So, after resisting the urge to blow on my blog page to clear the dust that MUST have accumulated since the last time I put up a post, I looked across at the parcel delivered this morning and SMILED.
Today I received the advanced copies of my new book 'Betty Sue's Teatime Tales'.
This book is something of a departure for me. Completely different from the books I've released so far, it was written in response to those readers who contacted me, wanting to know if/when I was going to release a title under my own name, and also asking for more of the kind of stories I have up on my 'free reads' page. In fact, they wanted some of those stories to be included, so that they had the opportunity to keep them on their kindle/book shelf.
After some thought, I decided to write a collection of shorts, ranging from 500 words to 7000 words each, that could be read as part of a tea or lunch break. I wanted each of the stories to be linked in some way, and to cover a variety of writing styles and genres, but there was one thing they all had to have in common: A Happy Ending.
Betty Sue's Teatime Tales is the result, and it will be officially released on 8th May 2015, as both a paperback and e-book title. The paperback is already available for pre-order from Amazon and I'll let you know when the e-book is similarly available.
Have to say, though: Extremely pleased with the cover and format. (And YES I did make that cake!)
