The Twilight Zone

Hello, all!

Ever since submitting The No-Kids Club to my editor and publishing my Christmas novella last week, I've been in the Twilight Zone: that grey area where you're awaiting a huge chunk of work (in my case, edits and more edits) to fall into your lap, with no writing projects to occupy your time.

Not that I haven't been busy! I've been over at Deniz Bevan's blog, showcasing the South Bank, the location of my novella. And on Kate Lord Brown's blog, I list five of my favourite things.

These weren't on the list, but they should have been! Yummy yummy pancakes at Jamie Oliver's Recipease, our weekly breakfast locale.

Last Christmas, my novella, has been getting some lovely reviews, too. Just My Bucking Book, Handwritten Girl, Joo, and Book Geek Wears Pajamas have all had some nice things to say! Plus, there's a chance to win a copy over on Chicklit Club and Chick Lit Chloe.

Phew! I'm all linked out.

This weekend, I'm off to Bedford to be all romantic at the Festival of Romance. The Pollyanna Plan is up for an award (yay!). It's the third year I've been shortlisted, so keep your fingers crossed for me.

I'll be back next week with lots of pictures, I'm sure. Until then, have a great week!

  7. Such exciting stuff! Congrats on getting books and stories done and set! Hope the edits are relatively painless. Poke me with info on your Christmas story--you are my 3rd friend who has one coming out and it seems like a good Dec. 1st promo for all of you guys.

  13. Congratulations on the good reviews! Speaking as someone who bought two of your books, the good reviews come as no surprise. :) I don't like pancakes, but Jamie Oliver's version looks pretty good.

  16. Busy, busy busy, but in a good way. You don't know how lucky you are to have edits about to fall in your lap. I expect the Twilight Zone you're in is similiar to what we feel when finishing a novel. Before a new idea comes into our heads, it feels almost like a let down. Good luck in Bedford!

Im just happy for this assistance and thus expect you comprehend what a great job you have been providing instructing the rest using your web site. I know that you haven’t encountered any of us.
