I'm back from my galavanting around. I was in New Zealand in February. Unfortunately, no Hobbiton for me as it was booked all February. Rumour has it that they were filming. However, I still managed to have fun!
Then after two weeks at the day job, I was off around the countryside. We had a fab experience at the Wildlife Treat at Taronga zoo. It's pricey but well worth it if you want to get up close with Australian animals when you visit Sydney.
And now I'm excited to be home and to climb over the mountain of my to do list.
With all the world upset going on, it's time to dive into your favourite book and escape into your imagination.
Writing progress has been slow (to own the truth non-existent lately) but that's about to change. I really need to get the draft of Gentelman Magician completed. It is all there in my head. Gentleman Magician is a prequel type of thing for Ruby Heart, Cry Havoc series. It takes off just after Edward sends Jemima to school in Chapter One and follows him on his journey to become a magician and covers how he met Fulton.
Around Christmas, I published The Prudential Light. I'm not sure what readers think of it as not much by way of reviews yet. An author really likes feedback by the way. It's a lonely job.
Blurb for The Prudential Light
A book of manners, magic and mayhem
Aunt Prudence Wainwright, famously daunting dragon lady of the Hardcastle family, has set herself to writing her memoirs. But which Prudence will have her story come out?
Will it be the maiden aunt who lived quietly in a small village, bringing up her niece Milly and sewing and embroidering to her heart’s content? Maybe it will be the outrageously-dressed, old busybody whose battle of wills with her niece, Jemima, unfolded in Ruby Heart? Better yet, the doughty old warrior hidden under the lace and brocade, who fought off villains with her hatpins and umbrella in Emerald Fire? Perhaps it will be the family matriarch featured in Amber Rose, prim, dependable, astute at procuring baked goods and deft at baby wrangling, who is at times a tad flirtatious with the older gentry? Or will these memoirs reveal yet another side of Prudence that the rest of the Hardcastles have yet to see?
With the family’s magical gifts running through her veins, there will be plenty to astonish her relations: adventures, abandonment, heartbreak, secret loves, and dangers. But with new babies on the scene, marriage proposals, battles with rogue magicians, and the very past she is recalling bursting back into her life in startling ways, how will she ever find the time to finish writing!
