I've been away.
We've had a family holiday, together with our daughters and grandchildren. Here are a few clues to where we've been.
We had a wonderful time with fantastic weather. Everyone enjoyed themselves but particularly 12 year old Matthew, who discovered a passion for white knuckle rides! 5 year old Lily lived the magic every single moment. She shed a few tears when it was time to come home.
A few days before we left for Florida I had some exciting news.
My book, Resolution, was accepted by a publisher.
It will be published by www.tirgearrpublishing.com,
hopefully in early August.
I signed the contract before we left. On our return I have been busy supplying the details they needed for the front cover, dedications and acknowledgments.
It's a great feeling after all these years. It has been on the back burner for about four years until I looked at it again. I've been doing lot of hard work editing and re-writing it over the last twelve months in particular. So cross your fingers and I'll keep you informed about the process.
We are all looking forward to a sunny and warm summer - well, we live in hope!
