New beginnings

Surfing with the family at Gwithian beach
Well, that’s it. Summer’s over and autumn beckons. We’ve just got back from our annual September holiday in Cornwall which we spend with our daughter and this year, her boyfriend. Ever since she’s been at university, we’ve set aside this week to have some quality time together before autumn begins and she has to start a new term.
Normally, I’m pretty grumpy when we have to come home but this time, things are different because I have the excitement of the launch of Miranda’s Mount to look forward to in just two weeks time!
(It still hasn’t appeared on Amazon so I can’t give you a buy link and I’ll admit I’m getting a bit twitchy but it is on this site, for just £2.09 so if you want to preorder from there, go for it!)
I’ve written some posts for the blog tour, with lots of tips on writing romance, and insights into the characters and dramatic setting of Miranda’s Mount. I’ll be announcing the tour dates next week.
The book is set on an island castle in Cornwall and we actually passed the real thing, St Michael’s Mount, on one of our trips to Land’s End. When I saw THIS wonderful painting in a gallery in St Ives, I had to have it.
While I was in St Ives, I also dropped into a talk by Liz Fenwick at the St Ives September festival and had coffee with Liz afterwards, overlooking the harbour.
With Liz Fenwick at her talk about The Cornish House in St Ives.
Hopefully, I’ll be back very soon with the Amazon link to the book and watch out for plans for the launch party here starting October 4th.
