I'm still here...

Despite other signs to the contrary.

But, you know, I've realised that I am better at taking pictures with words than with my camera. Not a surprise, I am sure, given how long it's been since I posted. I've been busy polishing The Secret Shopper Affair before sending it to my editor and agent (wish it luck on its journey); taking about a hundred different Spanish exams, all for the 'nivel basico' (my language school is brilliant but they do love testing); and working on a very exciting top secret project which I hope to post more on very, very soon.

Oh, and I've also been having a great time running my first online Women's Fiction creative writing course, which is proving very popular. If you want to sign up for the next time I present it (probably starting in September), take a look at the syllabus here- or leave me a message with any questions.

In the meantime, I am posting a couple of pics from our trip to sunny Valencia this weekend (and not an orange in sight).
