Pieces of Me is not far off being finished now; unfortunately I'm struggling to find beta readers and someone to help with the editing (everyone I know of is already booked up, pardon the pun). At this stage although the writing (minus any edits) will be complete by the middle to end of August, the editing etc may take me up to Christmas, booooo!
Therefore I've decided to get started on some short stories which will be released on Amazon Kindle edition throughout the rest of 2014 and I will put them together in a paperback at some point in 2015. Good thing I have a plethora of ideas in mind! Happy weekend. xx Undecided on whether or not to see where this takes me or to leave it as a piece of flash fiction... Opinions?
"I know you're not real." "Says who?" "You can't be, you're dead." "Death isn't the end, Cat." "But I watched you die. This is all in my head." "Just because it's in your head doesn't mean it isn't real." I put my hands up to cover my ears. Mum just carried on sitting at the end of the bed and smiled at me. I squeezed my eyes shut to block out the image of her and counted to ten in my head before I opened them again. She was gone. Slowly I dropped my hands from my head and looked around the room. There was no sign of her now. "Mum?" I called out, half expecting her to reply. Of course, she didn't. I'd watched her take her last breath six months earlier. I must have been dreaming still and only just woken up. A tear escaped and trailed down my freckled cheek. It had seemed so real. Characters are having conversations in my head again... I wonder where this one will find a home?
"She, she..." "Oh spit it out!" "She makes my heart sing!" "Sing? And there was me thinking you were just screwing her." "Makes his heart sing?! While I bear his children she gives him the sound of music! Can you believe it?" I take another sip of my cocktail while my girlfriends absorb what I've told them about my pig of a husband. The first delivery of Telling Tales arrived today, and they have all sold! Even the copy I had reserved for myself. A new delivery will be with me in July and I already have some of those reserved. Copies have been signed and delivered, with the rest to be posted out tomorrow. This part is my favourite I think! I am excited to announce that I am working on my first range of children's books!
Ella and the Pesky Pixies will follow the adventures of little Ella and her mischievous friends, a band of Cornish Pixies! Adventures of Sam and Ted tells the tales of three year old Sam and his teddy bear, Ted. Both will be aimed at young children and I think they would be lovely bedtime stories! Don't forget to do the voices and actions though Mums and Dads! I may be on the lookout for an illustrator, so watch this space... |
