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 :)

Yesterday I was kind of having a dilemma.
My books are teen fiction, and I was trying to decide whether or not to mention or insinuate sexual references, but after speaking to my husband I decided I will steer clear. Mainly because my eldest child is only 11 and she loves reading my work and eventually my 5 year old will read it and as a mother I wouldn't want my child reading  anything like that, until they of an appropriate age.
I know my eldest has read Twilight and there has been subtle references, but done in a way that is okay. So maybe in one of my later books I may subtly mention something but its hard to know how to write it.

This is my very first blog. Up until today you could say I was a virgin blogger and today I've popped my cherry.

You will need to bare with me as I have no idea what I am suppose to do, but I am sure I will pick it up in no time :)

I am the author of the book series ' Erin the fire goddess' back in May my first book of the series 'the beginning' became available on the kindle and then a month later it became available on paperback.

What a brilliant feeling and the feedback I have received from those who have read my work has been amazing and I am truly touched for all the kind words and support.

Presently I am writing the second in the series, which is called 'betrayal'. I currently do not have an exact date for its release, but I will definitely keep you posted.

If you have not yet visited my facebook page for the book then please take yourself along and like it please :)

On Thursday the 19th July from 2pm to 3pm I will be giving an Author talk at my local library in Gorebridge. I am really nervous as this will be my first one. Luckily I will know most of the people there (if anyone comes lol)

My children's head teacher has also asked if I would be willing to give a talk to the school after the summer holidays. I suppose by then I maybe an old pro at it ;)

On Monday I have a photographer and reporter coming to my house to take pictures for an article they are doing about myself and my book. I am really excited but I hate having my picture taken, but needs must if I want to sell my book :)

Anyway I think this little blog will do for today. I will try and post regularly and hopefully have something more interesting to say next time :)

Thanks for reading.
