First of all, apologies for the radio silence these past few weeks- I've been up to my ears in book 3, working on the manuscript ready to send to my agent, as well as the usual work, life and child related stuff, and one or two other unexpecteds that threw my groove a bit.

Aria will be releasing my first novel, 'The Second Chance… Continue reading Time to shout about it…
