Happy New Year - and an announcement

Let me begin by wishing everyone a Happy New Year! 2015 has arrived (doesn’t time seem to go faster the older you get – I swear this year has flown by) and for me it’s shaping up to be the best yet!

I’m not big on New Year’s resolutions. No one ever seems to keep them, and to be honest I made most of the big changes I wanted to make at the end of 2014. But I will say that I’m hoping to take things for granted less this year. It’s all too easy to get caught up in all the small things, the little dramas and forget how lucky we are to simply be here (wherever here happens to be) with our health and our families and loved ones.

All of that aside, I am also really pleased today to make the announcement that The Forever Queen, the sequel to The Last Knight, has a release date!

That’s right, after only a year and a half of making people wait, and having to reassure people that there is a sequel coming, I can finally give a date!

The downside is, it’s still a few months away.

Despite the fact that the first draft is finished there is still a lot of work to be done. Covers to be designed, beta reader feedback, and lots of editing. Plus a promo/marketing campaign to set up.

There’s also the fact that I really want to release it on a certain date!

So, The Forever Queen will be hitting the virtual shelves on the 23^rd of April.

For anyone who doesn’t know, the 23^rd of April is St George’s Day, St George being the patron saint of England, and of course famous for supposedly saving a princess and slaying a dragon.

If you want to know why this date is significant – well, you’ll have to buy and read a copy of The Forever Queen!

Happy New Year Everyone!
