new Youtube clip

By the way, here is my new Youtube clip, this time with some text, after taking on board some feedback from fellow bloggers and writers. Have a look and see what you think,

Sadie's House:The Key youtube clip with text



A takeover!

Just to let you know, that for now at least, my son's posh, bow tie wearing Russian blue cat has taken over a blog attached to this one, so you may see posts from him from time to time. He is a bit of a snob, being quite noble and very handsome, so please don't take offence at his fude reference to peasants and commoners and the like. He calls us things like that all the time (well we think he does....!) Hopefully he will make a bit of fun reading.

A little experiement

I have been promoting and promoting, and writing and writing, and have found myself bemused to see that the sequel to The Key, which has always been Albie's Story, has now become The Secrets. It would seem that this is not uncommon, but the full title of the second book will now be Sadie's House; The Secrets, and followed by a third, Sadie's House; The Healing. I am hoping to be completed by Easter so I will let you know how that goes.
Meanwhile, my little experiment involved having a go at making a video, my first ever, so please forgive the quality. However, I am pretty pleased with the result, and I have posted it on Youtube.
Here's the link
Sadie's House;The Key video trailer so please take a look and even share.

I am also excited to say that I will be at a book signing event in Birmingham later in the year! I heard about something called "author swag" which is a new concept to me, but being a keen crafter, it was all I needed to set to and see what I could come up with. I'm not sure yet exactly what I will be doing with these, but they have been fun to make.


And one last thing for now - I have joined lots of writing groups and these have been really helpful in sharing ideas and asking and answering questions. I would recommend to any aspiring writer that you listen to the wisdom of those in the know, and share your own questions and anxieties. I have had some wonderful support from the people in these groups.
Continued good wishes and the best of luck to everyone trying to pave their way in bookland!
