Hello, Readers!

Thanks for stopping by, Angel here, with my original author profile photo for those of you that might be new to my work... It is probably time for a more up to date photograph, but I love this one, and honestly, I haven't changed much!

The blog here is where I will be posting each month, and in between if there is news that needs to be passed on instead of starting up a newsletter again. I'll update you on what I'm writing, what stage my projects are at and when to expect the next book...

I will share what I've been reading, what I've been up to away from writing and give you details for giveaways, competitions and more!

So, without further ado, let's get on with an update... Here's this year so far, in a nutshell!

In January I decided that I wanted to make more of an effort and get back to writing more regularly, and to make more of my writing career, so I made an effort to do something writing related on a daily basis. I wanted to get writing again properly as I've played about with multiple projects since publishing the last Cursed Novel last summer and had so many ideas that I wanted to actually do something about! I picked an idea, knuckled down, and have definitely made some headway.

In the last few weeks, I have upped my game again and relaunched my social media as well as getting the website up and running again. I have put The Cursed Novels into Kindle Unlimited and intend on adapting The Hidden World Novels kindle editions to add them too to broaden my readers. Do you use Kindle Unlimited? 

What have I been writing?

I have a new project on the go in the shape of a biker romance series! It started out as a reverse harem where the female main character was a biker and becomes the first female biker in the MC. Since then it has become a fully fledged series following the members of the motorcycle club and exploring multiple relationship types! I'm so excited and have every hope of getting the first book ready for you by summer!

The first book is a full first draft and has just gone off to a first reader for a read through and edit, so fingers crossed they think it's okay...

While book one is in the hands of my trusted readers, I am already working on book two, which already has over fifty pages written, but is currently random chapters and key ideas. I need to start from the beginning and get the story down now.

What have I been reading?

Currently, I'm reading what I'm writing and have enjoyed several new authors since diving into the world of spicy romance. Top of my favourite list would have to be Tate James, check out her Shadow Grove interconnecting series if you're into reverse harem novels, hers are epic! Some other great series have been A M McCoy's Twisted Ink duo, Jolie Vines' Body Count series and Navessa Allen's Lights Out.

I recently bought Carissa Broadbent's first two Crowns of Nyaxia novels for my bookshelf. I have already read them, and if you're fantasy lovers and haven't read them yet, then you are seriously missing out! They were phenomenal and had one of the most epic cliffhangers between the two books that I've ever read... The first two books were a duo, book three is now out, set to be a duo with book four due later this year, and I daren't read three yet because I just know that the cliffhanger would ruin me. I am impatiently waiting for book four before I go there!

I'd love to hear your recommendations - drop me a comment below to let me know what you've been reading!

What have I been up to in life?

Away from my writing, and reading, life has been moving along quite nicely for us! My eldest son turned five at the beginning of this year, and my littlest was two before Christmas. We home educate, so we spend a lot of time out exploring new places together, reading lots of books, because obviously they are both little book dragons like their mama, and going out with friends. 

I work two days a week for Waterstones bookshop and love it, though I hate being away from my boys, and I play Dungeons and Dragons once a week!

One of my New Year's Resolutions was to try and get fit and drop a little weight, and I have been experimenting with different types of workouts over the last few months, trying to decide what works for me, what I can fit in and when, and what I enjoy... I'm hoping to get back into running now the nights are lighter, as the only opportunity I really have for something like that is when the boys are in bed. I have downloaded the Couch to 5k app, a program I have done before, but before I had my children, and am excited to get started!

Do you do any kind of exercise? I'd love to hear what works for you, drop me some ideas below...

Thank you

I will never be able to put into words how grateful I am for the support I've had over the years, from my family and friends, the people who have given their time to read and edit my books, and to each and every one of you who have bought and read my stories! Without all of you, I wouldn't be where I am today, because I'd be writing books that no one was reading, and where as I would still write, even if no one wanted to read them... I am so happy that I get to share my stories with you!

Till next time,

Angel x
