Do the writers amongst you out there, write every day? It’s my birthday today but I promised myself I would still do some writing today :-) I’ve just done one chapter and done a bit of research into inns in medieval times. A couple of hours well spent I think, even today!

Hello, I’m Back
Hello, I’m back after my little break, and I’m in the thick of it, working on The Little Servant. I’m attending the East Midlands Writer’s Conference in March here in Lincoln, and I have just submitted of some extracts of my book to be considered for an agent 1-2-1 review there. It’s not guaranteed though, so keep your fingers crossed for me.
Hello No 4
Well look what I have here – the link to my fourth book, The Rue Stone, now available on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1695972791/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_U_x_h-oKDbTN3YPA6 via @AmazonUK
The e-book is available to pre-order now, and it will be downloaded on 1st Oct.
If you read it – I hope you enjoy it. Let me know!
Pause for Thought
I’m going to be taking a bit of time out from writing after the Rue Stone is published.
A good friend of mine has just read the first three chapters of The Wait’s Son for me, and given me a light-bulb moment about the start of the book.
It has always seemed a bit muddled and she’s shed some light on why that is. So I’ll be playing about with that, with the aim of cracking on with the book after Christmas.
It was also my intention to catch up on some reading, and read some different authors to the ones that I normally read.
So far on the list I have Duma Key to finish, by Stephen King, then IT, Stephen King, oh and then The Institute !!
Michelle I will fit in some Sharon Penman – promise!
Write On
My first professional critique has certain spurred me on; I submitted my synopsis, and the first three chapters of my current work, The Little Servant – the Wait’s Son. Regular followers will remember that this is the first book in a trilogy of novels set in the medieval period.
The edited highlights of this review were:-
Very well written, right from the beginning
Emotive and page-turning
Sophisticated use of simile and metaphor
Wonderfully descriptive; a perfect balance
Successful in forcing the reader to ask questions and want to find the answers
Seemingly well researched and formulated
A believable time and setting
The writer excels in the descriptive narrative of the story
There are skilful changes of points of view throughout the story
Very pleased.
