New book

 All going well, the book will be out by the end of this month, It will be a stretch but I am hoping for that, with the second book out in December. They are two different series so I'm mixing them up, and I've loved writing both of the books. They will go to Amazon exclusively at this stage.

The cover for the first book is being tweaked but I hope to have that ready to share on the blog in a few days. There were a few options but I chose the picture of the couple, Julia and Nick, and worked around that. Cosy and classic, that's what the Maddie Summers books will be.

The Gabardi Memoir excerpt

Reading the series

 I've been reading the earlier Gabardi books just to make sure all the details are correct for the current book.  Things such as timelines, and character details and so on. It has been quite fun doing it, too, and I am inspired to get the Gabardi books and the Bluebell Road books into print. As for The Gabardi Memoir , it has been sent out and I am expecting it back shortly, and then the plan is to work on the last bit of the plan, which is the proofing for typos etc.  I am still looking at an early February release, even though February is only ONE WEEK AWAY!!

The end of the ham

Image
 I made a pea and ham soup yesterday and it was the most divine thing. We are big "ham for Boxing Day and beyond" people. It lasts for weeks. Weeks of sandwiches and if one is low carb-ish, ham and other things. So yummy. But it was at the end ie we'd eaten most of it, so I chucked it in a pot with onion, and split peas, stock and seasoning, parsley and a few random vegetables It was very yummy. We made bread in the breadmaker to go with it, a focaccia with olive oil and herbs Again, so yummy. And that is the end of the ham for another year.
