Hello September

A new month to get stuff done.

Is this not true of every month? 

You can:

Cross out all the stuff you didn't get done and start again.

Open a new page in the journal.

Turn the page in the planner.

Revise a list, write it out again, and paste it over the old one.

Keep up the good work from the previous month.

Or just plod along and not be fussed about new starts and all that.

I, however, am partial to a list, even if I lose it. It simply means I get to write more lists.

This month I should start considering if I am going to contemplate thinking about planning anything in the garden weed patch for spring and summer. It is officially the first day of spring but we are still having wintery weather, oh, bless you cold weather. I love cold weather, but it has been a cold-er winter which means I will appreciate spring even more.

I will probably think about contemplating some weeding. We had some tree clearing last year, amazing, so there is a bit more space. That is something for later on in spring. 

Daylight saving comes in to being end of the month. Not usually a fan of daylight saving. I quite like the dark. But I concede it has its uses.

Plus I will publish Captivating Kelly and get stuck into my next Clearlake County. That is, all going well!

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.

Dating Daisy

 FREE BOOK ALERT Yep, this weekend and until Monday, I am running a free book promotion for Dating Daisy . Meet Joel and Daisy in this second chance, professor hero, third time's the charm, romantic comedy.  So, what's it about? Daisy's a bookseller who goes on a TV dating show to drum up business for her ailing store. Not to win or anything like that, heaven forbid! Just to get her store's name mentioned on national TV a few times, since her beloved book shop is only weeks away from going under and she is desperate to do anything to stop that happening. Joel is a history professor who owes his best mate, the show's host, Rob, one massive favour, and Rob is calling that favour in: Be a contestant on the inaugural celebrity episode of Mystery Date . Except Joel Benjamin is no celebrity, and he sure isn't looking for love, not to mention his career is on the up, and going on a show like Mystery Date is simply, well, simply frowned upon . It could do his career mor...

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...
