This week, the pressure has been off since I submitted The Toffee Factory Girls (book one of three!) to my publisher. I've enjoyed the long, Easter weekend and have even written a short story which I've submitted to a magazine. Keep your fingers crossed for me.
Received a nice surprise this week from Fantastic Fiction website who include me in their Top 20 most popular saga authors! See fantasticfiction.com/genres/?gp=A
I had a celebrity endorsement this week. This is from Dave Stewart of The Eurythmics in response to a post on Facebook about my upcoming novel The Sixpenny Orphan. Dave hails from Sunderland, hence his interest in my books.
Elswhere this week, I attended the monthly meeting of Ryhope Heritage Society. Ryhope is the village where my historical sagas are set and where I was born and bred. This month they showed an amazing fim called “Ryhope Our Mining Village”. The meetings are held on the second Tuesday of each month. All welcome. Cost is £2 per person. No need to book, just turn up.
Treat yourself to The Miner's Lass. A gritty, dramatic saga that was inspired by three words on a 1919 map of old Ryhope... "The Blood Pit" where bare knuckle fighting took place. Just 99p during April at http://bit.ly/TheMinersLass
I crafted another episode of my weekly soap opera Riverside for The People's Friend magazine. I've been writing Riverside weekly since 2016 and you can find out all about it here.
