Seems it's been a while since my last (book orientated) communication, so here it is - just in time for Christmas.
Firstly I'd like to wish all my Goodreads friends & their families a peaceful Christmas holiday and a cracking 2017.
I hope Father Christmas brings you everything your little hearts desire..............

On the book front the lovely Laura at LLPix has just finished the design for the cover of Book 4. I think it looks great.
It also sailed through the approval of the Quality Control department - namely Ewa and my mother!
I'm still writing and re-writing the summaries for the book itself.
When they're finalized Laura can set to work on creating the cover for the printed edition (rather than the front cover of the ebook).
I've resigned myself to not getting the book 'onto the streets' until Jan 2017 - but that's just fine.

The 5th book?
Well, that's going to be a continuation of Book 3 - The Wagon Mound stories.
It's been exactly a year since I last read anything of the book in question, so I'll be spending the time between now and the New Year re-reading it to get 'back into' the characters.
There were so many involved in the first story it's the only way I'm going to be able to pick up where 'The Search for Sarah' left off.
I'd hate to 'confuse' my characters & their individual personality traits when I begin writing the follow up.........

For me 2016 has been a great year, where I've created some new and already treasured friendships.
Personally I'm looking forward to see if 2017 can get close to matching it.......

In one way the new year will certainly stand out - it's my 60th birthday in February.
I'm still trying to decide in my own mind if it's really a date to 'celebrate' haha.
Keep well all, & stay safe.
Merry Christmas XX
