I was recently interviewed for a friends website. Please check it out http://tinyurl.com/c59tykl
The second in the Erin the fire goddess series is coming along nicely.
My daughters best friend wanted to be in the book so I have used her name and her sisters.
I read the little bit I wrote to my daughter and she loves it. I cant wait to see Charley's reaction :)
Sorry I haven't posted for so long.
On Thursday 19th July I gave my first ever author talk.
OMG I was sooooo nervous.
17 people turned up for it and I read 2 segments from  Erin the fire goddess: the beginning and I also gave a sneak peek at the second book in the series Erin the fire goddess: betrayal
As a request from one of the people who attended, the library would now like me to do another one for them in 3 months, but in the evening. They would also like me to do some around Edinburgh and Midlothian libraries too.
Hopefully over time my nerves will stay at home and I will become and old pro at it :)

Name googling

Since publishing my first book I find myself googling my name.
Its been good as I have found some cheeky people out there trying to sell my book on ebay for a huge profit. Luckily after some detective work I have managed to track down their phone number and get them to remove it.
Well today I typed in my name and this came up http://www.midlothianadvertiser.co.uk/community/gorebridge-mum-s-debut-novel-published-1-2391494

I am totally chuffed and I thought I would share it with you lovely people :)

Photographer visit

Today a photographer came round to take pictures of me and my girls.
The article about my book should be in the advertiser this week. I am so excited. I think I will buy lots of copies and send them down to England to friends and family :)
I havent actually wrote in the last couple of days. I have been so busy, and now my eldest daughters best friend has come to stay with us, so things have been hectic. Still my daughters friend keeps asking if i have finished the second book yet. Giving me totally positive vibes :)
