Hello everyone.
I hope you are enjoying your day. The weather continues to be miserable here in London. Lots of rain and much colder than it should be. I am hoping for an improvement soon.
Recently, I’ve been thinking about strange things that human beings do. I was in the kitchen and threw all of the milk from the bottle away when I actually wanted to save the milk so that someone else could make a pudding with it. It’s funny what the brain does. Sometimes, you think about one thing and then the brain is telling you something completely the opposite. So, I was just wondering when was the last time you did something that you shouldn’t have? Did you go and buy some cereal at the convenience store and end up buying cheese instead? Or have you used some form of public transport, started to do something, like reading a text and missed your stop? Let me know by email.

The responses to the printable survey have been quite low. If you could take the time, I would really appreciate it if you could fill it out and send back the form or let me know the results via email. It would help me going forward in terms of the business.
This is the last week of the printable sale! The prices will be going back up from the 3rd of June!

You can get one, which is the Love Poem titled ‘The Beauty of Love,’ or two, the Love Poems, titled ‘Wishful Thinking’ and ‘Love Leaves Me.’ They are about the beauty and complexities of falling in love.

I am trying to finish writing the remaining chapters of the novel. It is almost 400 pages and I still have several chapters to write. It is likely that the first draft will be around 550-600 pages, which is far too long for one book. So, it is very likely that I will have to split it into two – which means there will be two books instead of one! I have not finished the first draft, so I cannot be sure that this will happen. I will know more by the next newsletter.
This is a surprising article in the Romance Studio about Diversity in the publishing world in North America. This is based on a survey that was conducted last year. While there is some encouraging news, it seems the progress is still painfully slow and more needs to be done. Here’s the link -
