Exciting Times!

Whilst I have been consistently useless at writing blog posts (because I am easily distracted) life has been whirring quuetly away in the background.

Broken Oaths of Gods and Men has started to take shape and then been swiftly replaced with another idea I had called "To Touch, Divine" which came to me in a haze of Morphine and Tramadol (I suffer with severe spinal pain after being slammed by a drunk driver 2 years ago) it's weird... it's wild... it's.... weird.


Ive already written about six chapters before becoming sidetracked yet again and finding myself back working on Oaths. (It's my own personal merry go round)


I love having multiple books on the go. I find it gives me the freedom to always have something that im 'in the mood' for.


I won't tell you about some of my other ideas just yet. I want to see if they form into anything before I overcommit myself by saying them out loud!


But! Whilst all of this has been going on I've been trying to promote my debut book 'Some Girls Drown' this will always be my most important story. The book I wrote just for me (before bastardising it and sending it out into the world.) It's the story that was the hardest to write because it was me.


But somewhere along the way little Ayanna has taken on a mind of her own and is currently ranked in the top 100 of multiple categories on Amazon and I couldn't be more proud.


Countless nights typing with Evelyn asleep on my lap, Simon bringing me apple and cinnamon tea and hiding me to bed. It's all paying off.


I've lost so much money on this book, on promoting it and pushing it. But I don't mind. All I ever wanted for Ayanna was that she finally be heard. "Some Girls Drown" was never about making money or anything as crass as that (Whilst I say this, I absolutely would not turn down a few million!) But about finally finding my voice and screaming the words that had been locked inside me for so many years.


I've been blown away by the reception my story has received, especially (wierdly) in America... where I know literally three people

To everyone who has heard Ayannas voice; I thank you from the very bottom of my heart.
