Hi all:
We’ve left 2014 behind and most people tend to take stock of what happened the previous year and think about the future. Plenty of things happened to me last year (and I’m sure the same goes for all of you) but I wanted to look at my writing and books.
In January 2014 I published Escaping Psychiatry. This book is a compilation of three novellas (psychological thrillers) with the same protagonist, Mary, a psychiatrist and writer whose attempts at dedicating herself exclusively to writing are thwarted once and again by friends or circumstances that keep dragging her back (kicking and screaming) into psychiatry. The three novellas: Cannon Fodder, Teamwork, and Memory are quite different in subject and touch on abuse, racism, prejudice, police corruption, murder, serial killers, rape…
If you want to check in more detail you can always look inside or get a sample, here:
Or in paper:
This book is also my first one to be available as an audiobook:
And if you fancy listening to a sample you can check this video in You Tube:
In May 2014 I published a story that I had written a while back, but I felt was very appropriate to the times of surveillance and privacy invasion we live in, Family, Lust and Cameras. It’s a dark story of obsession, mind control and abusive relationships. Can you imagine what would you feel if your life became The Rear Window and you knew somebody was watching you all the time? Well, you can read this novella and see.
In September 2014 I published I Love Your Cupcakes, a sweet romance, where the three protagonists (Dulce, Adelfa and Storm) end up taking part in a TV baking competition and discover that one can find love in the most unlikely places. An upbeat and fun book to read, I recommend it if you’re having a fed-up day.
And in paper:
In November I took part in NaNoWriMo and won! I decided to write the third in a series of Young Adult/New Adult books I’ve been working on. For the time being the series is called Angelic Business and the books are: Pink Matters, Shapes of Greg and Pink, Demon or Angel?
As you can see I don’t have a cover yet, and as it’s going to be a series I’ll have to give it some thought.
I’ve published the draft of the first book in Wattpad (I’ll remove it when I publish it) and at the moment I’m editing and translating them all, with the plan of publishing them fairly close to each other…
Here is the link to the first one in Wattpad:

Ah, and I leave you the link to another story I also published in Wattpad that at the moment I’m not thinking of publishing anywhere else:

Now that I’ve told you what I’ve been doing and what I’m going to be doing, it’s time to wish you a Happy Year 2015, ask you about your projects and wish you good luck with them . And as always:
Thanks for reading, and you know what to do, like, share, comment, and if you fancy, CLICK!

I hope you have a great retirement. I agree that work interferes with the things we really like to do unless we happen to be very lucky. I never have enough time to read but when I manage to find any time for it I find it so rewarding. I hope you’ll have a big party!

Thanks Lorna. And thanks so much for the offer. I’m trying to focus on my next work due for publication (a new NA/YA series) and I might need to call a few favours in at the time. With regards to last year, a couple of things I had written before, but of course there were always the translations, editing and all the fun things….Happy weekend.
