My Book

Read an extract
In today's world we want everything in a quick and compact form, and today's reader is no different. Seven Days consists of easily accessible yet powerful snapshots of life from seven very different angles. A unique cross between the novel and the short story, seven intriguing authors each delve into the consciousness of a character depicted on a single day.

This month I won the non-fiction competition for my story about My Paranormal Experience. I got 19.3 out of 20 for it. Four out of five of the judges gave me 20/20 for this piece. Needless to say I’m rather pleased. I’m going for the fiction competition for June, and maybe the poetry one as well. My aim is to get a banner from each category and then I’ll stop entering to give others a chance, lol. I’m not greedy. Besides, there are bound to be some new competitions soon and I’ll be entering those.

I'm so chuffed (eh, that means 'pleased' to my friends outside of the UK). I just found out that I won a WritersBeat comp! It was the Limerick one, this was my entry:
The perils of online shopping

There was a young woman from Vickers,
Who ordered a new pair of Kickers.
She paid for a parcel
But regretted the hassle
When the box revealed three frilly knickers.
Short and sweet, like me. haha.

I'm adding some more stuff to my profile so I can enter the Profile Contest. I've been off work for the last week, hacking my guts up after catching a cold while I was in London for my book launch, and then developing a chest infection as a result.

Feeling rather crapola. But hey, that won’t stop me from logging onto my favourite writing site.

Not really sure what to write here as I already have another blog going on at MySpace, but what they hey! I’m very busy at the moment trying to market my book which is due out on Feb 3rd 2007.

Seven Days


It’s exciting with the build-up. There’s a pre-launch event on the 1st Feb, with me doing a reading. I heard last night that I’ll be doing a book signing evening here in Cardiff, which will also involve a reading and champagne. Oh dear, must remember to read first before drinking. I’m doing a lot of networking with other writers and trying to continue with the book I’m currently writing. I’ve also got my publisher interested in some of my novels (I have four unpublished sitting in a drawer), so hoping to talk to them about that after the launch of Seven Days.

Phew, busy times!
