Well, hello. I didn't mean to go AWOL for quite so long. I'll get to my reasons in just a minute, but first things first, it's high time to announce the winners of my blog tour giveaway. Roll those drums...
The winners are:
Vanessa Morgan who wins an e-copy of A Change of Mind and Other Stories
T.B. Markinson who wins a £10 Amazon gift card
Congrats, guys! I'll be in touch shortly about how to redeem your prizes.
I thoroughly enjoyed my first blog tour and felt quite humbled by everyone's thoughts and comments. In addition to my lovely tour hosts, my book has also seen features on Mina Burrows' and Medeia Sharif's blogs and I'm very grateful to have had some great reviews.
The big news, we've moved house... which is huge news, as we had never been settled at our previous address where we had been for 1.5 years. This feels so much more relaxed and peaceful. Now, with the move out of the way, I will be buckling down and getting on with Part 3 of my trilogy, which was my big plan for this year. It's July, so um... slightly overdue, but I'm still hopeful of getting a first draft done before the year is out. I'm also aiming for more regular blog posts and to get back to Write 1 Sub 1.
Hope everyone's having a good summer! Ours is wet, but we're enjoying whatever splashes of sunshine come our way.
Hello and good to have you back, great to hear your tour went well. Congrats on the house move, and all the best with the part 3 of your trilogy. Greetings!

Moving is a humongous pain in the backside, but it's good when you feel like you can finally settle in somewhere. Enjoy your new home!
