Happy New Year / Tuesday's Child

Well 2012 is officially here and I've had this cough all year. Ha ha. Actually the whole of yesterday was spent making really awful jokes.
"Mum I'm starving. Haven't eaten all year."
"Can I have a drink? Haven't drunk anything all year."

Writing wise. I've so many WIP's on the go right now, it's lucky I'm able to keep them straight. Think that comes from being able to read six books at once and not get confuzzled. There's the firefighter one - almost finished. The paranormal one - on a go slow. And a Christmas one. Yes I know, but the deadline for that is April, so needs doing.

I also filled in the manuscript info sheet for Tuesday's Child.
Preliminary blurb (cos we all know how rubbish I am at them lol)

Deaf from the age of five, Adeline Munroe now runs the local dolls hospital with her best friend Jasmine and constant companion, hearing dog, Ben. Haunted by visions, she 'sees' each murder either as or just before they happen.
Detective Sergeant Nate Holmes is investigating the herbalist serial killings. Things are complicated when he falls for one of the witnesses. As more women die, and Adeline becomes the prime target, is time running out for them both?

Honestly i find it amazing that I can write a 40-60k novel easily. Asked to summarize it in 700 words...just about. In 150 words - no way. And in a 60 word or one sentece tag line-- ummm nope.


My cast list for Tuesday's Child.
Jamie Bamber as Detective Sgt Nate Holmes. Trying to raise his orphaned niece and hold down a full time job in CID. He's investigating a spate of murders and when a psychic witness comes forward he's skeptical, but his faith keeps him open to other options.





Deanne Bray as Adeline Munroe. The deaf owner of the dolls hospital. Witness and the one person who can identify the serial killer.





Ben, her hearing dog, is a King Charles Cavalier spaniel. In not just for the cute factor - no kids we're not having a dog. Don't care how cute he is - but because dogs like him do a really important job.

OK so maybe i'm type casting, but at least I didn't use Yannick Bisson as the cop :P
Oh and in case you were wondering - yes. Nate's partner is played by Bradley Walsh. Guess I watch too many cop shows in my spare time.

A Stalker To Die For by Katy Eeten

  A Stalker to Die For by Katy Eeten I began writing this book at least ten years ago. But as often happens, I hit a writing roadblock and put the manuscript to the side. At the time, I wasn’t sure how to make the plot more intriguing or how to give the story a satisfying conclusion. Instead, I focused my efforts on writing five different contemporary Christian novels and novellas over the past several years. But something kept drawing me back to this storyline, so I knew I had to finish it. A Stalker to Die For was my first attempt at adding suspense into the mix—and it was easier said than done! But I finally completed it. And thanks to a great editor, this book guides readers through a variety of emotions while walking the line between romance, faith, and a suspenseful thrill or two. See for yourself! Trailer:   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8agLq6kpUY Amazon link:   https://www.amazon.com/Stalker-Die-Katy-Eeten-ebook/dp/B0GS7ND8LC/ Social Media Links: Facebook:...

Rhonda Parrish Interview

Today’s and tomorrow's guest is Rhonda Parrish, author of Sister Margaret. Today I'm putting her under the spotlight and interrogating her, uh asking her questions. Tomorrow I turn the blog over to her completely. Review of Sister Margaret. Sister Margaret is a short story about a vampire hunter and a half-incubus swordsman who are hired by a priestess to take care of an undead pimp. It’s written from the POV of Michael, who has never forgiven himself for abandoning his friend when they were younger. Determined to use this mission to put things right and make it up to her, Michael sets off, only to find things aren’t what they appeared to be. The book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. It was fast paced from the start and its twists and turns make for gripping reading. The descriptions meant I had vivid images in my mind throughout the book. At just over 4000 words, Rhonda wastes none of them, throwing you straight into the story and leaving you breathless at the en...
