This weekly round-up is becoming a fortnightly one. Last
week was a bank holiday over here so I had a rest. I hope everyone had a lovely
Easter and ate as many eggs as you wanted.
I have written some words over the last two weeks – not my
target of 5000 a week but around 6-7000. I’m not sure exactly. My WIP is at 84K
with a lot more of the story to write. I may have to split it then write a
third. I’m not sure yet. I’ve also been collecting ideas for a Christmas story,
though I need to get on with it. This will be a May/September story. I’ve also
been buy writing blog posts for the releases of next two books. More below.
On the reading front, I’ve read a few books. Trapped by Ruby Moore continues my love
for historical romances. I’ve developed a passion for them and wish I could
write one. I’ve re-read Widdeshins by
Jordan L Hawk. I love this series. Current read and nearly finished is Starting from Scratch by Jay Northcote
and next up is NR Walker’s sneaky crossover Red
Dirt Heart Imago.
The Supernatural
rewatch continues with the completion of season 4. I love this one with the
introduction of the angels and Ruby’s machinations. All those long looks and
Misha Collins’s non-blinking with those beautiful blue eyes.
Current watch is Fargo Season 1 which is as dark and
quirky as the film. Sometimes, I think I’m supposed to like the bad guy and at
other times not. I really have no idea how the people of Minnesota live with
all that snow. Supernatural season 5
will be next up. We’ve also watched Fantastic
Beasts and Rogue One and enjoyed
both. Star Trek Beyond will be next.
It’s tough being behind everyone else because I can’t get to the cinema.
This week again I’m hoping to get some words done, get
over the last story plot point, and decide how far to go with the end to see if
there is another book in this. I’ve blog posts to write for both books. While You See a Chance, my older MC
story set in my home area is on
general release on 1st May. There
will be a release blitz and a Q&A held by Manifold Press the week after. My Highland Cowboy is up for pre-order
from tomorrow with Pride Publishing.
In this story, Duncan owns a ranch where
you can go on round-ups or learn cowboy skills, but this ranch is in the Highlands
of Scotland. Into his life walks the challenging Drew who turns his
expectations upside down.
That’s it for me. As well as the writing, I’m busy do
some family history research for myself and another person. It’s always fun
finding out about people, and you never know when you’re going to get an idea
for a story.
Have a good week everyone.
