I’m in the midst of rewrites at the moment for my rom com, The Runaway Actress, which is going to be published in the UK in April.  I’m very excited about this novel – it’s about a famous movie star who swaps Hollywood for the Highlands in an attempt to find out who she truly is.  It’s been enormous fun to write and I can’t wait until it hits the shelves in 2012.

It’s been rather chaotic here over the last couple of weeks.  Not only are we attempting to move house and being thwarted each and every way we turn but two of our pets have been ill too.  Our dear spaniel, Molly, had a tumour on her spleen and had a big operation to remove both.  We nearly lost her and she looked so unwell, dear girl, but she’s making a really good recovery.  But more bad news followed and the vet discovered a lump which has to be removed so another operation is awaiting her.  

And our special hen, Dolly Clare, is unwell too.  We have some medication for her but she’s lost a lot of weight and is very fragile. 

So, anxious times here and not a great environment in which to write but stories don’t write themselves so one has to do one’s best and just get on with it.
