Hi friend,
Greetings from San Miguel de Allende during Mexican Independence month!
In this newsletter, a chance to win 30 books, a book recommendation, and a writing update.
And for writers - a unique opportunity to gain PR expertise and an upcoming free class.
And congrats to my newsletter winners from last month. They each got to choose from two books I recommended (One Tough Cookie and The Island Sisters).
Travel & Projects Update - Aka The Juggle!
After four fabulous months working from Asia (mostly Vietnam), Hubby and I are back in Mexico in San Miguel de Allende. We plan to stay here into 2024.
One of the best parts? I'm now re-united with my paper books (like in the photo above!).
But what is it about September that everything gets so busy? In addition to unpacking and getting resettled, I'm preparing for the September Womens Fiction Writers Association conference in Chicago, where I'm speaking.
I'm also enjoying creating new classes weekly and supporting the authors in my marketing program for authors - 12 Weeks to Book Launch Success.
I've been writing most mornings. I am now two scenes away from finishing the current version of my second book! Lots of revisions after this, but I hope that you may see this novel in your hands in 2024.
And Ashley Hasty and I are recording new episodes for our podcast (The Best of Women's Fiction) which restarts in October. Plus, I'm planning a big bash birthday celebration in the UK next summer for my mum's 80th.
Phew, I'm exhausted just listing all of that!
Book Recommendation
I just finished reading a new thriller, The Followers by Bradeigh Godfrey.
It's set in the social media and influencer world (like my next book), and explores "influencer culture and the secrets we keep from those we love most". Honestly, it's a ton of fun! I can recommend.
Barbie Themed Thirty Book Giveaway
Are you sick of seeing Barbie stuff yet? For the last two months in Vietnam I couldn’t watch the movie because it's banned there (Serious stuff - all about geopolitics and sea borders. More details here if you're interested).
I finally saw the film (so much fun) and how cool is it that my novel, The Exit Strategy, is part of a Barbie themed book giveaway.
You can win 30 similar books with strong bad-ass women and a Barbie Movie swag pack worth $250.
