Everyone on my mailing list will be receiving a little Evangeline Christmas treat in their inbox soon, ‘An Awfully Evangeline Christmas’ short story.
Up to her neck in Christmas preparations, Miss Plockton asks Evangeline to run an errand for her. A trip to the bakery for a few special treats for the Professor
The errand sounds simple enough, but of course, Evangeline and Mei find trouble in the most unlikely places.
So if you’d like a little bit of Christmassy silly fun, sign up here.
Sometimes all my writing efforts land at once and it’s been one of those weeks.
Not only did the new adventure Evangeline and the Mysterious Lights (and the new collection The Antics of Evangeline) go live, but I had articles published on Roads and Kingdoms, and FolkloreThursday.com.
For Roads and Kingdoms, I wrote about my own private Albanian breakfast and reliving holidays through food.
For FolkloreThursday.com, I continued my series on superstitions with ‘opening an umbrella inside’.
Sky Goddesses, Spring Mechanisms, or Sprites: Why Is it Bad Luck to Open an Umbrella Inside?
And coming later in October, I’m launching my writing craft podcast ‘Write Through the Roof’. The process of learning how to produce a podcast has been surprisingly fun and I’m reminded of how I used to play ‘radio stations’ with my cassette recorder in the 1980s. It’s reinforced the theory that your passions lie in the things you liked to do as a child.
And don’t forget if you like the Evangeline stories, please vote in the Christmas story poll. At the moment, it’s neck and neck between three side kicks!
Happy reading and writing!
Would you like a little taster of Evangeline and the Mysterious Lights? A wee amuse-bouche?
Well, here’s an extract from Chapter 1.
If you like what you read, Evangeline and the Mysterious Lights is available for pre-order now and is out 11th October 2017.
Or if you’d like all four novellas in one Collection, The Antics of Evangeline is also available for pre-order.
I’m back in the swing of this writing thing after a brilliant holiday and so what’s next for me?
Origins of Common Superstitions monthly series
I’m writing a monthly series for the fabulous Folklore Thursday exploring the origins of common superstitions.
So far, I’ve written about;
· Bad Luck comes in Threes: Matches, Murderers or Mathematics
· The Origins of ‘Touch Wood’: Tree Spirits, The True Cross, or Tag?
And there’s another eight more to come….
