Famous Female Pirates.

While researching famous female pirates for my next new writing project I’ve stumbled upon some fascinating information about female pirates who made their mark on the high seas.

For me the hardest thing to write has been The Foster Mother Blurb.

Here is the Foster Mother Blurb after input from award winning experts and about a dozen teeth grinding rewrites from me.

There’s a world of difference between a mother and a psychopath. But sometimes, it’s hard to tell them apart…

By Nicky Webber|2023-02-22T13:48:06+13:00February 22nd, 2023|Coming Soon, Excerpt Work in Progress, Foster Mother, News Letter, News Updates, Valentina|

Learning new things and reworking the core part of an author business is critical these days.

Yesterday I spent three amazing hours with publishing book consultant and author extraordinaire, Kirsten McKenzie. It was an eye-opening session and reinforces the much repeated concept that you don’t know what you don’t know. It turns out I hardly know a thing.

I’m starting 2023 with a new psychological thriller, not literally darlings, although it’s tempting!!
