Sarah’s comments from the Q&A with J.L. Murphey group.

Pity that, I have an American publisher, I live in France and my money comes from England so I guess I opt to pay my taxes should there be enough sales to warrant paying tax in England? Who knows!

I always like knowing whose reading. After my youngest daughter read the paperback she threw it at me andtold me "Oh no, you didn't end it like that!"

Paperback naturally, I'm an old fashioned girl, it's not a book unless it's right there in front of me. A bit like the song 'he's tired of using technolo-jayo'!

Haven't read it? Pick up your paperback from Amazon.com or Createspace.com. All e-formats at Smashwords.com and other e-book distributors.[bookcover:The Sacrificial Lamb|1206..."

Hi Jo as soon as I finish my lastest offering I am going to treat myself to this one I took a sneak peak, right up my street. Well done!

Love it especially poignant since my daughter's baby shower is this weekend. :)

My daughter had a little boy on the 30th August by Caesarian, Hugo and he weighed 3k 500g! Mother and baby doing fine. I will post his picture on my photos.

Well done you, I am pleased for you. Keep up the good work.

My new profile photo is the cover to my new book, what do you think?

Congratulations for getting out of the slush pile and getting traditionally published. Yes, publishing with a publisher definitely has its deadlines. While I understand about waiting unti..."

When I think of slush piles I think of that ice drink my kids just had to have when they were younger! Slush Puppies I think its called, my debut is a romance true life not the Mills and Boon stuff, where nothing bad ever happens and the sun is always shining. Life just isn't like that as I learned the hard way,

I am a former chef too! Before that a legal secretary as for writing more than one book a year I got off to a good start and then floundered a little.

The serial killer is a little heavy and he is wired up wrongly, but then if he wasn't he wouldn't be killing people would he? I am almost finished I won't rush it now and spoil what I hope is a good story I'll have it on my editors desk in time for the September rush have no fear and then maybe I will go back to the sequel or myabe I will look closer at Who Killed Jack Robbins?

A murder mystery I have the inklings of a story based on facts I have roughed out the synopsis all that remains is to put it down on paper and fire off 10,000 words and hand it over to the publishers for the yay or nay!

Thank you for the invite Jo I look forward to learning the tricks of the trade from an experienced writer.

I have been writing a while but until last year I never had the confidence to submit to a publisher. I was shocked when a publisher in Cambridge England requested my full manuscript my debut novel 'The Thin Blue Line' a tale of life, love and unplanned events! Due to be released shortly.

I am frantically writing the ending to my current offering 'Light the Seventh Candle', a change of Genre. I am searching for my 'niche' I have lots of ideas and friends are badgering me to write the sequel to the debut novel. I started it, but I want to wait a while to see how the first one is received before embarking on the sequel.
