Merry Christmas that was.

Merry Christmas / Mere Kirihimete

Ah Christmas.
My most favourite time of the year.
What a nice one it was.
The meal eaten, a game of Seinfeld Clue played, DVDs enjoyed (The Railway Children, and A Christmas Carol), and The Santa Clause on TV at night. And a smattering of presents with the all important Liquorice Allsorts under the tree, thank you lads!
The weather was wet and cold, which is neat when you cook a traditional  roast dinner in summer. The pavlova was amazing, as well. I have finally mastered them.
The Santa bears will stay put until twelfth night but before then, there's New Year. It will be quiet, too, just the way I like it. A great time to plan out my 2019 writing year.
I hope your Christmas was peaceful, too.
Only 51 weeks to go until the next one...

Two new books!! I can hardly believe it myself, and I am enjoying them both. I'll reveal the cover for the new Daisy book soon!! In the meantime, well and truly into winter here in New Zealand. Even now, I'm got super warm socks on, and a scarf. If the nights are freezing, its out with the hot water bottle. And how good is a hot drink on a cold day? Life's simple pleasures.

Excerpt for Captivating Kelly

Finally, we settled on a title. There was Kissing Kelly because the three books prior are Dating Daisy, Promising Penny and Marrying Michelle , but I'm not a fan of 'kissing' in the titles all that much. Captivating really seemed to suit so it might not be KK, and is CK instead but there it is. Captivating Kelly .  Read on for a sneak peak at the prologue. PROLOGUE  (draft) KELLY BROWN SUCKED in a deep breath as she walked down the corridor towards the staff cafĂ©, nerves attacking her with each step, and along with them, regret. The nerves because she didn’t know what awaited her. It would be small. That she knew. She’d asked for small. A cake would be nice, but that would be enough. She tended to avoid her own hype. The regret because all this might have been avoided. Might have been something she could have nipped in the bud, although she couldn’t even be sure of that. But whatever it was, it was, plainly and simply, sad. She felt sad. It took an effort at times not to lo...
