunt, making her high cheek bones more defined. Her usual bright blue eyes were now pale and lifeless by comparison. Her skin was paler than normal and her lips were bloody and cracked. She looked like the woman who gave her up eighteen years ago. The same woman who gave birth to her twenty six years ago.

I closed my eyes and winced as the pain shot across my right eyelid and along the top of my cheek bone. I was certain I could feel the pain right down to the very tips of my lashes. The pain continued down the side of my face my heavily bruised jaw. I sucked in a breath and choked down the lump that had formed in my throat. Tears threatened to spill from my eyes but I couldn’t shed them now. Instead I returned my attention back to the face looking at me. I swiped it away angrily at stray tear that had managed to escape. I silently screamed. How dare she make an appearance in my life now! She was supposed to be thousands of miles away, rotting in a cell. Realisation dawned and I collapsed against the wall, still staring at the face that had haunted me for years. Except… it wasn’t her face. The face staring back at me was…me.'

Hope you enjoyed that small passage!

But now I must go...I need to write the end of this story!!!

Over and out x

But I guess you didn't know I had ever been away!

Well, I had a week off from writing to spend time with Robin Hood and his merry men in Sherwood Forest. Scrap that...he was busy robbing the rich and giving to the poor, so I was in the company of my lovely family instead.

I had never been there before and I must say, I shall be returning. Despite traditional British weather...rain...it is a beautiful place and truly inspirational. I may well bring the Broken series out of Vancouver to the UK...cabin in the forest, beautiful scenery...with equally gorgeous people.

Question is...who will they be?

Watch this space!!

Well, since releasing Picking Up the Pieces, I have been working hard on the second book of the series. As mentioned in my first blog (EVER!), this will focus on Cassie and will bring new characters into the mix.

So far things are going slowly (married, working mum of 3 kiddies)but I am pleased to say they are going well.

Reviews and ratings of my debut novel have really given me the boost that I needed. I am so happy that people seem to be enjoying my book...I took a leap of faith into the daunting world of self publishing and if I'm honest, I was extremely scared!

There is no doubt I will get a bad review at some point...I know my book won't be everyone's cup of tea and that's fine, but seeing the reviews and ratings I have so far received here and on Amazon has been a massive confidence boost. I'm not so scared anymore! Thank you!!

So...book 2. Still untitled! It's funny because I personally find giving my stories a title, the hardest part. I will continue to plod along with Cassie's story and hopefully along the way I'll be 'hit' with a spark of inspiration!

As for other books I am working on...I am at the planning stage of a standalone rom com, a possible thriller and of course there will be more books to come of the Broken series. Who do you think they should be about......?

This is my first blog...EVER!!!

So, apologies if it is rubbish!!!

Okay...this morning after I dropped the kids off at school I decided to look at other peoples blogs to get an idea of what I should write. Being an unknown author, I am pleased to say I have had good reviews and sales have been steady but I need to get myself out there! Introduce myself to the world...

Unfortunately, words failed me. So...I had a decision to make!

Paint the living room or writing another chapter of my next book? After following Ellie and Kyle' s story, book two of the Broken series focuses on Ellie's best friend and fellow Brit, Cassie, and introduces you to some new characters. I am making good progress so surely my decision to was to write...!

No - I chose to paint the living room. With Guns n' Roses blaring in the background I got stuck in, moaning that the consistency of the paint was wrong and it wasn't covering well. Hours pass and then hubby comes home from work. He looks impressed...then he starts searching for patches I have missed. We sit down and have a cuppa and then he asks...Emma, why are you painting the wall with outside masonry paint?

Yes, my living room is now protected against the elements for 10 years!!!

I really should have chosen to write...

So...this is me! Hello book lovers! I hope to get to know you soon but I what I really hope for is that you add, read and enjoy my first book.

Over and out xx
