I hope those of you who celebrate Christmas had a wonderful day! Mine was filled with laughing children. We'd had our carol service and 'big dinner' the night before so after the present sharing we went down to the beach and went kayaking - and jumped off the wharf - such good fun!


Xmas Kayaking




Thanks so much to those who've been in touch over the last week - more big aftershocks are just going to happen unfortunately but that magnitude 6 quake just before Christmas was a bit full on. Fingers crossed they ease off much more over the next few months.

Meanwhile, I've been parcelling up signed books to send to some newsletter subscribers - are you signed up?! There's a free signed book offer for subscribers only - full details are in the next newsletter so be sure to sign up in the box in the sidebar :)

But for now, I wanted to wish you all the very best for 2012! Happy reading everyone!!!

Broken Roof, Broken Blog...

Okay - so I *had* been planning to blog a whole lot more but then I got home a week ago to find a roofer in the driveway who said "I don't want to panic you BUT..."

Turns out the roof on that house was structurally unsafe due to earthquake damage - heavy snow worsened it. In the course of attempted repairs more troubles were found - and more damage ensued from another aftershock - so we've moved out super quick, tossed all our belongings into storage and gone to stay with relatives for a few weeks. I have limited internet access and even more limited time.

As the thing I need to do with that all-too-rare spare time is WRITE my books, I'm just popping in now to say I won't be online much at all for the next couple of months - I figure you'd rather have a whole other book than some random blog posts from me, right?! ;)

Stay safe everyone - keep an eye on the blog/website as I'll try to update as new releases come up. But for now, here's the schedule in the next couple of months:

September: NICE GIRLS FINISH LAST on the shelves in the UK
October: NICE GIRLS FINISH LAST on the shelves in Aust/NZ
November: NICE GIRLS FINISH LAST on the shelves in the US

Take care all and I'll be back to talk in November :)
