I’ve had quite a few e-mails from people who are responding to something on my blog. I don’t know why they don’t want to put their thoughts out there for others to read, especially if they are authors. Blogging as a guest gives you a wide audience, if you have a book to promote. It’s also great for people (like me) who are in solitary occupations and need to network for their mental health.

The RWA conference in July: I’m giving it a pass this time around. I can’t face all the hassle at airports and the cut-backs in service. Apart from that, I have to finish this manuscript - the third in my Scottish series. Deadlines - the bane of  a writer’s existence. I loved the movie Stranger than Fiction because I can easily see myself as the character Emma Thompson plays.

I’ve heard through another blog that one of my readers can’t find my books at Borders or Barnes & Noble. Anyone else having difficulty finding my books? Let me know and I’ll get onto my editor at Berkley.
