I’m agonising over my new blurb for Whisper Island.

I’ve only just returned home to New Zealand after four months overseas and my first job is completing my new blurb for Whisper Island.

After writing, reworking and perpetual tweaking for two days, I thought I’d publish my blurb here. It’s in Draft status for now.

This new blurb for Whisper Island, my new […]

I’m Easily Bored

By Nicky Webber|2023-08-15T22:46:27+12:00August 15th, 2023|Excerpt Work in Progress, News Blog Update, News Letter, News Updates|

I’m easily bored so if a book doesn’t appeal by page fifty, I quit reading.

I don’t bother reviewing it either. I understand the hard work, sweat and tears that goes into producing 80,000 words or more. If it’s not my cup of tea – I don’t drink it!

It’s one of the reasons I […]

Famous Female Pirates

By Nicky Webber|2023-05-15T07:36:51+12:00May 15th, 2023|Excerpt Work in Progress, Isabella - female pirate, News Letter, News Updates|

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.

Women were not the simpering characters often depicted in novels and movies, clutching their silk dresses and pearls or fainting with shock and horror.

Here’s a […]

Flying High After Finishing, The Foster Mother, my new Psychological Thriller.

I won’t be flying high for very long as the completed manuscript for, The Foster Mother, is already out with a team of eagle-eyed Beta Readers and a professional editor who will all have much to say!

By Nicky Webber|2023-03-07T15:48:10+13:00March 7th, 2023|Coming Soon, Excerpt Work in Progress, Foster Mother, News Letter, News Updates, The Foster Mother|

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…

When a young mother abandons her baby in […]

Reworking the Core Part

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.

She discussed my […]

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

I’m about a third into it and there’s much more meaty stuff to write.

The basic story outline, […]

You may like to read Valentina-the draft prologue, and give me feedback, so I can improve my story telling skills?
