CoverReveal & Giveaway

Its' time!
I have finished writing 'WitchHunt' and now have a month of editing ahead of me; but I can announce that the 4th and final book in the 'WitchBlood Series', will be published on Monday the 4th November! 
 
 
WitchHunt Blurb

‘I know it’s selfish, but I don’t want you to go,’ Daniel said, a couple of minutes later.
I looked at him and smiled.
‘I’ll be fine, I will.’
‘You’d better be. I don’t know what I’d do without you. Those months I stupidly spent apart from you… they were torment for me,’ he said.
‘They were torment for me too.’
 
As the Christmas season is ripped apart by the news that Jess’ old friend Alex has been turned into a vicious killer, festivities are dropped, Jess returns to England and the hunt begins. But Alex isn’t the only one being hunted, for Mary has found a way to extinguish the entire bloodline of Malden witches, and it is Jess’s book of shadows that’s the key. As things hot up, Jess finds she must leave Daniel and the safety of Manchester in a final hunt for her nemesis, Mary. In a fight-off that only one of them can survive, loved ones will fall… daemons will rise… but who will survive?
 
 
 
As an aside I promised a Gigantic Swag giveaway for my Facebook Page reaching 1000 likes so here it is!  
This is ONE prize for ONE lucky winner and will consist of a signed paperback copy of WitchBlood, A book bag, A bookmark, A magnet, postcard and the necklace that Luke gives Jess in WitchLove. The competition is INTERNATIONAL but because the postage costs are so high there is only one prize... so Good Luck!

Moving House and Finishing Books

So have you seen my word count linky? I've passed the 70,000 mark and I'm writing the final chapter. In fact it should be finished tomorrow! That's the first draft of course, then comes a month of editing and reading, and re-reading! And what a busy month it's going to be!

This weekend I'm running a cover reveal mini tour. You should see my WitchHunt cover far & wide as my favourite bloggers unite! It's worth clicking on them as I'm running a massive swag giveaway as well, to celebrate my facebook page getting past 1000 likes! You could win this little lot:


Then a couple of weeks of editing later and on the 18th & 20th October I'll be doing readings from my books and holding a Q&A session at the Isle of Wight Literary Festival. I'll be back home on the Monday and on the Thursday I will hopefully be moving house and family 300 miles south to Somerset... finally! And a week after I move in... Internet connection or not... I WILL be publishing WitchHunt, the fourth and final book in the WitchBlood series! Even if it means I have to sit in a Costa Coffee all day :)

Wish me Luck...

How Time Flies When You're Having Fun... or stressed out!

Wow! I can't believe it's been over a month since I last blogged! I'm really bad at this aren't I? In my defence it has been school summer holidays, my husband is working away and we are selling our house! Well the last sale fell through, but now we've thankfully sold yet again, to a lovely young couple who seem to love the house; so I am really happy about that! We have pencilled in a move date of 25th Oct, so I expect to have no internet for a few weeks once we move!

On top of that I am desperately trying to write WitchHunt and get it done for November. Now the kids are back at school I should be able to do a good 10k a week so I'm making progress.

I have also finished the book cover for WitchHunt so expect a cover reveal mini tour on the weekend on Sept 28th.

Also if you haven't yet liked my Facebook page get on over there and like it because I'm only 10 more likes away from the magic 1000 number and when we reach 1000 I have a loads of goodies to giveaway!

So here are my current dates for your diary:

Sept 27th  - Cover Reveal
Oct 20th - Meet me at the Isle Of Wight Festival
Nov 4th - WitchHunt should be available to buy!

Now I'm sorry this isn't longer and more interesting but I really have to write!
