Writing is only part-time. I have other stuff to do as well. Unfortunately, this 'other stuff' is what pays the wages, so as you can see, I have to set priorities. The 'other stuff' can also get in the way of things like this Blog - hence a certain paucity of entries recently. (Just so you know, 'paucity of entries' means I haven't done one for a while. See how I look after you? That's saved you a trip to Google.)
However, there are the odd few minutes here and there. Now that 'Charity' is out there (STILL not on ebooks.com!) I've decided to begin proof reading 'Chicago'. This is Saskia book five. The title probably tells you that the two Saskias visit Chicago at some point in the story. In one of those coincidences I seem to be surrounded with, the current location of the two Saskias in book eight - which is part way through - is in Vermont, on their way to - yes - Chicago.
I actually went to Chicago some years ago and found it to be a nice place to visit. Perhaps I'll go back one day although I doubt it. I've sent the Saskias on my behalf. So far Chicago seems to have survived - but there's still book eight!

Excuses, excuses
Been neglecting blog recently. Got an excuse, been working doing the day job. Two long outside broadcast jobs, both in fields with little or no internet access. Hundreds or thousands of spectators means mobile broadband is usually rubbish. Anyway, that's my excuse - and I'm sticking to it.
Long days means not much time for writing. Done a little bit of work on 'America', Saskia book eight, but currently open on the WP is a new short story for the Lisa website. Called 'One Of Our Tanks Is Missing', it's going to be another adventure for Lisa, Jody, and Holly - not forgetting Louisa, the Associate Angel.
Speaking of Louisa, her story on Kindle will be free to download on Sunday 14th July, as is 'Falling Buildings' in the Saskia series. www.amazon.com/dp/B00DAILFIA and www.amazon.com/dp/B00D7E9RTQ
Lisa's website has been changed slightly. Links to the short stories now appear on the home page. Saskia's website will probably be changed to be the same eventually, but there are rather more stories to deal with there.
The next thing is to proof read Saskia book 5, 'Chicago'. No great rush, 'Charity' isn't available everywhere yet, although KOBO has been sorted out by my publisher and now list all the books - including 'Lisa', which they missed out for some unknown reason. I think Andrews UK sent in the heavy mob.
