April showers...
April kicked off with my third book signing and this time it was on my home turf, Yorkshire. Having lived away from my family for nearly twenty-five years, it was so lovely to come back and have the support of my mum, sister and oldest friends. These ambassadors of mine promoted Confide in Me around the local area so most of the book signing was spent meeting and making new friends. Here’s hoping the book will be enjoyed and passed on across the region.
I was inspired by a local social media group promoting random acts of kindness and decided to spend April planting free copies of my book for people to find in strange places. I had some real fun with the challenge and tagging clues on my own social media. The most irregular place had to be on Old Pale Hill in Delamere Forest at 6am. I’d love to know where these books have ended up and if their owners loved the story, if that’s you, please let me know!
On 20th April, I waved off Mr K (hubbie) to take part in the run of his life, the Marathon des Sables in Morocco. Just over six months ago we lost his father John and so he set about training for the ultimate foot race. As he had already completed many regular marathons and ultra marathons over the years, the challenge had to be epic therefore 251km across the Sahara in 6 days ticked the box.
He prepared so well, even training in heat chamber in Manchester at 40 degrees to prepare for the harsh environment and as I write this I will be leaving shortly to pick him up, I can’t wait and am so proud to announce that he absolutely smashed the challenge coming in 69th position out of a field of over 1000 and raising nearly £6000 for the British Heart Foundation, amazing!
After soring out my plantar fasciitis with a new pair of trainers, my own running picked up again so the 80-mile challenge is back on for June. The training is helping me think of plots for the new book so not only am I getting fitter, but I’m also working too!
Special thanks to my friend Chiz who I interviewed informally for some character research and her brilliant answers have kick started my creativity, book 2 is well on the way! Hurrah! I’m hoping to keep up the momentum and meet my deadline of finishing in the summer…
