What a dreadful weekend we have had on the beautiful Emerald Isle. The severe weather that had been predicted several days ago decided to show up with a vengeance. Gales, lashing rain and flash floods everywhere. Now I am not one to complain about the weather, as we are usually treated to a mild climate here, but flash floods when my car is a tiny fiat seicento, with about three inches to spare from the road, negotiating the floods was a little scary to say the least. I should have carried a paddle with me!!!
Never a lover of Monday's, preferring to reach Friday, I have suddenly been reminded by Createspace that I must review and approve my self published books once they arrive. Thank you Createspace, realisation has dawned, I am an almost published author!!
"Grandpa Miller," tells the story of a crofter in his twilight years, who comes face to face dramatically with his past. The story is set along the beautiful and sometimes treacherous banks of Lough Cuan in Northern Ireland.When a brutal storm attacks the Island, the devastation will prove to test the Islanders friendship and loyalty to the very limit. Will they ever be able to put the past behind them? It is time for Grandpa Miller to defeat his demons and come face to face with his responsibility's.
"A Lancashire Lass, Born To Be A Thorn," is the true story of my life growing up as a main child care giver to an extremely ill and debilitated mother. My story is not full of romantic notions, but it is based on fact and how I felt in those years. I am indeed no heroine and have a great deal to regret, and also to be thankful for. My mother was a brave, determined woman with strong morals, she was a lady of great courage, and I am now proud to be her daughter. Writing my story has taken me on a journey to hell and back, and I have to say, I am a far better person now than I was then.
Please keep checking this site for news of both of the books coming available from Amazon. If anyone would like a signed copy, please order via myself here or from my website www.lancashirelasssliterature@yolasite.com
Keep safe my friends until the next time. x
Annette,
ReplyDeleteJust found this one as well. Better late than not at all, yes? :)
I love that you drive a Fiat! LOL! They're one of my favorite autos and wish I had one myself!!!
That would make for a great pic too, by the way (hint, hint!) Can you tell I love photos? (Grin!)
If need be, let me know, I'll mail you a Texas paddle! It might take a while to get there because it might be bigger than your car. ;)
