Happy September

 

Happy September. 

Here in New Zealand, September heralds Spring. Some like the longer days. I don’t mind them once the summer gardening bug hits – lettuce and tomatoes on tap, about the only things I can grow, really. Last year I managed one cucumber from several cucumber plants. Not to worry!

Last month, August, was a pretty good month, really. It turned out to be quite productive in patches, with quite a few words written. I was pretty happy about that. I got back into my fitness regime after a two week bout with a virus, fitness being walking which in Auckland, a volcanic plateau, means plenty of hills. I must be getting fit, since I have kept this four day a week walking thing up since I began it last December. (It doesnt feel like it, though!)


A nice road for walking

I read some good books which I’ll blog about in due course.

Plans for September? To continue with my writing, and hope some of my favourite teams make it the NRL grand final, ie the rugby league competition in Australia. 

Onward and upward!

Two new books coming soon

It's been a while since I posted but I've been busy. I've been working on two new books. Shock! One is the next book in the Dating Daisy series, and also the next book in the Clearlake County series. 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 café, 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...
