As of this morning, all the Grouse and Partridge Christmas books have been uploaded to Kindle and they should be available at the princely sum of 75p each from tomorrow. Not that I imagine anyone in their right mind wants to read a Christmas story in August, but I couldn't guarantee I'd have enough time to format them when December comes! Once they're on the website, I'll add links here.
I don't think there will be a Christmas story this year - although I do have a plot fermenting - largely because of the new job/on-going degree course/full length G&P in progress at the moment. I know I'm gaining lots of extra time by not commuting, but I will need to eat and sleep as well!
I've spent a lot of time this week mentally furnishing Hamish's wee cottage (found some lovely tweed covered chairs I really adore and since I can't afford them for myself, he might as well have them!!!) and sorting out old files and computer discs. In the process I came across several parts of chapters from Scotch Mist which didn't make it into the final cut - maybe one day I'll do an 'unabridged' version!
The new book has reached 12,000 words and is, so far, being interesting and reasonably easy to write: just wish I could stretch out the last of the summer to the 20 000 mark - I'd feel happier about it if I could!
Best cake : In Whitby last week so had to have some Yorkshire Brack (a kind of sticky tea loaf!) from Elizabeth Botham's bakery in Skinner Street. Gorgeous with butter and a cup of their tearoom blend coffee. She does mail order too... YUM!
