Ok, so it seems as though I’m really bad at this. The trouble is life. It happens and it doesn’t stop and then when it’s happening there’s all these life-things to attend to and because most of them are fairly important, like work and making food and coffee, and especially coffee, then it’s difficult to say to yourself ‘Hey, maybe you should go and write one of those blog posts’, not least because I don’t really think that anyone is going to be too interested in hearing about my boring life-things. Unless you like coffee.

Anyway. I have been busy on one or two other bits and pieces, so I think I might stick it here and see how it goes.

The main thing is this: my WiP YA fantasy trilogy is no longer a WiP. It’s done.

Kinda. Almost.

It’s never going to be ‘done’ because I’m an inveterate twiddler with a compulsive desire to read and polish things until they’re as smooth as a greasy pig, but the basic point is that they are complete. Book #1 ‘The Signs of Magic’ is in the query trenches as I write. Books #2 and #3 are at the ‘this is very definitely the last round of edits’ phase.

So yeah, that’s my news.

See you again in a year.
