A little update...
The summer is now over and the autumn colours are appearing quickly in my part of Scotland. It's time for snuggling down with some great reading which may be a novel or one of my blog posts which tend to take up quite a bit of my writing time during the week. I've been reading a lot of novels over the summer and I've reviewed them on my blog, and on the Amazon and Goodreads sites.
I attended lots of Craft Fairs and Highland Games over the summer season where I sold loads of paperback versions of my novels. My diary for attending events like these is full right up till Christmas so I now need to literally take stock and then dash off an email to my publishers for more books, to make sure I've got enough to last me through all the venues. (10 events booked and some more are likely)
I'm also booked to give author talks and look forward to visiting the ladies at Blackburn (Kinellar) in a few weeks.
My main blog writing recently has been 'My Cruise Diary'. Having spent a couple of eventful weeks at the end of August cruising the North Atlantic in The Black Watch, a Fred.Olsen Cruise ship -visiting Greenland, Iceland and Norway - I just had to share my thoughts on those lovely venues. You can keep up with my Cruise Diary on my BLOG. The photo at left is of the awesome (using the word in its true sense) Trollstigen Mountains a short coach ride from Alesund in Norway. You'll see loads of fabulous reminders of my trip on my BLOG.
During my Book signing/ selling sessions at local venues I often make exceptionally good contacts which help me in my research of the local area. After one lovely conversation at Aboyne during the summer, I'm the one who has been asked to help with a future project that one of the larger Aberdeenshire Visitor Centres are planning just now. I'm always delighted to help with anything about the Ancient Roman invasion of north east Scotland and look forward to sending on my research findings.
My novel writing continues and at 85,000 words I'm getting closer to being satisfied with my current version of Book 4 of my Celtic Fervour Series . I'm toying with naming it 'Where Now Agricola?' or maybe 'In Agricola's Shadow' or 'In the Path of Agricola'... I'll let you know soon what the working title will end up as.
Slainthe! (Cheers! I'll update later in the autumn)
