Hi Everyone

I have been having a bit of a break from writing because I have felt a little rush and I can see the effects of this in my writing.

This is why I have decided (after much thought) that I am going to push back the release date of Split Blood 3 to after summer.

I do not want to publish something I am not fully happy with and this is the main reason for the delay.

I will still focus on improving it but in the meantime I will continue to post the chapters of Love Bite on Wattpad and work...

Hey guys

It has been an interesting few days and my day job has really taken over all of my spare time but I am happy to announce I have done another Guest Post, which will hopefully help more of those who want to go into the self-publishing industry.

I want to thank Ruty at the Reading...Dreaming Blog for giving me the opportunity to discuss this topic and to provide my own experiences of this unique journey.

For more information on the advantages (and disadvantages) of self-publishing a book,...

Happy Sunday everyone!

I hope you've all had a great weekend.

I managed to do a little writing this weekend as well as catching up with a few friends and playing with these two cuties...the cats but they only made me want two kitties of my own!
  
I must admit, I do love cats but after loosing my own, when I was younger, it is a little hard to think about getting another.

I always used to think people were a little over the top when I would hear them say that there pets were "part of the...

Hey Everyone

Along with doing Author Interviews and trying to balance my day job with my writing, I completed a Guest Post at Christmas, which discussing the issues self-published authors face over the festive period.

Although it discusses the Christmas holidays, it can apply to all holidays and outlines my difficulties with trying to remain focused on writing, helpful hints and tips on trying to stay organised, getting creative and using the holidays as inspiration for your stories, plus much...

It's the start of the weekend and I'm so happy to kick it off with this Author Interview by Angela on the Horror Maiden's Book Review Blog .

This week has been so tiring with working my full time job, trying to do some more chapters of my Teen Fiction story, ' Love Bite ' and my car deciding to throw a wobbly and not start due to the cold UK weather.

So, it was so refreshing to get the link to my Author Interview to remember the fun I had answering Angela's questions.

To find out more about why I w...

Hi everyone

It has been a few weeks since I have published a Guest Post but I'm happy to say I have finally done another one and the topic is very important for me to discuss.

Many people have their own opinions about self-published authors!

Whether it be:

Anyone can self-publish their workThe quality of work is not as good as a traditionally published booksIf you hammer social media sites with your books then you will become a successAll of the above and more...
In my Guest Post , I discuss the mi...

Hi everyone!

Well, its official...it's a snowing Sunday in the UK!
It's funny because when I was a child, I used to pray for it to snow because it meant snow ball fights, building snowmen (or snow women to be politically correct! Lol), getting my coat soaking wet when I made snow angels and sledging.

Now, as an adult, that excitement has gone and has been replaced with praying my car will start in the morning and dreading going out into the cold.

At least the cold weather isn't being wasted as I...

Hi, my magical friends!

OK, so I had a lovely lie in this Saturday morning because it is so cold in the UK and I really wish someone would invite that magical bed that you could do all your business from! Lol

I have written seven chapters so far of my FREE Wattpad story, Love Bite (I will be posting Chapter 7 later tonight) and I'm really enjoying developing Luci's character as she is kidnapped and dragged into a deadly realm with spoilt vampire, Tynan and his troll slave.
There are a few shocks...

Hello, my magical friends!
My week has been a little hectic with the demands from my day job, catching up on my emails and sorting out the video editing software I bought for myself at Christmas.
I'm looking forward to trying it out at the weekend because I can't wait to redo my trailers!
I'm hoping to hibernate this weekend and just solely focus on Split Blood 3 and maybe a little more on my FREE Wattpad (@FantasyFairy) Teen Fiction story,  Love Bite.
Throughout the week, I have been noting...

It's a sad day when one of my favourite artists dies!

If you don't know anything about David Bowie then here's a little introduction about the British icon...
