Hello there and welcome to my author website!

Thank you for popping in, it’s nice to have you here!

I started my little website so I can fulfil my passion for writing and as a place where my readers can find me. I hope to keep the website updated with information about what I'm working on, fun promotions and generally things that I'm interested in that I'd like to share with you.

After years, months and days of procrastination, I finally completed writing my very first fiction book in 2022, and have now entered the fascinating (if a little daunting) world of self-publishing. The title of the first book is Getting Away and the book is a Contemporary Romance/Rom-Com idea I've had for years that I've finally put down on paper. I have followed this up with book two, A Place in Greece, and I'm currently working on the second and third books in the series which is lots of fun.

This blog is not only to make myself accountable but also to track my progress, from novice novelist to best-selling, multi-award-winning author, and you, my friend are coming along for the ride, you lucky thing!

I jest of course but I will be using these pages to diary my journey along the way, noting the problems and pitfalls, questions and solutions that will hopefully lead to a modicum of success. It will also sometimes just be me waffling on about stuff, sorry about that.

If I can gather some followers or like-minded souls along the way, that will be nice. So welcome aboard, buckle up and scream if you want to go faster.

Sindy Loves Getting Away

Sindy Loves Getting Away

**SORRY THIS PROMOTION HAS NOW ENDED**

Being a child of the 70's and 80's I was brought up on a diet of Smash, Space Hoppers and Sindy Dolls. So when my good friend Liz from @Sindylovesstyle asked if I would like to join her for a fun promotion of my book Getting Away, I jumped at the chance!

SindyLovesStyle is a fun Instagram page which shows Sindy at her fabulous best taking part in everyday events such as shopping, camping and even yoga! Liz has a great eye for creating dioramas in Sindy size and even recreates scenes from famous movies. Check out this one from Thelma & Louise.

For this month's challenge in the Sindy Instagram community (yes there really is one), the theme is 'Occupations'. For 'A' Liz has decided on 'Author' and has suggested we (and by that I mean she with a little bit of assistance from me), create a scene with "Sindy Amelia", penning her novel, Getting Away.

For 'B' we will see a Bookshop Owner selling copies of Getting Away as Amelia comes in for a book signing. Of course, there will be masses of other Sindys queuing around the block to get their hands on a copy. Genius, eh? 

For my part of the bargain, and to add even more fun to the proceedings we've decided to do a real-life GIVEAWAY of a personalised signed copy of the full-sized Getting Away paperback and, get this, one of the teeny-weeny Amelia Sindy books we are using in the promo! (sorry they don't have separate pages, they are just for props!).

Check out Amelia Sindy tapping away on her laptop, creating her next masterpiece. I do most of my writing early in the morning before work so Amelia Sindy is dressed in her fancy silk pyjamas. I only wish I looked half as glamorous as that when I'm writing on my sofa. And that writing bureau is every author's dream!

All you need to do to enter the prize-draw is follow the steps below:

If you were, or are still, a fan of all things Sindy, or like me, are fascinated to view the world in miniature, head on over to @Sindylovesstyle and check out her page. I guarantee it will make you smile.

Move over Barbie, there's a new (old) chick in town and she's a fabulous author!!
