Phew…

… well, Book Four has been safely delivered before the delivery of Baby Two. I am relieved I won’t have to finish a novel with a verrrry small sprog (8 weeks!) as I did with Spirit Hunter.  My brain was so sleep-deprived it was like swimming through a big jar of syrup. Looks like I got away with it though – a nice review for Spirit Hunter in the Independent recently, hurrah!

Wonderful workshops!

WOW! I had a great time last week in Luton doing workshops with some fantastic budding writers. There are definitely some future thriller/soap opera writers around there! I really enjoyed visiting Central Library and Marsh Farm Library, too – excellent all round.

Spirit Hunter!

… hits the shops today! Get involved with a bit of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon style action – oh yeah, with shamanism and spying and forbidden love too. How can you possibly resist?
