My first creative festival and what an experience!

I’m feeling out of my depth and glad Alan, my husband, is here to… we’ll basically do it for me. That is buying the merch. Pens, key rings, book marks, mugs, tea bags and chocolate bars.

Torn between editing my second book or cleaning the house…hmmm didn’t take long to get out of both things, I’ve decided to write a blog instead.

When I decided to write a story, I knew the style I was going for. I love books written by Janet Evanovich, her heroine is sassy, brave but clumsy and impetuous, that’s how I wanted Stephanie Rhodes to be. Try reading “One for the Money.” In some of Evanovich’s books, she writes about a woman who goes home to have Sunday dinner with her crazy family, and the reason why I think I connected with that was because it reminded me of my family in some way.

At odd moments, I find myself in Stephanie Rhode’s shoes. I never understood, before I took up writing, how much it takes over your mind. When Stephanie is feeling depressed, so am I, when she’s feeling excited, so am I, and when she’s feeling romantic…well say no more!

Those who know me are probably surprised that I have written a book. Not only have I written a book, but I’m in the middle of editing my second book. Why am I doing it? Why have I not told anyone?
