CHARITY AUCTION!

Last year, I took part in an eBay charity auction in aid of Autism Speaks, a brilliant organisation that funds essential research into the medical causes of autism. This year, they are hosting another auction and a signed copy of Love Hunts is up for grabs. It's such a great cause, that if any visitors to my site want to help (and get a personally dedicated rollicking good read into the bargain), please follow this LINK to the auction.

Other news is that I am writing as fast as my fingers can pound the keys to complete the latest novel, which links the Lodes books with Tash and Hugo, and a new character called Sylva who is part Ivana Trump, part Jordan and great fun to create. It's still a constant juggle to get the time to write around a young family, the dressage schoolmaster business and other commitments, but I'm getting there. I've even gone back to my old habit of working through the night on occasions, although I am pretty spaced out the following morning and find myself doing things like signing cheques with a row of kisses and taking Dora to nusery school only to find it's a Saturday. I look forward to having a full first draft in the bag and finally getting out of the house for more than ten minutes at a time. I hear it's been quite sunny...

In the light of all this, I've removed the 'Day in the Life' section from the website because it was terribly out of date and referred to a time when I had no children or business partnership, and the biggest worry each day was walking the dog. I'll rewrite it with a more realistic break-down when I find time (ha ha!).

Meanwhile, here's a picture of our most recent arrival at Dovecote Stables. He's called Digby...
