Easter Round Up: Reading, Writing and A Few Unexpected Visitors
How was your Easter?I hope you managed to find some time to unwind and do some of the thing you love.I was lucky enough to escape to Little Forest, my "other" home and spend some time with my family. We have a few acres with currently only a couple of very fat cows in residence. They were bought as calves and were supposed to be "moved on" around a year later but when my daughters named them and started feeding them they were destined to become part of the family.
We also had a few other "visitors" this weekend who happened to drop by:
To be honest I'm not a fan of snakes so when we found the metre plus skin of this fellow on our veranda I wasn't too impressed. But my family assure me that diamond pythons are harmless and the fact that when I did see him he was in a tree, not somewhere I was going to come across him face to face, I felt a lot happier.Apart from watching the wildlife and doing some cloud gazing
I managed to spend a couple of lazy mornings lying in bed and finished a book - The Girl In Steel Capped Boots by Loretta Hill. Loretta was a guest here on the blog a little while back which inspired me to try her books. This one is her debut novel, set in the remote mining district of the Pilbara in Western Australia. It features a strong heroine (tick), an interesting setting (tick), a cast of quirky characters (tick) and a very sexy love interest (TICK!). I won't spoil it by telling you the story but if you want to escape and lose yourself in a good story give it a try. I'm looking forward the reading the follow-up novel The Girl in The Hard Hat soon.
And apart form all that I did do some writing. I'm working on a new book which is set on the south coast of NSW. It's a work in progress so I won't reveal too much about it other than to say it involves a family secret, forbidden love and of course, a horse or two.Tomorrow my guest on Writer Wednesday will be romance writer Juliet Madison.Have a great week.
