Who else loves camping? I do, it relaxes my mind Who else loves camping? 

I do, it relaxes my mind and recharges my soul. Had a great ANZAC day long weekend away. 

Close friends, a few drinks by the campfire and wildlife coming and going around me. Life doesn't get any better when you can find peace and gratitude in the simple things.

Who else finds the opening paragraphs of their boo Who else finds the opening paragraphs of their book the hardest to write? Or as a reader, can you instantly tell if you're going to want to continue to read?
 
These are the opening paragraphs from Blood Secret, my paranormal romance novella. The tagline is "A wolf on the hunt. A woman on the run. And a secret heritage that threatens them both." 

I lost count of the different versions I wrote of the start of this novella, but I'm satisfied that the opening image created in these paragraphs supports the first part of the tagline (A wolf on the hunt.) And I hope it intrigues the reader enough to want to keep reading.

What do you do while listening to an audiobook? What do you do while listening to an audiobook? 

I listened to Helen Harper's "Gifted Thief" while driving the mower around the back paddock, thank goodness for noise cancelling headphones! 

Gifted Thief sucked me in and I finished the whole audiobook series in less than a week. I loved the dad jokes this urban fantasy heroine kept spouting at the most inopportune moments, (they were so bad - groan worthy even 😆). Great books though.

Who else can relate to this quote? I'm such a ne Who else can relate to this quote? 

I'm such a nerd, I'm oblivious to what's "cool". I just like what I like, and do my thing. And I'm cool with that. I even hold a certain amount of pride when told I'm weird. It's not an insult people. I march to the beat of my own drum and as long as I don't stomp on anyone, life's good.

STUDY TIME. Besides me, who else hates marketing a STUDY TIME. Besides me, who else hates marketing and has no idea where to start?

It's not enough nowadays for an indie author to just write a few good books and wack them up on Amazon. If an indie author ever wants to give up their day job, learning how to market is the necessary evil needed to reach new readers. 

And so, I've decided to extend my uni degreee in creative writing to include a minor in digital marketing. Uni won't teach me how to get more followers on Instagram, but I hope to gain some insight into the foundation principles that will help me connect with readers who will love my books. 

This subject is all about marketing communications and my eyes have already started to glaze over just flicking through the textbook. Nothing worth achieving ever comes easy. Study time =coffee time

Beloved Viking ebook is free in the USA this weekend! You can grab a copy at: https://geni.us/BelovedViking-Amazon

The shield-maiden must marry


Heir to her father’s Jarldom, RĂșna Isaksson will soon ascend to replace him as leader, but first she must marry a warrior from another clan to form a powerful alliance. When her father creates a contest to determine the strongest suitor, RĂșna demands to compete as well—if she wins, she can choose her own husband. However, she’s shocked to discover that her first love is amongst the competitors, the man who abandoned her without looking back. She must not let him win.

A Viking warrior haunted by a dark past


Jorvan Eriksson has returned from seeking his fortune to claim his childhood sweetheart, but the girl he left behind has become a battle-hardened shield-maiden with no intention of forgiving him. Jorvan has changed too—he now fights a darkness that lurks in his own mind. Somehow, he must conquer his demons to out-manoeuvre the other suitors and win the Viking games for RĂșna's hand. Though victory alone will never be enough. He won’t settle for anything less than reclaiming the future Jarl’s heart.
