I hope you have had a great month. The weather in England
has been pretty depressing - grey clouds, cold winds and rain…let’s not forget
about the rain. We have even had hailstorms and dare I say a little bit of
snow. Thankfully, the trees are now beginning to come back to life. Winter in
England may be unpleasant, but she more than makes up for it in the spring and
summer. I cannot wait to be able to venture outside without wrapping myself up
like I am about to embark on an arctic adventure!
We did manage to climb up Glastonbury Tor today…in-between
the rain clouds. It was such fun to watch the new born lambs racing around at
the bottom of the Tor, playing their version of tag and leaping high in the air
at the sheer joy of being alive.
So, apart from the
cold, damp weather and the sweet baby lambs, what’s new in my world?
Well, to start with, I published my novella, The Pitchfork
Rebellion, on Amazon. ‘Pitchfork’ went straight in to the top ten in the UK and
in US, which was fantastic. I wasn’t expecting this book to generate so much
interest, but it did. So a big thank you
to all who have bought it.
I finished the first draft of The Du Lac Devil (Book 2 of
The Du Lac Chronicles), just the other day. I now face the not so pleasant task
of re-writes and making sure the book is exactly how I want it to be, before I
send it off to the editor. I will of course keep you posted as to the books
progress. But I am aiming to release the book around fall.
I have loved every minute of writing The Du Lac Devil. I have
enjoyed getting to know Merton du Lac better, and I was intrigued as to where
the story was going to take me. I knew, before I wrote the first sentence of
this book, how the story was going to end, but I left it up to Merton as to how
I was going to get him there. I should have known better. He certainly threw
some spanners into the works – I know this sounds totally mad, but at times he
seemed to have control of this story – he would leave me gasping in shock,
crying, “Merton! No, what are you doing?” Little good it did me, Merton always
does what he wants. No wonder Budic isn’t talking to him!
Anyway, that is all for now. I hope you have a fantastic
month - there is a lot going on in the blog this month, so be sure to keep an eye on it.
