Life Updates

It feels like it’s been forever since I had a chance to sit down and do this. In my defence, I’ve “written” lots of posts in my head *lol* I just forget them by the time I regain consciousness (hello grand plans at 2am – anyone else get those?). With a bunch of different projects on the go, I thought I should note them down in a blog post 🙂

Three months back from Singapore (*sob* miss it SO much!) and the weather here is finally starting to get nice. We’ve switched to daylight saving hours which means it is now bizarrely light at 7.15pm as I type this. And yesterday, I actually had to turn the air-con ON! For all of two hours. Pretty darn exciting ;p Right now it’s got a pleasant cool tinge to the air, so the cat is spread out on the sun warmed carpet near me, purring away madly after downing another bowl of her beloved sludge. Which is also known as those cat food sachets blended so she’ll actually eat it all rather than just licking off the gravy and leaving the meat to dry out. Yes, we’ve turned into THOSE crazy cat people. Now, onto the various projects in life…

Amazon

It’s been over a year and I just popped my paid books back on Amazon. I have increased the price on all sites bar my bookstore to accommodate for the amount those sites charge so there is a $2 difference between my bookstore, and the big main bookstores. So if you know of any friends itching to buy any of my books, do them a favour and direct them to the bargains on my personal bookstore *grin*

Wire Wrapped Dreams

Having just switched servers to Siteground – click here for their awesome pricing and service (this is a referral link) –  after discovering I had made the mistake of joining a hosting company that is part of a very large company which in short gives you utter rubbish service/speed and pricey renewals – here’s a great post if you want more in-depth info – I am in the process of re-designing my jewellery site. I am still creating beautiful pieces in the evenings (when not on my computer/reading) and they are looking for forever homes. I want a website to fit the look I envision, so this is a new learning curb I’m tackling thanks to an intensive Youtube video (isn’t YouTube AMAZING! You can find practically anything on it!!).

Book Geek Chic

I am busy designing pieces that are “print on demand” items. The test products I’ve received so far are fantastic and I’m really excited to get these pieces live. The countdown is on as I work towards this and I can’t wait to show you!

Pandora’s Curse, Bound by Blood Book One

With the story busy churning away in my mind, I’m adding to it daily. Given my writing has been on a real hiatus, this is a big deal for me. I really can’t wait to get this whole trilogy drafted and off to my Beta readers *eeeee*

Paperbacks

Book two is close to ready to go, and Book three and AfterBurn are getting there. I’m just waiting for the right time *cough* moolah to allow for me to get them all up and in their physical forms! To those of you with real copies of the new look Book One, I am envious, I still don’t own one as yet *lol*. We’ll get there!
