The fact that I’ve been quiet, doesn’t mean I’ve been sitting still. Life has gotten a little busy, but I’m working my way through the editing; scrapping some things, rewriting others.

*insert emotional voice* I can hardly believe the moment is finally here. It has been a long road, but I can now say that the first draft of ‘Wavebreaker‘ (book II in the Stone War Chronicles) is done.

What better way to spend the summer holidays at the beach with the kids? The weather was gorgeous—not too hot, nice little breeze, just perfect. So, what do you do at the beach, you ask?
