Merry Christmas, my faithful friends.
My last message to you was a year ago and what a lot has happened.
I left a job of 15 years working full time, every day in a school to now working part time in the village where I live, for a charitable trust than runs the Community hall.
So happy to have more time to be myself and enjoy my creative pursuits.
During the summer, I was lucky enough to spend two nights at Villa Casa Casuarina, aka The Versace Mansion, Ocean Drive, Miami. The place I researched many years ago for The Diver, Can Divit to begin his journey into modelling, fashion and perfume. An area that I knew the real Can Yaman would undoubtedly enter into...and he did. I was certain it would be an Italian designer for him...and I was right but in real life...he went with Dolce and Gabbana.
I was writing late last night to finish off a Diver chapter.
This story is coming to an end now and this little beach scene has been in my head as a suitable ending for some time...
However... there may be a little epilogue.
Underground Violet is calling and I'm very excited to be writing Can Divit, the supernatural Vampire with Sanem as the newly turned Hybrid. The story has a love interest for Doc and an avenging angel looking for revenge.
My Blue Moon; Lone Wolf also has a new chapter started and as yet, I haven't got an ending for the Divit pack. It makes me sad to think of it finishing.
I've even started a Sandokan and Pasha Fencer story, but this hasn't been developed into a full novel yet. But I may post up what I have so far to see if you guys like it...
So, lots going on...and this summer my eldest daughter gets married!
I thank you all for bearing with me this year... to be able to write, you need to be in a good head space and I just wasn't. My main focus was deciding what to do for myself in my career, and having my children happy and settled in their leaving home decisions.
Lots of love to you all...
May the Spirit of Albatross live long in you.
