Celebrate being back to blogging...

I haven't been around much online the last few weeks. This is for a variety of reasons, but mainly I have been working on my ms. Every spare minute has been used to tweak and edit and I have tried to keep distractions like blogging and twitter on hold! I am happy to report that it has been time well spent and I have been quite productive. The ms is almost ready for submission! YAY!

In other news, we had an Alice in Wonderland afternoon tea party.

Look cake!!


and more food...


I used vintage tea cups and jugs to put some of the food in...




I spent a lovely Sunday afternoon here...



This only about four miles from where I live and they hold an annual Food Festival which is always popular. This year saw their inaugural Literary Festival alongside.They had some great YA authors appearing so obviously I had to go along and say hello. Hopefully, it will become as popular as the food side of the festival.

It is a Bank Holiday weekend here in the UK. Hopefully the extra day will give me the opportunity to finish of my submission letter.

Happy weekend to you all



Thanks to Lexa and her lovely co-hosts

Chrys Fey Release

After taking a couple of weeks break from blogging to polish my ms I would like to step back into the blogosphere today and welcome Chrys Fey to share details of her new release. 

Congratulation and best wishes, Chrys. 

I should be back to full blogging mode next week and will post a round-up of what I have been up to during the last few weeks. Until then, take it away, Chrys ... 


Profile of a Heroine


Kate Beckinsale
Name: Beth Kennedy

Occupation: Self-Defense Instructor

Favorite Color: Purple

Vehicle: None; her last car died before Hurricane Sabrina
hit.

Idea of a Romantic Date: surprising her man with a home
cooked meal

Hobbies: Canoeing, boxing, writing poetry, playing poker,
beach-going

Dislikes: Snakes, hurricanes, cheating ex-fiancés, car
troubles

EXCERPT:

He woke to the aroma of tomato, basil, and garlic, and
found Beth in the kitchen wearing one of his black shirts with a belt around
her hips. The shirt fell to the tops of her thighs. Despite what he had gone
through today, a smile manifested on his face.

“What are you cooking?”

Beth twirled on her bare feet. “Lasagna. I walked across
the street to the grocery store to get the ingredients I needed and used the
money you left for pizza. There’s also garlic bread.” She paused. “I wanted to
do something nice for you. After everything we’ve been through, and all the
peanut butter sandwiches we consumed at the police department, I figured we deserved
a good, home-cooked meal.”

He smiled. To some, a meal might be a small thing, but to
him, it was a big gesture.
“It smells great.” He peered down at her
body. “And I can see you raided my closet.”

“I don’t have any clothes here, so I created a makeshift
dress out of your shirt and belt. Do you like it?”

Donovan pulled her to him and devoured her lips. Beth
reacted instantly, grabbing his shoulders and moaning. He hadn’t meant to get
carried away, but feeling her reaction to him exploded whatever control he
possessed.

An Internal Affairs Investigator was murdered and his

deadly hurricane—Beth Kennedy. From the moment their fates intertwined, passion
consumed him. He wants her in his arms. More, he wants her by his side in his
darkest moments.

Beth Kennedy may not know everything about Donovan, but she
can’t deny what she feels for him. It’s her love for him that pushes her to do
whatever she has to do to help him get justice, including putting herself in a
criminal’s crosshairs.

When a tip reveals the killer's location, they travel to
California, but then an earthquake of catastrophic proportions separates them.
As aftershocks roll the land, Beth and Donovan have to endure dangerous
conditions while trying to find their way back to one another. Will they
reunite and find the killer, or will they lose everything?
