A huge thank you to all of you who have agreed to receive notification when published. Also special thank you for popping along and catching up with what's going on in my world.
Are you like me, wondering if it will ever stop raining? I don't know about you, but these months of rain have about finished my off! I don't need new shoes, I now have web feet and waterproof feathers!
Yet despite the weather, nature is full of spring. Everywhere there are blooms nodding their heads in the breeze, though I think they are shacking off the rain drops. *laughs* I love this burst of life. Along the river where we live, the willow trees are splendid with their new bright yellow leaves. They are the first to say hello to spring and the last to shed their leaves as winter pushes in.
Whilst we enjoy the riot of spring, it is also wonderful to have the lighter evenings now the clocks have gone forward. It's a such a positive time of year.
It's been a busy month with my latest writing project. Tormentors.
At this point in my newsletter, I love to share a few of the photos I have taken recently.
With regard to my newsletter, if you do agree to allow me to send a link to your email address to let you know it is out, I want to reassure you that you can unsubscribe at any time, just email me and say remove me. Also I will NEVER use your email other than if I need to email you. I will never share with anyone else.
As to the content, it is designed to be fun with me sharing: my photos, snippets of information, offers or free books from award winning authors, a design or two I have created using my Photoshop and anything else that I think might interest you. It is not about my opinion on any matter. I want my newsletter to make you smile and leave you with a warm feeling.

Love,
lies and gambling!
Bertie Costain has worked hard all
his life in the building trade and now owns his own London-based company. In 1967,
approaching fifty and still unmarried he enjoys a playboy lifestyle, but when
he meets Kitty, an attractive, wealthy widow ten years his senior, he swiftly
proposes.
Swept off her feet, Kitty adores
him. The happy couple seem to have it all, but Bertie has a secret. Kitty has
no idea their home is mortgaged to the hilt, or that the many expensive gifts
he brings her come out of his winnings at roulette. Proud of his apparent success and ignorant of
his gambling addiction, she happily loans him large sums of money, ostensibly
for his business.
Convinced with each spin of the
wheel that his run of bad luck will change, Bertie gambles for increasingly
high stakes, falling deeper and deeper into debt until, facing financial ruin
and with nowhere to turn, he resorts to fraud. As their lives begin to unravel,
Kitty learns the horrifying truth.
Available in Kindle and paperback
This Month's book worth checking out!
As Yalka faces the darkness of her captivity, her loyal friend Eylese learns of her plight and sets out on a daring mission to rescue her. However, just as Yalka manages to escape disaster strikes when Peglar is captured and brought before Ragul, now the despotic ruler of the city. He is condemned to die by hanging at the next full moon. Peglar's fate appears sealed and despair grips the hearts of the lovers as they face the looming spectre of their separation, possibly forever.
Night falls on the eve of the full moon and a crowd gathers to witness the horror. The ritual begins and Peglar mounts the scaffold. All seems lost but then as the moon rises an unexpected twist of fate sets off a startling and unexpected chain of events.
In this exciting tale, treachery and undying love collide, loyalties are tested, sacrifices made, and the power of the human spirit shines bright against the backdrop of a corrupt society. Will Yalka and Peglar find a way to reunite and rewrite their destiny? The answer lies under the hanging moon.

I have, once again, signed up to do the 10km Norwich run in September.
This year I hope to be able to raise funds for Red Balloon, Drayton Road, Norwich. Details to follow.
In light of this, I am back on on the streets, if it would only stop raining, it would be so much more fun!
