So, just checking in with everyone. Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, whether it was busy with family and friends, or quiet and restful. Mum and I and the furries had a quiet Christmas - ate too much, watched TV & DVDs, read, went for a couple of walks. Very restful!

Can I just add, for those who have a DVD or book at the bottom of the TBR pile, that that book or DVD may just turn out to be awesome? I had pushed The Chronicles of Shannarah TV series to the bottom of the TBWatched DVD pile and pulled it out in a fit of not-knowing-what-to-watch, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This has happened to me with books I've shoved to the bottom of the TBR pile only to find, when I've finally picked it up to read, that's it's the Best Book Ever and I've had to go and gradually buy the back-list! So just a little hint, my dear friends.

So saying, I'm having a wonderful time reading the Tomes of Bill. Also spending some of my holidays playing with new program concepts for book covers, playing with box set covers, cruising the internet looking at weird and wonderful things (especially on You Tube) and thinking about TWD S7 which is coming in the New Year. About Oct. Long way away. Okay, not wanting to think about that so much anymore ;-)

Anyway, hope you're all feeling rested after Christmas!

cheers!!

Whoooo! Have to share this! Mum came home yesterday. Still has the drain in, we're going early tomorrow morning to PACS (Post Acute Care Service) who will check the drain and re-dress everything, then we go again Tues afternoon and if all is well, the drain might come out. She's finished with antibiotics and now it's just rest, recuperation and gentle exercise. Evie (one of the furries) is stoked that her beloved Grandma is home! LOL What a relief. So awesome to have her home in time for Christmas.

Thank you to everyone for your well wishes and prayers, it has been a great help.

cheers

Thank you to all those who have read and enjoyed Secrets! I appreciate your patience while waiting for this book, I know it was a long time coming.

I have to admit I'm tickled pink that so many of you want Mitch's story...and Katie's. What can I say? Is it next? Do Mitch and Katie get together? Is there another hero for Katie? Is it one of the other blokes? Ummmm...cannot say right now! I mean, I know, but I'm not telling just yet. LOL

I can say I have cover pics for the characters already, so that's a bonus! Well, for me it's a bonus, maybe not for you yet ;-) but ti will be!

Christmas is around the corner, work is busy, my brother, SIL & niece are currently visiting, so it's all go at the moment. Not had a lot of time for writing - this is the first time in two and a half years we've seen my brother and family, so it's been great catching up. Put into the mix that we have a friend's 2 cats coming tomorrow to stay with us for a few days, our own cats are NOT impressed that their routine has been interrupted, and I have to go to work in-between, and yes, there's not much time for writing. But by the weekend, all should be back to normal, I have the weekend off work, so I'll start writing again.

Which one next? I have to tell you that I really need to re-edit and re-write the 2nd H&S book, but I'm really going to push that one and get it done asap so I can get started on a new book. I'm still contemplating another Ang Kemp novella or straight into another Hope Bay book. You'll know as soon as I do!

Meanwhile, happy reading -whatever you're reading. 'Cause you can never go wrong with reading!

cheers

Just a few more days and it's Christmas. I love this time of the year. It may not be fancy this year, may be a little more subdued, but it's still a time to remember the true meaning of Christmas.
So share a smile with someone, maybe hand them that extra piece of Christmas cake, leave a nice card for the lonely person down the street. It all means something to someone.
Don't forget your little pets, don't forget those animals that are hungry and homeless - even a small donation to an animal charity can do so much good.
Whether you spend it alone, with your furry (or finned/feathered/scaled etc friend), your family or friends, know that you are special to someone. Buy yourself a little something special, no matter how small, sit back and look around you at the miracles that happen every day – the flowers, the sun that rises, the moon, the stars, the birds, a smile from someone, a ‘hello’, a nod.
You are a part of the world! *hugs*

So, in the spirit of giving, I know everyone is doing it hard, so maybe ebooks aren't on the list this year due to the cost of things.
