Chuffed to see my winning short story published in The Needingworth Villager... 😁

Delighted to have won my writing group's short story competition for the second year!! The Needingworth Scribblers Snowdrop Cup! 😀

Fantastic read if you like cosy crime!! Great premise, quirky heroine and a twisty plot!! 😍🤩

Hoping your writing dreams come true!! 😀

Happy Christmas to you too! 🎄

Yes I had 2 pages! Feedback gold!! 😊

It arrived... 😭 Bit gutted - however - the rejection was the nicest I've ever had...

- there is no doubt you are a talented historical romance writer...

I'll take that, thank you. 💖
Made my afternoon!!! 😊😁

Writing is taking a back seat at the moment... this is one job ticked off my 4 page list!! Christmas tree is decorated only 3 more pages to go...!! 😊 Is it too early to say Happy Christmas!! 😀

Synopsis rewritten...again!! Only took 5 hours this time!! 🙄🤪

Lovely evening in Cambridge Botanical Gardens seeing the light displays. 😀

Colonel Brandon for me... but that might be because he was played by the late great Alan Rickman!! 🤔😊

Finished my short story yesterday...
Today I've been revisiting an old favourite and wondering whether to put it in the query trenches again after I've done another edit... love this novel and it deserves to be taken out of the drawer!!

No snow here... but then we miss all the weather on the edge of the Cambridgeshire fens!!

I spent ages doing @ and names of people... there must be a better way!! 🤔😅

It is on my tbr pile... 😁

Was so excited to see my short story in The People's Friend Special Autumn edition in September... 😀

I put together and co-edit my writing group short story anthologies... we are doing a mixed one next year with poetry and short stories... it's helping build my confidence to take the plunge and perhaps do the same with my own novels... 🤔😊

Just got back from visiting my Dad in Scarborough and luckily missed all the snow! 🤔😁
