This is the book that came out on 17th Jan, but unfortunately I had computer problems and I was unable to access this site. The title was one thought up by my editor, Kate and initially I didn't like it at all, but my writer friends did and then I began to see it in a different light altogether. It is in fact a very good title for if Lucy and Clive had been the only girl and boy in the world they wouldn't have been ripped apart by duty and class. But then of course I wouldn't have a story at all.
To help promote this book I was due to give four talks at libraries in Birmingham towards the end of January, but the weather had different ideas and the quite extensive snow they had there made this impossible, but it was deferred rather than cancelled and will now take place on Thursday 14th Feb- just how romantic is that? when I will be at a library in Ward End at 10.30 am and Hall Green at 2.00 pm and then on Friday 15th I am at Yardley Wood at 10.30 in the morning and Frankley Library at 2.00 pm.
In the meantime I have had a short story printed in My Weekly out last week called "We'll Meet Again" and an article in People's Friend and they are printing the story I wrote for them this week called, "She Couldn't Help It." It was a new venture for me writing short stories and I found it very interesting but a little limiting and though i wouldn't mind writing one or two more. I think I'll stick to writing novels.
