Looking Ahead

So I've got a lot of positive things lined up. My second book will hopefully be out before the end of this year.  As soon as I get a release date I'll post it on here. I'm also in negotiations with some other publishers about a British crime thriller I've written so that's potentially pretty exciting.

Very randomly I've been invited to speak on an American talk show which actually terrifies me. Those who know me will be aware of how much I struggle with that sort of thing. For me, the writing is the easy part its the selling myself aspect that I find horrific. I wish I could create a clone Carys to go out and do all the PR stuff for me whilst I stay home relaxing in a onesie... Oh well.

Back to enjoying this rare bout of beautiful British weather. I've even managed to do some writing outside this week which has been lovely (just don't mention the sunburn).

Editing

So I'm pretty much done with editing my Young Adult vampire novel, Sunkissed, so hopefully it won't be too long before it has a publication date.

I never enjoy editing. Compared to writing, which is fun and creative and without boundaries, editing can seem tedious and frustrating. I'd much rather be creating a new story than polishing a previous one.

But editing is an essential part of the whole process. I'm sure other writers find it just as much of a chore as I do.

My First Post...

So I thought that it was high time I started my own blog. So here it is! Ta-dah! lol. I'm still new to the wide world of blogging so please bear with me. 

I will be using my blog to update about my current literary ventures as and when they occur. 

 A current update; my second book, Sunkissed, has recently been picked up by an American publisher so I'm now in the long process of editing my manuscript. Exciting! 

If you can't wait that long you could always check out my first book, Not All Stars Sparkle. 

When I'm not blogging, writing new material or editing old stuff I'm hanging out with my dog Rollo who is, in my opinion, the best dog in the world (not that I'm biased). 

For the cute factor, here is an adorable picture of Rollo for you to go awwww at! : )
