Freebies

Once again you can download these two books for free on Amazon Kindle this Sunday, 2nd of February. Only for one day this time.
I'm hoping to add a third book to this list in the quite near future, another adventure for Lisa, Jody, Holly and Louisa. Watch this space.
These two books sell at a normal price of 99p (English pence, $1.52 in other places) and I am considering a reduction in the cost even so. Hopefully reading these will cause you to consider downloading the full-length novels also available in the two series.

Worlds apart

One of the people I follow on Twitter posted this picture. Quite valid, don't you think, happens to us all - except that I think the original intent was aimed at people who read books - rather than perhaps at people who write them. But I find it's even stronger for me as an author. I have two series of books, and so two worlds I 'live' in. One is Saskia's world, obviously, the other being that of Lisa, Holly, and Jody (now joined by Louisa, of course). I find I don't want to leave the worlds I've so painstakingly constructed. I suppose I'll have to one day, but for now the Saskias and Lisa and Co. still have a bit more to say.

What's ENG?

Something reminded me last evening about when I used to do sound recording on ENG (Electronic News Gathering for the curious - single camera stuff). We had a saying about what used to happen. We'd descend on someone's house, move all their furniture around to set up lights and stuff, use lots of their electricity, leave footprints all over their carpets, drink all their tea, eat all their biscuits, push them around unmercifully, and leave as suddenly as we'd arrived. And usually they thought it was all a wonderful adventure. Oh well, those were the days.

Tomorrow People?

Just been watching The Tomorrow People on E4. They are a group of people who can use the Three T's. Telepathy, Telekinesis, and Teleportation. Now, Lisa, Jody, and Holly - the Three Angels - have been doing that for ages. They have a couple of tricks these Tomorrow types obviously haven't figured out yet as well. The TV series is all fight and flight, in common with the current genre for such things, but the three Angels have much more in common with the original Tomorrow People, made for children's TV in the 1970's (1973 to be exact). Still means they zip about using their ESP abilities to save the world (well, bits of it at least). Don't suppose I'll ever see Lisa, Jody, and Holly on TV, but you never know.....
