It was soooo exciting to see “In Too Deep” hit the number 1 spot in Crime and Fiction recently. The following week, “Under Your Skin” hit the Number 1 spot in Psychological Fiction, Crime Fiction and the entire Kindle store!

Today I am celebrating 3 years of business!
When I first started out, I remember thinking, “Let’s see if I can get to the one-month mark.”
Now here we are, 3 years later.
I have kept it one month at a time, one day at a time, one hour at a time.
I’m so grateful

This is the story of the little black cat who turned up on my windowsill

It seems to have gone by in the blink of an eye.
Here are some lessons I’ve learned along the way:
– It’s okay to say NO.
– It’s important to create space for self-care and relaxation.
-I’ve worked harder than I’ve ever worked in my life, and yet I don’t notice the time going in.

I’m so grateful for all my wonderful clients, past and present.
I have learned so much during the past two years. Although stressful at times, it’s a joy to work from home; doing what I love whilst listening to podcasts with the cats relaxing next to me.

I’d had the privilege of editing other people’s books, whilst releasing my sixth novel.

What a special day yesterday! I was so proud to attend Thomas Wyatt’s book launch.
As editor of his book, “The Angels’ Advocate”, it was an absolute honour to attend his launch, interview him and read one of his chapters.
Thomas has been an absolute joy to work with from start to finish. A beautiful person, inside and out.

There’s a wonderful quote by Gayle Forman that goes:-
 
“We are born in one day,
We die in one day,
We can change in one day,
We can fall in love in one day.
Anything can happen in just one day.”
 

 
This is the story of how I got my hearing back in just one day.

I was ten years old when I discovered I was deaf in one ear.
 
You would think it would be easy to discover deafness; perhaps playing Chinese Whispers with siblings and realizing I was rubbish at it. I suppose I was too young for a guy to whisper sweet nothings and not appreciate his compliments.

“Ambulance service, is the patient breathing?” 
“Yes, she’s breathing.”  
My sister was standing next to me. She was on her mobile phone making the 999 call. I was lying on the floor, my head on a pillow.
 
“Yes, she’s awake.”
“It’s my sister.”
 
By listening to her answers, I could work out what the questions were.
