Still here, no internet

-

Just wanted to let you all know I am still here! I am in the depths of moving into my new home and have no internet yet, so no big posts. 

The big news is, I finished my redraft and am ready to start revising!

No further explanation needed for my silence, right?

W is for Willoughby Who? Willoughby the Narrator! I'm diverging from my format for a review and a launch-day party, because Jemima Pett's new book is out today! But it's all about Willoughby, so we're sticking with a W character. Title: Willoughby the Narrator (Princelings of the East, Book 7) Author: Jemima Pett Publication info: Princelings Press, 2017. 180 pages.

As she spends her mornings swimming in the bracingly cold sea, her days tracking Orkney's wildlife, and her nights searching the sky for the Merry Dancers, Amy discovers how the wild can restore life and renew hope.   My Review: This one didn't turn out to be quite what I expected. The blurb mad...
