Well the old year is over and here we go again.
I spent most of the holiday period writing my new book, it's up to 120 pages at present. It's a ghost story with a sexual element and is set in early victorian times. I make no bones about it, the looks of Emily, the heroine are based on the beautiful actress Jenna Coleman (of Dr Who fame). She didn't start out that way, but I have liked Jenna since her first appearance and when I read back through the description I recognised her immediately.
I don't plan things for my books, I let the story take me where it wants. This book started with the opening description of the house, as seen by the old man and nothing else no idea of a story or even that there might be a heroine.
When I got to the need for the Heroine I wanted her to be beautiful and have big eyes that draw you in, starting with that just led on to the other features (I hope she doesn't mind).
I cant tell you the title yet, I haven't settled on one and release date is likely to be late January/early February.
Oh well back to the writing, I want to find out how it ends :o)
Have a happy and prosperous New Year, but most of all be healthy.
