On course again

Today is hopefully the last day of the course. I get to hand in my umpteen pages of homework and hopefully there won't be anything else to do. Please don't let there be anything else to do! Tomorrow it's my parents golden wedding anniversary party so I'm taking a day from work as I've accumulated so many hours writing up dreary notes on standardisation so we can go. Thursday I'm in work all day and then yipppee, Friday, seaside here we come!

(The pic is one I took last year and is the view from Marla's cottage in Crystal Clear - I've been there in my head a lot the last few days)

The price of fame

Or well scarcity I suppose in my case. I heard from a reader yesterday who is busy buying up my back list. Unfortunately, as you know two of my publishers, Moonlit Romance and By Grace Publishing closed at the start of this year. Apparently this has led to a strong market for the print copies of my books for those houses. She was after a copy of The Cinderella Substitute and finally tracked one down for £15 but she tells me that most places that had it wanted £50!!! Luckily I have a few copies of my other titles that I've been able to help her with but wow - £50.
I'm still ploughing through the course work - two sections left to go. I am never - repeat never - going to do something like this again.
I just want to tidy up my house and finish writing Crystal Clear this course is so dull it's driving me to chocolate.

on course

The day job have sent me on this course, as you know. The amount of work entailed is horrendous and I've very little time to get it done especially as I'm so close to finishing the first draft of Crystal Clear. It doesn't help when the subject matter of the course is so dreary. I'd much rather spend time with Zee and Drew in Brixham where the sun is shining and the bad guy has reappeared - sigh. So if I'm a little scarcer around the tinternet over the next couple of weeks you'll know why.
