I have so many ideas for blogs I’d like to write, but for now, this bad boy cookie is all that I could think of. It teased me. Mocked my sweet tooth. It mocked my willpower. My fault, I put it smack bang beside my keyboard. So I ate it. In fact I ate three.
For now dear readers I shall update you on my writing progress.
“Normal Service Will Resume”, a gift book for new mums, is currently being formatted. Inspired by my eldest daughter after having her little girl (my absolute weakness), I noted how much pressure women are under these days to look like the mumfluencers who make it look so easy to have a baby and maintain your sanity and feminity. A short, quirky look at the reality was written.; a pocketful of reminders of how life with a brand new human being really is, in this crazy world of reality versus filters.
I have decided to publish “Must Have Sense Of Humour” in the autumn. It’s been a fun book to write and I have been akin to a child on a sugar rush with no boundaries. It’s relatable women’s fiction with the appeal of romantic comedy…except this is about women who reach the age of changes, transitioning from womanhood to queenager. Menopausal and on a mission to garner their former selves, except with experiences from the university of life to give them the confidence to revive their former selves. Amy, the protagonist is at the centre of this mission and her friends are dragging her into the 21st century dating scene. I genuinely can’t wait to unleash Amy and her friends into the world.
In the meantime I am penning another romcom, this time based on the Greek islands of Hydra and Spetses. A grumpy and sunshine story. A hard headed, Elvis loving woman versus a businessman who’s not used to being kept on his toes. Watch this space.
Oh, and I’ve set up a Linktree account and a landing page for subscribers to my newsletters. I’m no techie, and it’s because of my fear of all the stuff that goes with building these things that writers need to keep readers in the loop, and marketing, that has prevented me from doing anything until now. So, I’ve put on my big girl’s knickers and bitten the bullet. Watch this space.
