Out in the New Year

Revision times 

My current project should be out in late October, if all goes well with the editing.
After this work, my next project is planned to be a revision of my award winning book, as this will require a lot of work, I am not expecting to finish until late January.
The main reason for the gap is this book is unfinished; the first part is the section which earned the award in 2012, I later added two parts with the choice of a romantic ending.
Also, this is a hard time of the year for me, financially, being a pensioner my money is limited and with birthdays, and Christmas running into each other until March I won't have anything to put aside for publicity.


The inspiration for the story came while I was watching Lorraine Kelly at a friend's, she was complaining about having sand in her shoes, and I thought, "What a bitch, nobody thinks of the camera crew."
I used to be a photographer, so I know all about how badly they get treated. Mark Johnson, the lead character is as close to me putting myself in a story as I have got. Many of the traits he has are the same as mine.

The error of my ways

Other than sabotage by a person who despised the knowledge I am a better writer than she was. One reason for my non-sales of my eBook selection could be that I put too many extracts online, in an attempt to boost my blog profile.
Instead of chunks of stories, this time, I will give the reader a small sample to tease you.
The inspiration for the first part of my current WIP came from my interest in Israel. 
The second part, came from an idea which began with the end of part 1. Part 1 ended on a row between the lovers, I thought, what would happen if Anna was to have her adventures?
From this, the second part emerged, if there are sales a series of stories could be explored.
