Trying to Catch My Breath

Wow – where has two weeks gone?

Trying to catch my breath and it’s not just because of this blasted cold I have. Or because I’ve been running around doing errands for my poor mum, Celine, who’s in hospital with pneumonia. Get better soon, mum!

Revisions on “An Angel’s Embrace” are underway and I entered a USA competition with the revamped first chapter. Will hear late October if the judges loved or hated it.

Very pleased to report that the very talented Margaret Midwood has finished her revisions and sent them off to the HM&B UK office.

My gorgeous niece, Zahra, turned ONE (where did the year go?) on Friday.

Here are some photos of the little miss enjoying her party.




Isn't she just gorgeous!

Finally, very happy to report that tonight I received a request from Silhouette Desire for the FULL manuscript of “The Tycoon’s Toughest Adversary.” YAY!!

Will be giving it a quick read-through/revise, then it’s off to hopefully it’s new home. Yes, please!
So if you don’t hear from me (apart from the occasional scream of insanity), I’ll be deep in revising mode for the Desire AND the Angel book.

That’s it for now.

Spring has sprung!

Arrrhhhhhh…another month. And it’s spring. And it’s only 4 months until Christmas. Arrhhhh!

Deep breaths…deep breaths.

I’ve been busy, working on “An Angel’s Embrace.” Hoping to finish it in the next few weeks and email the book off to the USA with a cyber hug & kiss for good luck.

In the meantime, I’m also helping a very, VERY talented friend get her revisions finished and her book back to Harlequin Mills & Boon UK office. Go Margaret! I have everything crossed for you.

And in between that, there’s the normal boring stuff of work, cooking, cleaning, washing, dieting and exercising (the last two I’ve been very slack with over the past months).

Bye for now.
