Hi there, ghost lovers!
Thank you so much for joining me!
I have a question for you. Do you know what a writer's fork is?
I just love palmistry, don't you?
Years ago I discovered that I was the proud owner of a writer's fork. Don't scoff, it is a real thing. You can find it at the end of the Head Line as it slopes down to the outer edge of the palm.
And the significance of this tiny little crease of skin on the palm of your hand?
It denotes the balance between realism and imagination - exactly what any self-respecting author should have.
And yes, I have it.
Does this mean I am a born liar? I mean, everything I write is a lie because the people in my books don't exist except in my head. They are very real to me.
(Have I just certified myself?)
I am a storyteller. And I aim to entertain my readers and keep them coming back for more.
Do you have a writer's fork? Are you writing? (Blogging and microblogging counts)
If not, open that blank page on your PC and just start writing. We all have a story in us.
But I have things to share with you - lovely authors worth checking out and group promos with lots of goodies for you to download. Don't be shy - if it's free, the authors want you to have it. Please remember to leave reviews - one sentence is enough - when and wherever you can.
Now, without further delay, here is what I have for you this week.
Morach's Ghost and A New Release
Today is release day for book 4 in the Moragh's Ghost series!
The title is Shattered Expectations.
Does that mean that Nicole finally sees the light? Can she be trusted to give up her plan to marry a married man only to reclaim the inheritance her father had cheated her out of?
Then the only fear she had of the success of her plan finally happens - Ned's patience with her runs out.
Shattered Expectations
It is inconceivable to Nicole to be a penniless orphan at the age of thirty-two. What is she to do now?
But her father was a hard taskmaster and he set her difficult challenges through her years of growing up – this final challenge is no different. Reclaiming her inheritance from Joshua is just one more challenge. She can do it and make her father proud.
Hadn’t her father taught her that good things came to those who worked hard for it?
Why can’t Ned understand what she has to do? It has nothing to do with him, not even with Joshua – this is for Willowgrove, what should rightfully belong to her. If Ned loves her as he claims, he will work with her. All he has to do is stand by her and not tell Joshua what she is doing to wreck his marriage – Ned promised.
But will Ned’s patience with her run out before her plans fail spectacularly?
Read this story from the beginning, starting with a marriage of convenience in book 1 and a jilted fiancee's reaction to it. Two more books, coming on 24th and 31st May respectively, will complete the series of the re-education of a spoilt brat. Take the journey with her.
Happy goosebumps!
