Hi
A bout of ill health has slowed my writing recently, but sometimes it's slowed down by the persistent attention of a furry friend. Iris loves company, and loves being wherever I am in the house. If I am sitting at the computer, she is often close by... like sleeping on top of my notes.
She doesn't make writing easy, but I don't think she cares about that. Not surprisingly, cats sometimes feature in my stories. Wild Destiny has Monty, Escape to Sandy Bay has Tiger, and Skyscrapers (yet to be published) has Ginger Puss.
Perhaps you have a similar companion who insists on being your shadow?
regards
Emily

Escape to Sandy Bay
There is another fortnight to run before Escape to Sandy Bay, Book 1 in the Sandy Bay Series is released. It is currently available at the pre-order price of US$0.99. Subsequent orders will be at US$3.99.
As a successful lawyer, Alyssa’s life is on an upward trajectory. A shock betrayal sees her carefully curated future collapse around her and sends her running to her childhood haven of Sandy Bay. She doesn’t expect to become embroiled in a local community crisis, nor with the man she thinks is driving it.
Single Dad Max cares for son Jeremy, while establishing his environmental consultancy. She stirs the emotions in ways he didn’t expect, but when he believes she has neglected his son, he is quick to lash out.
They each have to address conflicts associated with their pasts, and as Christmas approaches, either one or both could be celebrating alone.

Follow Your Heart
Book 3 in the Red Centre Series. If you have read the prequel to the series, Journey to the Heart, you will have been introduced to the reticent character of Melissa Gilbert. People in the town of Alice Springs are not sure what to make of her, and with good reason. Her behavior in The Red Heart is less than admirable. Follow Your Heart became a journey of discovery as we learned a little about her early life, and the issues impacting the choices she makes..
Melissa was furious… he’d ruined everything.
Her carefully setup scenario collapsed faster than the horse which threw her and Chris was to blame.
Preferring life through the lens of her camera, Melissa keeps reality at bay. Trust and commitment are not concepts she embraces. It was a surprise when Chris found a place in her life, and perhaps her heart.
It’s a case of yen and yang attract, luring them both out of their comfort zone, but how much should one person tolerate? Some people know when to cut their losses.
In a journey taking Melissa from a remote Australian station, to the high fashion world of Sydney and beyond, she comes to realize there are choices to make in who she lets into her life, and who she loves.

The Devil Inside: Luc
by Savannah Blaize
What happens when the Devil no longer wishes to serve?
Luc Nightingale was Satan himself, the ultimate punisher, the ruler of Hell. It was a role he had relished for millennia. Yet lately the job no longer fulfilled him. He was feeling restless. He wanted meaning in his life. He wanted to enjoy his days; take pleasure from the things most humans took for granted.
If he could step away from the Throne bestowed upon him for a short time, could he work out what would make him happy, what would fulfill him in ways that enforcing eternal punishment on damned souls could not? The thought excited him. Yet how could he leave the gates of Hell unattended for eternity?
Maybe some time on Earth would give him the answer he was searching for…
The Devil Inside is the prequel to the Heart of the Devil series.
