News - The Last Girl Guide

Hi all,

A Writers Life - Disasters

Okay, so this week has been a busy week, I planned the complete outlines of the five books that I intended to work on over the next twelve months and even got their cover designs drafted.

Cover Design for my new
Thriller Series - Hoyle & Son

I downloaded a new scrivener app so that I could sync my work onto my iPad for when I had a flash of inspiration and no laptop handy. I was feeling pretty happy with myself, smug even. 

Then, just like there really was some Amish-like God up there waving his divine finger at me and tut-tutting at my shameful display of pride - KERPOW! Everything fell apart. 

Cover design for the third
in the Afterland Chronicles
Series - Ice & Fyre

Maybe I did worship at the feet of that false God of 'Technology' a little too enthusiastically - recklessly even, but the punishment was harsh. My new syncing app synced all of my work into oblivion, including the first five chapters of Ice and Fyre. I am not ashamed to tell you I cried like a beauty queen only not so prettily. 

So, instead of spending the day busily writing as originally planned, I spent the next eight hours trying to recover my work. After googling thousands of 'solutions' to my problem, trawling through hundreds of backup files and performing various geeky technological gymnastics, I got most of it back. Though it appears that the first Chapter of Ice and Fyre sadly, is lost forever. 

Trying to remember a couple of thousand words that you wrote a few weeks ago seems an impossible task especially when those words were painstakingly crafted to resolved the cliffhanger left at the end of Ryte of Passage, So now I have to rewrite it....

Looks like this week is going to be another busy week - doubly so because I'm going to backup the hell out of everything!

Ascension of the Whyte mentioned in Vlog

Proof Copies of Ascension of the Whyte Arrive!

Well here they are, the proof copies of Ascension of the Whyte, ready for the final proofing.

So far I have discovered a few errors including one major omission ... The page numbers!  Hopefully I have now addressed all the issues and can approve the publication of the novel in paperback by the end of the month.

So if you are one of the "I like the feel of a real paper book" people, then you should be able to get your hands on a copy shortly. Until then the book is available on Amazon for Kindle, check out the links on the sidebar.
