Favorite  Highlight of the Month:  My Dreams Came True! The biggest thing that happened throughout January was definitely getting my second novel in my hands!  Finally!  I even got the ISBN bar code!  I couldn't be more thrilled! There's still a fair bit of polishing the book needs to go through before I can start going further with it - but then, my friends, it will be available for everyone to enjoy! Favorite  Goal of the Month:  Getting Fit! I started taking USN supplements to help me get fit and toned...... it didn't last long.  I now have a box filled with protein shakes, capsules and tablets that I'm not going to use.  Before you think I flaked - let me explain...  Did you know America refuses to stock USN??? They claim that what USN says it can do, it can't. God knows if that is true - I'm just repeating something that I was told.... The images they show you of the 12-week results do seem seriously far-fetched anyway.  So now...

You know those days where you wake up and you just want to cry? For no apparent reason at all? Well... this pretty much sums up how I feel today: I lay in bed this morning and just had a good cry. My life is so up in arms right now - above and beyond trying to stick out the next couple of months in this hell hole I call home with a desk job I love but right now just want to run away from, I'm also busy editing my novel and let me tell you that picking apart my book straight after finishing it is completely soul destroying. Why else do I feel like this??? Well, because I'm so frustrated that I actually fear for the lives of anybody that comes across me today. Let me explain..... I just realized that I've only been back from my first travels of 2015 for ELEVEN days.. and already it feels like I've been back for a lifetime.  I guess that's when you know there's a problem. Can you remember when you were a kid? Around Christmas time or your birthday... you'd writ...

The world has shifted on its axis. Pigs have flown.  Jade has stopped drinking.  No, I'm not joking. I've finally had enough of getting home after work every night and heading straight for our old hardwood, bar and shoving a corkscrew into a bottle of wine.  I am nearly 24 years old and for the past few years of my life, I have been drinking wine almost every night. In actual fact, I think in the last 1460 days (rough figure... don't judge me) I have probably abstained from drinking a mere 3 nights in total.  I've been kidding myself and thinking that it's OK. I'm a writer, it's what I'm supposed to do. I mean, you watch movies or read books about the surly, introvert writers that hide out in their darkened, dusty dens and tap away at their typewriters while swigging straight from a bottle. Well, after living in that pathetic stereotype for the majority of my life now my poor liver must be shot! I'm probably being dramatic.... I only have two-three ...

Amid the exclusive villas and searing heat of the Spanish summer, four women discover there's no such thing as a level playing field when it comes to love...  For Jasmine, engaged to her footballer fiance, her dream wedding should be just the chance she needs to bury her secrets in the past. Lila gave up everything for marriage. In return she got a gorgeous movie star husband, two beautiful children - and a broken heart. All Maxine wants is that ring on her finger. But is she chasing the wrong dream? And what journalist Grace can't tell you about being a mistress isn't worth knowing. Just how far will these senoritas go to get what they want...? My Review: From rags to riches, infidelity, heart-break, saucy scandal and sexy scenes that would put Fifty Shades to shame - I must say, I adored this book.  Wives V Girlfriends has pretty much everything you could want in a book: Romance, drama, glitz, glam, action, thrill and even a gripping slice of horror. It is the furthest t...

Here it is... the moment of truth! After getting such wonderful feedback on different cover options for my novel from all of you in November 2014 (take a look at what the options were HERE ), I finally decided on one set image and had the book cover designed and the pages bound.  "The truly good stories in life are the one's where the characters go through a certain amount of turmoil and pain.  A story becomes amazing when said characters overcome all that they have had to go through. All that's left is the ending... Good or bad? In our situation, we have no idea how it will end. I'm really hoping for a great ending, but in the meantime, we just need to keep writing.  The story needs to have pain and conflict. There are still so many pages to go until we see the end." Tabitha's life was at a standstill. The sun, surfing, photography and driving through the same streets every day had gotten her stuck in a rut.  When she met Ezra, she had no idea that her life w...

Travel is life.  I think by now most of you know this as my life motto.  I was recently inspired by a company called  RelayRides  to do a post based on travel must-haves. They are such a convenient company that offers car rentals straight from the airport. What better way to start your road-trip than with a reliable, clean and ready-to-go car waiting for you just outside of arrivals?! If you're interested in booking a car rental through them then follow the link below: RelayRides Airport Rentals Not only that, but you can actually make money by submitting your car into their rental agency! Insurance? You get a RelayRides insurance card which you put in your glove-box which takes care of that.  So anyway, after being so impressed with their company, I had to do a bit of a travel must-have's post for my blog. Every traveler's list will be unique.  We all have different things that are important to us - so today I am sharing mine with you! I hope you enjoy it!...
