Well here we all are, almost a week into 2017; the Xmas decs are down, we're all back to work and everything is returning to normal.

I did actually start work again on the 1st (although I guess a lot of people out there wouldn't call writing a synopsis work. My response to that is try writing one first and then come see me. It's Wednesday now and I'm still trying to get it right.)

I hope everyone's NY celebrations went off with a bang. I was in bed reading at midnight but did get up to watch people's fireworks from my bedroom window. They've certainly come a long way since the ones of my childhood. Back then my dad would light them and they were finished before he'd run back to us. I always remember the traffic light ones that sent out lights in red, yellow and green. Not a patch on today's ones but I still enjoyed them (a simpler time back then) and sparklers remain my favourite thing to this day. Who doesn't write their name with one as soon as it's in your hand? Just like urinating in the snow (that's a shout out to all the fellas...and possibly some very talented women).

Anyway, back to this synopsis. I've got some agents I want to contact and am sending them details of my second novel, Nothing Ventured, to look at. Hopefully I'll find one that likes humour and not just crime & thriller novels.
