The Case of the Ginger Cat

Amused & confused LOL. I've been trying to write the novel about the 3 gold torcs, set here where I live, for a while now. Got loads of notes and background and research but could never really get "the off"! It happened last night, I just took off and got 2.5K words into the laptop just like that, then more again this morning.

It's very different to how I had thought it would be! For a start, I'd imagined it being a teen-novel. It's not. It definitely wants to stay in my mystery/romance/magic vein. I don't mind, I'm just surprised. And ... so far ... I'm writing it in the first person. And from the male POV! Not done that before.

I'm enjoying it, and it is different, as I said *g*. It throws you right in at the deep end with a shapeshifter doing his shift in the first 10 lines! He's the hero ... and very sexy as well as nice and magic and all that crap.

She's fun too. It's her learning curve we follow in the mainstream but, of course, he has lots of learning to do too. as does the secondary hero who has rather a shock when he wakes out of 1500 yr sleep into the 21st cetury! Poor lad! And he seems to be a tramp in this century/incarnation but ... well, no spoilers, all will be revealed IDC.

Will keep posting about how the story goes. In the meantime, hope you're enjoying Moon Song. As I said the other day, Moon Song is out now and available at

The Moon's Song

Woo-Hoo !!!

I've done it !!! I've got to the end, and I quite like the end too :-). It was exhausting, I really groaned as I finished the last words. and it still surprised me right up to the end !!! This story certainly knows its own mind and what it wants.

Of course, there's loads of editing and I'm beginning the first read-through this afternoon. Then my editior has to get her teeth into it and send it back covered in red-line *g*.

I'm going to try to get it fit for publication for the Midwinter feast but will keep you all posted.

The Moon's Song

Very nearly there, on the home stretch with The Moon's Song. I've put a taster up here for you to enjoy :-). It's certainly been an eye-opener for me, the story's taken me places I didn't know it wanted to go when I began. I've thoroughly enjoyed writing it ... and learned a bit myself too *g* ... so I hope you do as well. Let me know ...

Here's the taster ... Books
