This week I’m busy writing a short story, waiting for the release of my next independently-published romance, Royal Risk, and getting ready to send out my January newsletter. It’s all coming soon!
Christmas Comes But Once A Year…
…unless you are a writer. As well as writing novels, I write short stories and pocket Novels for The People’s Friend magazine. Publication schedules mean that stories for specific time slots such as Easter, Christmas and secular holidays need to be written and ready many months in advance.
Ideas for several stories came to me last month when our Christmas tree went up and Christmas cards started arriving. I made a note of them all. Now the excitement of Christmas 2023 is only a memory, I’m getting to work planning and crafting Christmassy short stories for 2024.
Publication Day
The next book in my Royal Romances series, Royal Risk, will be published on 30th January. You can find out more about Krisia and Athan’s story here.
