I have not been very good at writing this
blog, and it is one of the things I vow to do better going forward. As the
nights are now drawing in, the horse world is winding down and life for all of
those in charge of animals becomes considerably harder with the change in
weather!
I cannot believe how quickly the year is
passing and everything that has been achieved, but at the same time everything
that I wanted to achieve through writing and as yet haven’t... I wanted to have
the third in the Hearts & Horse Trials series out a lot sooner, and as soon
as Taking the Reins (#2) was finished and published I began cracking on with #3,
but it now sits in my “waiting to be edited” pile as other things have taken
over!
I have had lots of enquiries from eager
readers wondering where #3 is, so I apologise for the wait and thank you all
for your patience J
I am currently working on a couple of other
projects but I cannot say much about them at the moment!
I often work on several projects at a time,
putting one down when I feel it getting stale and picking a new one to refresh
myself. It makes the journey from start to finish feel like less of a slog,
too, if I can work on it in sections. It takes a massive inner-strength (or at
least it did for me!) to take the plunge and publish a book to be read and
scrutinised by the world. It is not something that I have yet found gets
easier, after I released Good Intentions and then quickly afterwards, Taking the Reins, so I want to say thank you to everyone that takes the time to leave
a review, and especially those that tell all their friends how much they
enjoyed it! I do love hearing from readers, as writing can be incredibly lonely
otherwise!
Reviews mean an awful lot to me – even the
not so good ones – and I take everything on board. A few readers of the Hearts
& Horse Trials series have mentioned that they would like to hear more from
Frederick, so this is something I have strived to incorporate better in book #3.
Talking of Book #3...I need to go and get
on with it! Speak soon xoxo
p.s. for those not familiar with Hearts & Horse Trials, Just a Groom is book #1 - and the place to start ;-) you're welcome!
