What I did this week

Unlike the interesting newspaper utterances of George Bernard Shaw, below, I have nothing particularly interesting to report. It was not a productive week.

However...

I picked up a Len Deighton spy novel in a charity shop the other day for something different to read, set in East Germany when Checkpoint Charlie was there. I haven't read a spy novel in ages, I'm sure I have read one at some time, or maybe that's just watching old movies.

I went out one night after work with some work mates which is aways good fun. A can of diet coke is $4. Four bucks!!

I am liking the new Kiwi series of Taskmaster a lot.

Watched a bit of sport, the NRL, ie the rugby league. Exciting few weeks ahead. Or a day of depression if one's team loses. Fortunately, I have three favourite teams in the play offs.

I've been at work for a fair bit of the week.

And that is the week that was.

COVER REVEAL

Here is the cover for the upcoming book, STEALING STACEY'S HEART. I may tweak it a bit between now and the release date (scheduled for May 30) but I'll see. I'm very happy with it! I

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...
