Images, Songs and Finishing Revisions

Hi everyone It’s been a while since I wrote in my Blog, and that’s because, as you may have guessed, I’ve been frantically busy writing. I had my editorial revisions for Book 2 given to me at Christmas time. I couldn’t start working on them straight away because Christmas is a time for families, and in the new year mother nature intervened in the form of the Queensland...

HIDDEN LAUNCH

Thank you to all who braved the weather and came to Hidden’s launch yesterday at Marks & Gardner Gallery & Bookshop on Mount Tamborine, it was a wonderful, intimate event and I can’t thank you all enough.

Last Minute Cover Change for Hidden

Hi everyone It’s been a long time since I last posted on my blog. I have no excuse except that I’ve been really busy doing what I love, and you all know what that is! So now Hidden is all complete and ready to go to the printers. But at the last minute my publishers decided to change the cover, so Hidden will look completely different than the cover I showed you earlier. I have...

HIDDEN - the Cover is Out!

Hidden will be released March 14, 2013. I can’t wait! For those of you who have been with me from the very beginning, when Old Magic was first released in October of 2000, followed by The Named, The Dark and The Key in 2004, you will know how long it has been. 2004 was the year I found out I had bone marrow cancer. Now I am eight years cancer free and eight years since my last published...

The Birthday Party

Hi everyone, I had a great time at my grandson’s birthday party yesterday. Even though he was sick with an ear infection, and was a little quieter than usual, and didn’t wil pass the parcel, he was a good boy. He played all the games, and shared his shiny new toys with all his friends who came and had a good time. I really enjoyed catching up with the lovely mum’s and...

HIDDEN

Hi everyone I have just returned home from a very sad trip to Sydney to farewell my amazing mother who passed away on the 27th of April, 2012. At 88 she lived a long life completely devoted to her family. She had four children, of which I am the youngest, 14 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren. She was loved by all who knew her and will be dearly missed. And waiting at home was an email...

Been too long...

It has been far too long since I last wrote on my blog, and I apologise for this. I have had a few personal issues to deal with as well as my final revisions for Hidden and working hard to make Book 2 a reality. Book 2 remains untitled at this stage but is progressing well. On the personal side, both my husband and my Mum are in hospital and have been for weeks. Actually, my mother has been in...
