Thanks, Ath – as I’m sure you remember, they came to life in a short story in one of you winter writing challenges. Now I’m about to start writing book 3.

Thanks, Libby!
Book 1 in the series was a bronze winner in the Wishing Shelf Book Awards last week too. So I’ve had lots to celebrate on the writing front. A very nice feeling after the years of drought when I was chasing agents!

I wanted to let you know that I’ve finally gone ahead and published my humorous middle grade book. I’m very excited!
Some of you may remember the characters Pix and Gabe from one of Athelstone’s short story contests. Well, the pair have now gone large.It’s launching on 12 July. If anyone is interested, you can pre-order an e-copy now, or get a…[Read more]

Pix and Gabe are brilliant, 100% delightful characters who will entice any reader. Well done, Kate! I’m looking forward to reading The Shadow Deception.

Thank you, Libby!

Great news, Kate. I’ve watched your magical duo for some time now. I’m certain the Shadow Deception will be a winner.
-
Thanks, Athelstone. Fingers crossed. 😊

That’s such exciting news – congratulations, Kate! I’m sure your charming, quirky duo will enchant many young readers. xx

Thanks, Kaz!

Well done, Kate. I’m so out of touch with my writing people, but I love your writing. I’m busy finishing off my own WIP, Marigold (almost there), but will take a look as soon as I come up for breath.

Thanks so much, Janette, I really appreciate that. And good luck with finishing the WIP.

Is anybody else have trouble with group posts? It’s impossible to get to recent posts.
-
Hi Kate, sorry , I’ve not been online much today. Can you give me some more detail on the issue you’ve got? What forum? What posts? Anything else you think might be helpful.
-
Thanks, Ath. It’s in our SE course group. A forum has multiple pages but we can’t move beyond the first page to look at later posts.
-
Hmm. OK, no idea at the moment.
-
So, when you go to the forum, you’re presented with an original post (topic) plus any replies on that page, but you can’t proceed, i.e. if you pick page 2 or the arrow, nothing happens apart from the screen refreshing. I think it may be a problem with other forums as well.
-
I think I’ve got a fix.

That’s me borrowing Admin’s hat by the way.

🙂 yes, that’s what is happening.

Try now.

That’s working. Thank you!

Thank you all for a fabulous batch of stories.
Seagreen – you had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was in that letter.
Sandra – such a lovely heart warming tale.
Athelstone – I love that kind hearted Brenda got the reassurance she needed.
Alex – oh! Such a tale of mystery and deceit. Thus feels like the basis for a longer story.

You arrive home to find an unmarked envelope on your door mat. Who is it from? What does it contain?
Let me know in less than 500 words.

Thanks, Alex. It was fun to give Pixie and Gabe an outing! I’ll have a think about a theme for the coming month.

A STRANGE ENCOUNTER
Len slammed on the brakes of his electricity work truck and squeezed his eyes closed. This couldn’t have happened. It had to be his imagination. Too much beer last night and too much coffee this morning.
He peeked open his eyes and gave a screech more usual for his five-year-old daughter.
Pressed against the windscreen was a…[Read more]

And to you, Kate! A chilly start to Christmas morning here in West Sussex. Off to see our daughter start the festivities with a 5K Park Run soon. Then home for breakfast and dividing up the spoils 🙂
