Monday Musings...The nail biting, worrying, exciting build up amongst other things.

Okay, I am going on a bit. but its that or send my other half demented. I nudge him. (probably not a god idea when he's holding a cuppa but...) I say what if no one buys my book.
I mean to me it's the perfect companion to a coffee, and if you go for the eBook it costs less
But when I worry, he rolls his eyes (metaphorically.)

Says, 'why shouldn't they? But if they don't, then they don't.'

Argh. 

 I'm wound up enough as it is.

This writing lark is so not as easy as lots of people think. If I had a pound for every time I got the ohh I'd write a book if I had the time etc... Well...

But this blog isn't about that. It's about the squirrel on the bird nuts. A baby one who got scared by a blue tit.

About the lambs in the field yesterday who were trying to get out and herded back by their mum.

About the fact I'm now getting back into my routine after the most fantastic holiday in Barbados where I wrote sitting outside, watching the monkeys with a tiny baby walk along the boundary wall.

About the fact it was amazing, and I actually wrote for two hours every morning before anyone else got up.



And we went for long(ish) walks in the sun.

Lots of sunscreen. And a welcome drink after. Nothing beats a glass of sparking water with ice and lemon to refresh you. Well, maybe a gin and tonic or a mojito, but not at 10am.

Lots of new ideas for another book, set in Barbados.

Lots of fun, laughter and time for family.


And the fact that my first Katy rom com is out on 24th...

Did I mention that?



And it's a sweet romance...


New Beginnings for Bryony Bennett. It's on Amazon to preorder...



And that I'm writing the next book, Lottie's story... And giggling...

Happy Monday,

love Katy x

#MidWeekTease Where new beginnings are almost about to happen

Last tease from New Beginnings for Bryony Bennett (Next week I'll tease you with Lottie...Or Amanda...or... wink ) (Bryony is moving from the city to the countryside) The last lap - a tiny track - was not really designed for overloaded geriatric sports cars that were fondly called Milly. Named after her godmother, who had said the vehicle was as creaky as she was, the car protested with every ill-used spring grating like a fingernail on a chalkboard. Poor thing, it sounded as aching as her back felt. Long journeys in clapped out cars, especially one towing a trainer—albeit a small one—weren’t pleasant, but it was all she had. Hold on, I can buy a new one now. Not a sports car though. Stupid though it sounded, it would be like a slap in the face to Milly…or was that a thump on the bonnet? Either way, this lane, all half a mile of ruts and furrows, wasn’t suitable for much less than a four by four, or one of those things that had its chassis jacke...

#MidWeekTease with Lottie in a mood and Bryony on the end of it...

Welcome to my #MidWeekTease Where, as New Beginnings for Bryony Bennett comes out tomorrow, c ue nail biting dancing on the ceiling, and chilling the fizz, I'm teasing you from. Lottie, who is the heroine (yes really) of the next book, is telling Bryony just what she thinks of her... But first... t he blurb When Bryony Bennett’s godmother dies and leaves her a huge inheritance, Bryony jumps at the chance to get away from it all and start again. She packs up her life and moves into the (almost) idyllic Cliff Cottage…only to find that starting over is never quite as simple as you imagine. Faced with grumpy neighbours, hostile locals and more than her fair share of disasters, Bryony embarks on a mission to make sure her new life is everything she wants it to be…but will she ever win over the locals and truly be happy in her new life? and your #MidWeekTease Five minutes before she was due to turn the sign from ‘open’ to ‘closed’, her day took a turn for t...

#MidWeekTease and Lottie is getting creative.

Hi all and welcome to this week's #MidWeekTease. The craft fair surprised him. After noticing the few signs they had passed—no need to stop and ask for directions—Gibb had thought there would maybe a few stalls dotted about, a burger van and someone selling second hand tat. Instead there were rows of vendors, everything was neat and tidy, and each row was even signposted to shop te type of stuff sold. The sign saying ‘everything and anything’ made him laugh. Wasn’t that was it was all about. ‘I want to see if I can get some old lace doilies,’ Lottie said. ‘I’ve got an idea for a table cloth.’ ‘Do people still use them?’ Gibb asked as they headed down the row marked lacework. Lottie glanced up at him. ‘Which?’ ‘Either or.’ ‘Oh yes. A perfect tablecloth can set off a room. I remember years ago seeing a decorative cloth made up of antique lace doilies and it would be perfect to use in the shop. I’ve got that all singing all dancing sewing machine, I m...
