Sent off my fifth YA novel for Reluctant Readers and now playing the patience game while I wait to hear back. Hope the news is good! I am preparing my third and fourth novels for a new publisher of YA fiction for reluctant readers in the UK and hope the news is equally good from them - they've asked to see the synopsis and three chapters for each. Fingers are crossed that this time next year I'll be promoting three new books. I can dream!

In the meantime, thanks to all who purchased 'Benched' and 'Living Rough'. I just heard back that they have reached 5,000 and 3,000 copies sold!
