When things happen.....

Oh yes things happen and I suppose I could use an expletive word here but I won't.
My son with his love of games on the internet unitentionally downloaded a virus and as much as I can say that I have my computer back, I have lost EVERYTHING.
Thank goodness I had the brains to backup my work, however in saying that, the last three months I became complacent and all that I have done in that time is lot.

You don't realise how much you do til it is lost. I did a lot, a book that I had almost completed is now back to the drawing stage, I hang my head in shame that I did not backup. Out of all this I have learnt a very crucial point. BACKUP! BACKUP! BACKUP!

That was all I really wanted to say today, I must get back to writing to try and recoup what I have lost, perhaps it will be better than before. :)

Til next time

Happy Reading

What next?

Well it has been a while since I have posted much to my blog and while I would love to say that I have been too busy writing a novel it just isnt the case.


The past two weeks the kids have been on holidays and have dominated the computer or I have been donating my time to them, and the great part I love about what I do is that I can dedicate my time to them.
So what next, I have four projects going and I would love to dedicate my time to all of them but the reality is, is that I need to concentrate on one at a time, I'm not sure which one at the moment.

I am writing a new novel called advertisement for love and I am really in love with the characters they are really strong characters and I love playing with their situation.

I also have Becky which I have published as an e-book at the typesetters so that it can be made into a traditional book for all of you (including myself who love to hug a book). So I just got that back and I need to go through the manuscript and check for errors, any one who is in the business knows that this is time consuming, necessary but still time demanding.


I have another novel called Chance at love at the editors and I am waiting for that to come back, I love this book which is about the chance that we may have but let slip and then wonder about, I am looking forward to getting that out for you all to read.

And then of course there is the second book to the Crystal Hart series which I am still working on, polishing I suppose, there is a lot happening in this book with the characters and keeping up with them is a task, but funny and for those of you who loved Nan Hart she is back, full of life, (I find myself laughing at this).

So today I am torn between what project I am going to work on, as I said I want to work on them all, I think I might have a cup of coffee and ponder on it a while.

til next time
