Hey, I haven’t been here for a bit, mostly because they’ve been upgrading the site and I couldn’t get on it. So this is highly experimental and I don’t understand it in the slightest. Expect swearing and odd fonts for a bit. For example I just thought I’d type Diamonds and put a link on it, but I pressed a link button and a whole new page shot up at me. Frankly, I’m terrified. Ooh, is that it now?

Anyway, thanks for stopping in. ‘Diamonds are a girl’s best friend’ has been out about a month now and I hope you liked it, do let me know. If you liked it, obviously. If you hated it, frankly, this may not be the website for you.

Also the other reason I can’t figure out my new site is that we’ve just had a new baby girl so I have total nappy head. She is adorable, even if the two big boys regard her as a kind of incoming monkey that likes quite severe pats to the head. She takes it in good part. Also they do say children will respond to a new sibling in different ways, and my two responded to it by instantly developing virulent chicken pox and demanding apple juice and Franklin the Tortoise stories 24/7

I HAVE still been reading and will keep updating the book blog but it’s been nice easy stuff like CJ Sansom and Lee Child (yes, I’m the world’s only female Lee Child fan) so will get back to that as soon as I can make it work/ stop staring at the baby.

AND I’m trying to finish my new book, provisionally entitled The Good The Bad and the Dumped OR the Near Misses, not sure yet. Whilst getting a suntan and keeping up with Wimbledon, both obviously very important part of a writer’s life. Also apart from this site other good places to catch up with me are Facebook and Twitter even though I totally don’t get the point of Twitter and can’t figure it out and end up reading half of my friends’ conversations in reverse.

Okay I am going to press the ’save draft’ button. I am quite scared and think it might be like that episode of Doctor Who where the computer vapourised everyone in the library. One, two, three…

Ooh yay! We’re all still here. I’m getting brave now and might even stick in a pic:
