After much book-cover angst over my new psychological thriller, The Foster Mother, I bit the bullet.

I put the job out to professional cover designers in USA.

Three weeks later they returned with their concept mockup. It immediately took my breath away!

Giving them the brief put me on the spot. They asked all kinds of questions about the plot, the characters […]

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.

By |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!! 

This first newsletter for the year has updates about my new psychological thriller, Valentina, (the name of a neglected and abandoned baby). It’s only a working title at this stage.

Award Winning Fiction?

I’m about to head off overseas in 11 days and have been decluttering my email inbox!
