If you’re on my Facebook page or Twitter, you probably already heard that I finally wrote ‘The End’ on Reckless Rebellion! If you’re a writer, you probably  know that that’s just the start of the books journey!

I don’t know if it’s because I still know how much work I have to do, or if it’s just me, but I don’t find finishing a book that exciting. Once it’s published, yep, that’s a big moment. But the happy feeling of finishing the book doesn’t last long. I’m already in the middle of a quick edit to make sure all the changes I made make sense, before I send it off to the editor. The work continues!

But I’m setting a tentative publishing date of August at this point. Fingers crossed I don’t have to revise that. I’m feeling quietly positive though. If you want to be notified on the day it goes live, sign up to my mailing list in the top left corner. If you haven’t already read Reckless Rescue (the first book in the series), it’s currently 99c!

In other news, Silvia over at Silvia Writes nominated me for The Very Inspiring Blogger Award, and I’m very happy to accept. Thanks Silvia!

I always love reading Silvia’s blog, with some great emotional writing snippets and posts that make me think. Drop on over and check it out!

The rules are pretty simple:

1. Display logo in your blog to show you’ve been nominated – Check

2. Link back to your nominator – Check

3. Share 7 things about yourself – hmm, get to that in a minute.

4. Nominate 15 other bloggers for the award.

5. Notify your nominees.

So, 7 facts about myself. That should be interesting…

I’m really not good at telling right from left. Takes me a few minutes to remember which is which, every time! Makes someone giving me directions a pain
I love to sew. And knit. And do pretty much anything crafty.
I live in Australia, and have only been out of the country once, on a business trip to Japan with my mum.
I’ve never seen snow. Nope, never. It’s on my to do list.
I prefer summer to winter. I’d rather be hot and go swimming than cold!
I hate wearing shoes.
I have not very adventurous tastes, and would prefer to eat something simple at home than go out to a restaurant.

Now for some nominations. I’ve had a few awards lately, so I hope I’m not doubling up on anyone! It’s supposed to be 15, but in the interest of not flooding the blogging world, and since the numbers seem to vary in different blogs, I’m going to limit myself to 7!
