Picture me, if you will, sitting here at my PC hanging my head in shame. Not literally, since that would make it difficult to type, but figuratively. Why? Because I have just realised that a whole year has passed since my last blog post. Of course, I'm not so arrogant as to imagine that my silence has caused anyone to lose sleep; in fact, I rather suspect that nobody has even noticed. But that doesn't stop me from feeling a bit ashamed. That’s because I know writers need discipline. Ideally, we should write for a few hours every day but we should also find some time for social media activities, if only to remind people of our existence. Well, during the last few months I've been writing up a storm while working on my new novel, The Beaulieu Vanishing. Unfortunately, in my enthusiasm for the project I have let things slip with regard to blogging, tweeting and general social interaction. Now that the book is being readied for publication, I’ve had a chance to review my working practices and have resolved to do better from now on. After all, I can’t expect the world to be interested in me if I don’t make an effort to engage with the world.
