I missed last week for some reason. Maybe it was because
I was due my chemo and had other things on my mind. I have made progress on the
book front, and now have a paperback copy of my non-fiction title, A WORD IN
YOUR EAR, in my hand. My son brought it over from UK. I have also ordered a copy
from Amazon.com simply because I was intrigued by the fact that postage from
USA is cheaper than from UK to Spain. How do they work that out? I will be
ordering several copies to give away, but will have those delivered in UK, post
free. I’ll be able to pick them up when we travel over there in May. I still
have to make a change to the paperback because I included the table of contents
(from the e-file), which is unnecessary. It’s not a major problem, but I should
be able to get that sorted within a day or so.

I have also started getting to grips with my latest ms,
THE GATEKEEPER (working title). As most writers will know, there is always a
point in the creative process when you run out of ideas. I’m no different, and
have struggled a little. I put that down to the fact that I put the book on the
back burner last year while I completed PAST IMPERFECT, and also the diversion
on to my religious book. Now I’m waiting for my publisher to send me the PDF proof
of Past Imperfect so I can crack on with that. It will also tell me that they
haven’t forgotten and have made progress with it. I’m looking forward to seeing
that.

Another project I have in hand is a new, updated
website. My son, Terry, is building it for me, and when he was over here for
the weekend, we sat down and went through the WordPress file learning a little
about building and editing. I’m hoping I can grasp the essentials of building a
site, but I have a suspicion that I may be calling on my son more than once for
help. Once the website has been updated, I will begin to move my titles over.
Should be fun.

On the health front: I had my fifth chemo session last
week and today I have hit the wall. I think it’s because I survived on adrenalin
while our son and his daughter, Gemma were over here for a couple of days. Now
the chickens have come home to roost. Not to worry though; only one more
session and I will be out of the woods. Wish me luck!
