Viewpoint: publication day memories of another March 21…
21 Wednesday Mar 2018
Posted in Viewpoint
March 21 should have been my eldest daughter’s 34th birthday.
It isn’t because – typically – she turned up eight days late at 8.20pm on March 29 after an emergency Caesarean section.
It was also the first time one of the early James Bond movies was screened on terrestrial television in the UK.
The anaesthetist made no secret about his disappointment at missing the start of the film. Continue reading

My eldest daughter was supposed to arrive on March 21 – she didn’t, she was eight days late – so fingers crossed my new baby, also due to put in an appearance on March 21, arrives on time.
Yes, A Forsaken Friend, my second novel with my co-author, Susan Pape, is published tomorrow.
Our blog tour, organised by Anne Cater, of Random Things Tours, is well underway and we’ve already had some fabulous reviews from Being Anne, Kraftireader, and Rambles, Writing and Amusing Musings.
The tour runs until March 28.
Finally, our publisher Lakewater Press post is celebrating with a special release price sale and a Yorkshire-themed giveaway.

Thankfully, after yesterday’s hair-raising encounter Teri has got her clothes back on but nothing is ever straightforward where she and best friend Lee are concerned.
Today’s exclusive extract from A Forsaken Friend, published by Lakerwater Press on March 21, sees the two meet-up over dinner in Teri’s favourite restaurant.
Only this time Teri’s taking the food orders – and she’s not happy to see Lee and her new beau getting their feet under the table.
Described as a warm, funny and entertaining read, full of twists and turn, A Forsaken Friend is more diva lit than chick lit it, and follows the lives of best friends Teri Meyer and Lee Harper as they navigate the ups-and-downs of their friendship whilst also juggling men, careers and family.
A Forsaken Friend is currently available to pre-order on Amazon for just 99p. And you can pick up a copy A Falling Friend, the first novel in our Friends trilogy, free on Amazon March 21-26.
Don’t forget to visit Lakewater Press here and see why Lee isn’t expecting much in the way of customer service.

Cover reveal: A Forsaken Friend and a make-over for A Falling Friend
16 Friday Feb 2018
Posted in Cover Reveal
It’s so hard to keep a secret when you’ve been dying to shout from the rooftops and beg everyone to admire the beautiful cover for your new book.
But, at long last, it’s cover reveal day and we can finally share the cover of our new novel A Forsaken Friend.
It’s the second in our Friends trilogy and the cover of the first one, A Falling Friend, has had a make-over too.
Early feedback from friends, who were given a sneak preview last weekend, has been very positive and we’re hoping both covers will go down a treat with readers too.
And, now, we’re gearing up for the publication of A Forsaken Friend, which will be published by Lakewater Press on March 21.
We pick up the story where A Falling Friend left off with best friends Teri Meyer and Lee Harper both facing changes.
As the book opens things can’t get much worse for Teri: she’s lost her job at the university, as well as the regular allowance from her dad’s factory, and now her ex-best friend has gone and stolen her ex-husband!
Teri decides to hell with them all and heads off into the Continue reading

It’s WWW Wednesday again: and this week’s reading didn’t go anything like the way I’d planned it.
That’ll teach me to get complacent about the TBR!
Last Wednesday it seemed my weekly read was down to manageable proportions – one book club read and a couple of books I’ve fancied reading for a while and then…
…a friendly message from a Facebook colleague with a reminder that I was a day late with a review for a book I’d agreed to review weeks ago. Continue reading
