Hello all. Sorry I've been AWOL, I haven't been very well. Far from me to be dramatic, but I was in hospital for six days with sepsis, which was awful. But I'm well on the mend now, touching wood as I type. Nice to be back.

It's probably obvious that I've been off this platform for a while (find me where the sky is... ) But look what riches I have found!

I'm still pinching myself too. What a thrill it was to work on this wonderful book with this wonderful author.
It’s all starting to feel real…my first novel is Finding Belle, published May 8th this year. The back cover is good too…Happy New Year to you all!
