The Importance of First Pages

As put succinctly by the awesome Jessica Hart!

You can read it here.

I'm off to enjoy the lovely almost spring-like sunshine with the kidlets!

And if it's not quite spring-like where you are, here are some pictures to cheer you up!










Have a great weekend everyone :)

Sent & Kindled!!!

So, it's been five days since I pressed SEND on the revised full to the editor. She acknowledged it and said she'd get back to me asap! I think I'm just beginning to get over the shock of pressing that dreaded button.

But even while I've been numb with shock, my sub-conscious has been working overtime because, get this, I've dreamt about my ms every night for the last THREE NIGHTS!! And every time, I'm having a weird conversation with the editor about it.

Seriously, I'm a little freaked out about this...

Anyway, to help me not totally go out of my mind, I finally contacted Amazon on Tuesday to shout at somebody for my state of non-Kindle-ness. Heck, I've only been waiting since Christmas!

And Lo and Behold, I received it yesterday!

Here it is in all it's awesome glory (loving this picture of John Steinbeck, whoever he is).

I've already uploaded a few books - the one in the second picture is Sarah Morgan's One Night...Nine-Month Scandal - which I'm loving at the moment!


*cue happy sigh* I've wanted a Kindle for aaaaagggggesss, so I'm really chuffed it's finally here!

Plus now I've got something to take my mind off checking my inbox every three seconds...because every ten seconds is perfectly sane, don't you think?
