book 5 is AVAILABLE NOW!!

Good morning all

Yes, book 5 is now available and on the Book 5 Tab, the first twenty or so pages are there for you to have a tasty little sample...

Sorry it took longer than I thought, real life stepped in and I've been pretty busy.

As for those who have been asking me about book 6, no, it is nowhere near properly started!! I do have around 1 page done but that's it!! I do promise to work on it now book 5 is up and running...

I do enjoy reading your comments, so please keep them coming and I am trying to reply to everyone who does email me, so please be patient or put URGENT in the subject field.

I am open to suggestions for a scenario or plot you would like to see so please send any recommendations you may have.

I hope you had a lovely Easter

update

good afternoon all

well, I have finally secured 3 days per week (paid!!) employment and I get to work from home which is wonderful!! I help injured workers get back into their jobs and I have to do a some travel, make lots of phone calls and write heaps of reports!!

I've also enrolled in Certificate 4 Workplace Health and Safety course, which runs 2 nights a week and has many, many assignments.

Unfortunately, all this work cuts into my story writing time!!

Fortunately I'll soon be able to afford to pay my bills and have some money to spend on a present for my wonderfully supportive partner!!

Book 5 is progressing well, I've completed a cover for it and the final proof is in progress! I'm not promising a specific date for its release but I do promise to have it available asap.

PLEASE REMEMBER:

** IF YOU NEED THE BOOKS IN A FORMAT OTHER THAN PDF, LET ME KNOW AND I'LL HAPPILY SEND IT TO YOU.
** IF YOU CAN'T USE PAYPAL LET ME KNOW AND WE'LL DISCUSS ALTERNATE OPTIONS

I'm doing my best to answer your emails as quickly as possible but if you require something quickly, please put URGENT in the subject heading.

Thanks for your support and wonderful comments on my work and please keep letting me know if you like my stories or would like to see a particular situation/scenario developed in them.

Have a wonderful week

Book 5 - another update

Afternoon again

Book 5 is going really well, I've done 169 pages and my target is 200ish. I have one more main section to do which should bring the page count pretty close to the mark.

After that I can go back and add in the little personal bits that make the characters so appealing.

This book spends some time with the four kids (but not too much!!) and, of course, Tarra, Chandra, Lili and Tashan.

Some of the characters (ok not some, it's more like a dozen!!) leave the story but Bec (my character conscience) made me promise not to kill them. So I just leave them behind.

I know my covers for books 3 & 4 are amaturish but the are my work. The fairy and dragon are my second attempts at sketching and I'm pretty bloody pleased with the way they turned out! Thank you for the compliments and yes, I do plan to do something for book 5. I just have no idea what yet!! 

I hope to have the novel ready for sale by the end of March, if not before.

Please keep sending me your thoughts on my work, I enjoy hearing from you.

Denise

Happy Valentines Day!

Happy Valentines to you.

I hope you get to spend time with your special somebody tonight.

I know I am...

Price of Novels

Afternoon all

I'm stoked you like my characters!! They are kickass amazing, eh?

Thank you so very much to the people who have purchased my work and to those who have scolded me for not charging enough for the novels!!


You were so correct, these stories are worth more, so the price per book is now $5.00 (Australian).

Please keep sending me emails to make suggestions or recommendations, I enjoy talking to you guys!

Update on book 5 - Warriors of the Phoenix

Good evening all

Just a little message to let you know how the next installment of the Tarranna Series is going.

I'm up to page 86 at the moment. This book is a bit slower than the rest as real life is catching up with me and I'm getting distracted very easily!

Good news is I've got new eyes (glasses) being made (may take two weeks!) so it should be a lot less painful (headaches) when I write.

Bad news is after redoing the formatting and proofing the previous four books I'm finding it hard to get back into my writing rythmn. It is slowly coming back though.  :-)  :-)

If you would like me to post small, segment samples please post comments letting me know. But if you do, just remember they will be beefed out and changes made when the finished product is ready!!

Take care everyone

Denise

Flooding in Queensland

evening everyone

The last few days have been very wet and windy here on the Gold Coast. We have a creek running behind the house, it came into our yard last night and the wind was gale force.

We were extremely lucky there was no damage.

Not like so many other people around this area.

The families of the deceased are in our thoughts and our best wished go to the people whose homes are about to be filled with water.
