This week I’ve
been busily working away on ‘Voodoo Wedding’ the magically romantic sequel to my
novella ‘How Do You Voodoo?’ and I’m trying hard to follow last week’s sound
advice against procrastination from productivity ninja, Grace Marshall. This
week, Grace has featured the topic (and my plea) on her own expert blog and she says it has
resonated with many writers!
I was tagged this
week by several lovely Facebook friends to take part in the 777 Challenge,
which means you take page 7, line 7, from your Work In Progress and quote from it
before challenging 7 other writers to do the same. You can check who I
nominated on my Author Facebook Page HERE
and here is an extract from page 7 of ‘Voodoo Wedding’ which I hope to launch on Amazon for Kindle on 1st
March:
‘I know we wanted a small wedding at
first,’ she explained, ‘but then my mother reminded me how I have lots of
aunties and uncles and cousins in Glasgow. I want them to be there and I can’t
invite some and not others, can I? That would be rude.’ She flicked a finger
across her iPad again. ‘Now, how many relatives do you have?’
‘I don’t.’
My tag line for ‘Voodoo Wedding’ is: Something
old, something new, something borrowed, something voodoo…!
If you haven’t
yet read ‘How Do You Voodoo’ which is part one of my Voodoo Romance Trilogy –
it’s available on Amazon for Kindle right now and included on Love Reading Love Books blog- Five Star
Reads of 2012!
Thanks to my
lovely friend and fellow author Gill Stewart, who blogs at Novel Points of View and lives not too
far away from me in Dumfries and Galloway, for the Very Inspiring Blogger Award!
It seems I need to provide seven random facts about
myself before passing it on. An excellent excuse for a little bit of
self-indulgence!
So here we go – and random it is!
1.
I have two white West Highland terriers called Polly and Ruby.
2.
I keep four rescue hens - all named after female pop stars.
3.
I lived in Scotland half my life but I was born in Widnes England.
4.
I’m the eldest of five children. I have two brothers and two sisters.
5.
I do not have a middle name but I’d really like one.
6.
My favourite food is Scottish smoked salmon.
7.
Mr JH and I will be celebrating our 30th Wedding Anniversary this year.
And I’ll pass on this award to: Linn
B Halton. Grace Marshall. Facing
50 With Humour. Liz Harris. Celtic Connexions. Kenneth Rosenberg.
Until next week then – when it’s Burns
Night - and we’ll be celebrating by taking part in the official Haggis Hunt. Not to be missed!!
Haste Ye Back!
