Mischief in March…
Make of that title what you will!
So since the last blog, I’ve had my birthday. That’s right, recently I turned 35… even more recently I turned 39, but that’s another story.
Despite the title of this particular blog, I’ve had a solid couple of weeks. I’ve managed to get my teeth fully into the job, and I’m enjoying cooking again. I’m cracking on with a couple of ARC reads from to legends of my scene, Donna and Helen. Warzone Wamblings has come back with force… due to Shane actually rejoining us! I managed to dance with the devil for a brief period, and it didn’t cost me any hate. I’ve also got a date for my charity event in June, which I’ll be setting up a page for in the next couple of days. So yeah, it’s been good! But as an author, you probably want to know how book 4 has progressed…
Let’s just say I have my ‘oh shit’ moment now. It’s going to make a lot of people sick, and I’ll probably get some hate from different demographics… but hey, it’s fiction… if it offends you, feel free to leave a complaint in the contact box on my ‘about me’ page. I’ve delayed my alpha and beta readers by an extra month, because I need to make sure I nail this correctly… let’s just say… something rogue is coming for Penbrook!
It’s very different writing at home now, because it’s not my space. It’s just a case of getting used to it really. I’ve become a nighttime babysitter for Billy, as I have to take him out when he wakes up at 9. His cage is in the living room, and when he chews, it’s too loud for mum and dad.
Skyler… she’s still an angel. We have our daily ritual when I get home from work, although she’s grumpy that the fireplace isn’t on anymore!
But, I’m lucky to have a supportive family, and I know Skyler will be missed when I get my own place later in the year.
As we move into spring, the dark finally fucks off and is silenced, and I’ll leave you with this quote:

Thank you for reading, love you all.
