Newsletter seventy three

So we wake up to a “whump!” at 6am, to discover that a van had gone into the fence opposite (then drove off without so much as a note through their door). Yes, the predicted snow has arrived, so “snow day”declared and important things like making snowmen and baking bread have ensued.

News:

First review for Promises Made Under Fire, which is exciting seeing as it’s not out for another month. It’ll also be an audio title, of which more news when I have it.

Don’t forget you can get your e-books “Authorgraphed”.All mine should be listed at my books page, but if I’ve missed any, please shout and I’ll put it right.

Plans for UK meet are moving on apace. Registration is open, the programme is coming together and the first batch of attendees is booked and processed! We're delighted to say we'll be having author pitch sessions, probably on the Sunday morning. We're also looking to have one or two link up events with Sparkle who are in town that same weekend. The lovely Liam Livings (pin up boy of the 2012 Meet) has blogged about it - well worth reading.

Inspiration:

The garden of Cochrane Towers in the snow and our snowman, Cuthbert, who my Ros reckons is a little old gay man.

Cuthbert is a sweetie! I am very jealous. We have not a single flake of snow, though it's barely got above freezing for the last three days :(

It's actually got much less cold since the snow arrived. Maybe it's acting as some form of insulation. (But it was so bright last night - any bit of light reflected!)
