In the News Today

Happy Monday, everyone. Can you believe it's the middle of April already? Yikes. The weekend passed in a glorious blur of cream teas at Kensington Palace, champagne, yummy Thai food . . . it's a tough life, what can I say!

Amidst all of that, though, I'm delighted to report that I've finally finished the third draft of Construct A Couple! The second and the third drafts are always the hardest for me, as I attempt to wrangle the plot and character development into something that makes sense. From here on (I hope), it's mainly fleshing out scenes and rewriting bits 'n' bobs.

And in other news:

Build A Man is now out in paperback! You can order yours now on Amazon UKor Amazon.com. It's been available on Kindle now since November and sold over 15,000 copies, which I'm really pleased with  (not to mention 45,000 free downloads). A massive thanks to everyone who has read it and especially to anyone who has taken the time to leave a review. I'm really looking forward to getting Construct A Couple out soon.

And yay! I have a cover and blurb for my next novel, The Pollyanna Plan, due out in the autumn.

Thirty-something Emma Beckett has always looked down on 'the glass is half full' optimists, believing it's better to be realistic than delusional. But when she loses her high-powered job and fiancé in the same week, even Emma has difficulty keeping calm and carrying on.

With her world spinning out of control and bolstered by a challenge from her best friend, Emma makes a radical decision. For the next year, she'll behave like Pollyanna: attempting to always see the upside, no matter how dire the situation.

Can adopting a positive attitude give Emma the courage to build a new life, or is finding the good in everything a very bad idea?

You can add it to your Goodreads here.

And hmm, I think that's about it for my news!

What's new with you? Good weekend? Nice week ahead? Spill!
