Thank you to all of you who have bought the last two Janna Mysteries and who have been writing to me to tell me how much you’re enjoying them. I have absolutely loved writing the series and when I came to finish the last book I felt as if I was saying goodbye to close…
It’s amazing how the universe conspires to help you, to send you the right person, or book (or both) just when you most need them. I recently wrote a piece on my experience of publishing with createspace for Newswrite, published by the NSW Writers Centre. As a result, the very kind and generous Serene Conneeley…
Sales of paperback versions of Sage for Sanctuary and Thyme for Trust are going really well; e-books are still an unknown as they’ve only just come on line. But I wanted to thank you all so much for supporting me in my publishing venture by buying my books. And of course I’m really interested to…
Yes! Another hurdle conquered! I was told downloading the (prepared) text from CreateSpace to convert the books to e-books to be read on a kindle (or a kindle app on an i-pad) was ‘difficult’. Very off-putting! In fact, once I’d conquered the fear factor it turned out to be surprisingly easy. So Thyme for Trust…
I’m learning so many new things going the publishing route through CreateSpace. The latest is to create a VBT (video book trailer) which will be used to promote the Janna Mysteries. I’ve sent them info about the series and a proposed script, and I’ve just received THEIR proposed script (which is terrific) along with their…
It’s wonderful that my blog readers are so much more on the ball than I am! Thanks for alerting me to the fact that Book 6 of the Jannas is now out on amazon as well as Sage for Sanctuary. Woo hoo!! I really hope you enjoy reading what happens next, and I’ll be most…
What a day! I’ve just heard that Book 5 of The Janna Mysteries, Sage for Sanctuary, has now been released (as a paperback) through amazon.com. While publishing through createspace, I had asked that the two books only be released through amazon in Sept/Oct, after the first four have come out, but it looks like they’ve…
IN answer to a question just in from one of the students I spoke to at Manly West about why I set Ghost Boy at the Quarantine Station: I wanted to write about ghosts and about knowledge travelling through time – but first I had to find my ghost! When I read about the smallpox…
… so what a good time to catch up on my blog! It’s been a busy week, so it’s nice to have time to curl up in the warm with a good book – I’m actually reading Wilkie Collins’ Woman in White at the moment – a book I’d often heard of but had never…
We’ve recently been overseas for six wonderful weeks – did some research in England for my new book and went on a river cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam, which I absolutely loved. My favourite stopping place was Durnstein, a small medieval town with a ruined castle above, and quite a stiff climb to get there.…
