Last leg
Hello Readers
I'm now on the last leg of my new novel which I hope to launch soon on Kindle Scout - deadline for me February 8th but hoping to coincide my readers with Valentine's Day ... you will see why, when you read the book.
Do single parents make good writers? Well, it worked for JK Rowling - sometimes the tougher our experience the more we bloom. My book Liberty Angel focuses on her experience of a single parent with two girls, balancing that part of her life, with romance and the difficulties in finding work with an awful lot of spirituality and self belief.
My new novel is also about a single parent with older children taking their final school exams. I like to combine, romance and spirituality with real life situations ... I'd like to say to my readers look for the clues as they aim to empower my readers. Some of this is due to my own past experiences of being a single parents for a period of time I was also on benefits. Some days I watched the electric metre as it used its last £5. Other days I went for long walks in the wood which backed on to my house where I could connect with nature. There are many ways of feeling empowerment on our life's journey. One way is to write because writing is a very healing therapy.
I'm feeling good about my last leg of my novel, so I thought I'd share it with you. Please share with me if you feel inspired.
Love Jennifer

Blogging Again - moving forward
So much has happened since I last wrote an entry that where to start this entry today is proving a little challenging.
I am moving in the next few weeks or months to Nottingham. I will be leaving Suffolk after living here from the age of 11 when I arrived with my parents in the seventies. Ipswich looked all so different then, maybe a little grotty around the edges with the docks consisting of many very old run-down buildings, not like it is today a vibrant hub around a picturesque marina.
First I lived in Stowupland, then after becoming divorced, I lived in One House, Stowmarket, Old Newton and Haughley before moving to Combs in 2011. I know a lot about mid-Suffolk and it is a very beautiful area but my travelling feet have been walking in my mind for some years now. I need my life to be simplified and I also need to be nearer my family. I am ditching the mortgage and other unwanted obligations to streamline my life and make room for more dancing, more travel and family BBQs. I'm looking forward to the change and I'm looking forward to the Trent - I love rivers and I'm pleased that I will be able to take Barney along the banks of this majestic river for long walks. There are sad parts and there are happy parts but generally, it feels right in the heart which is the place where dreams are made.
As things stand at the moment, I am really busy with readings, therapy and temping plus Airbnb. It feels as if all my chickens have come home to roost in a good way and I'm not sure how to get things done with so much pending!! I'm sure that many of you can relate to this!
Organise, organise, organise is what I'm hearing at the moment and don't forget to put it in my diary - where would we be without them but always leave room for spontaneity because that truly is the spice of life!
