What's Happening?
My poetry club were on top form, and their performance of the ' Witches' song' from Macbeth went down well. Bless them. They are aged between eight and nine.
As it is the summer and I'm feeling great, I'm using lighter colours in my blog.
Well, I'm still working on my viking eBook but it's slow going. The story line is a bit dark, and I'm not in the mood for that kind of work.
So, having written a Western, a few years back, I have been proofreading it, and will be putting it online in August, maybe. Seriously, not used to having hot weather, it is making want to get out in the sunshine, which is hindering my writing.
However, we only have a few months of sunshine, so I feel it is important to make the most of it.
I also have a novel that is raunchier than I normally write, so I'm wondering what to do with that. It started off alright, but my characters evolved and led me in a different direction, so who knows, you may see it, or you may not.

Summer
Time to sort the wheat from the chaff.
Looking to take down a few of my eBooks to make way for some new work.
However, fair warning will be given, in case you would like to get them, and it won't be until Sept/October.
How is my viking eBook coming?
It's the end of term soon, and that means I'm busy, busy, busy. Plus the guys in my poetry club are doing their rendition of the witches' song from 'Macbeth' and we are rehearsing.
They are performing it tomorrow, so fingers crossed for them - dress rehearsal today.
So, my eBook is not progressing as it should.
There's that thing called LIFE getting in the way again.
But I wouldn't have it any other way, or would I?
Only 99p on kindle eBooks, Barnes and Noble, Smashwords, Kobo and Apple books.
When Sarah’s marriage hits the rocks, she finds solace in drinking coffee and eating fancy cakes; and when things get tough, albeit loosely, her coffee habit is instrumental in saving the day.

An Extract from ' Taking a Chance' by Susan Williams.
Only £2.25 on Kindle eBooks, Smashwords, Apple Books and Barnes and Noble
Through swollen eyes, Mary watched him stagger down the alley and she waited until he was out of sight before she got up, then she dragged her frail body to the river and scrubbed herself for an hour. But no amount of water could wash away the pain and humiliation she felt inside, nor could it take away the fear that one day, she would catch some dreadful disease from him.

As promised, an extract from 'Tales of Romance in a Virtuous Era.' by Susan Williams, free on kindle eBooks until Tuesday 25th June.
An extract from the second story in the book.
‘Sit down Ann and
tell me what ails you. What on earth possessed you to make a fool of yourself
like that?’
Ann took a sip of
the wine he’d given her before saying, ‘You love Grace, don’t you?’
‘What sort of
question is that? I’m very fond of Grace, but you know as well as I, that
nothing can come of it.’
‘Do I?’
‘Ann, what’s the
matter? Tell me.’
‘Do you love her,
yes or no!’
‘Yes, I think I
do.’
‘I can’t bear to
see you two together and if she was to kiss you, I don’t know what I’d do.’
Luther sighed.
Then the full realisation of what she was saying hit him, and he stood up and
said, ‘You love her, don’t you? How long have you known?’
‘Yes, I love
her,’ she said vehemently, as she stood up and walked to the window. ‘But don’t
you dare tell her. My life would be over if she knew.’
‘But why do you
treat her so badly?’
‘I don’t mean
too, it’s just that I get so jealous. Oh Luther!'
I can’t be sure,
but I don’t think she likes you in that way Ann. But if she did, I fear you
have alienated her forever with your inexcusable behaviour.’

What's Next?
I have several stories that need proofreading, but I've started writing a romance set in the Viking and Anglo Saxon era, and I'm going to concentrate on getting that out by the middle of August; it will be my Summer project, while I am on holiday from school.
At least I think it's a romance. At least for now, because my heroine isn't having such a great time, in fact, I would go as far as to say, that her life is miserable.
I'm looking forward to seeing what happens to her, for I write as I go, so I am surprised by the ending. lol
Obviously, I have an idea of where I want to go, but I like to go with the flow, which is why my heroine and hero do not always end up together. I hope my Anglo Saxon heroine will end up with someone.
My husband has started painting my cover and I'm excited.
Updates to follow... sometime.

As promised, an extract from ' Girl from the Kip;
Mollie filled her
dry mouth with saliva and walked over to the man and said humbly, ‘May I have a
word sir?’
The man looked at
her and recognising her straight away, and feeling a little embarrassed, he
said firmly, ‘Madam, we have nothing to talk about.’ Then he started to walk
away.
‘I owe you an
apology,’ she shouted above the noise of the market, and he turned around.
‘Now you’re
talking.’
‘I may have been
a bit hasty.’
He raised one
eyebrow and frowned, and feeling embarrassed, she said, ‘Alright, I jumped to
conclusions and I’m sorry.’
‘Apology
accepted, now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go. I haven’t got time to speak to
washerwomen.’
Hackles raised,
she said vehemently, ‘Washerwoman! I’m not a bloody washerwoman.’
He smiled, he’d
guessed she wasn’t, but intended to have a bit of fun at her expense and said,
‘What do you do then? Are you a lady of the night?’
‘You need to hold
your tongue sir. I may be a woman, but I can fight as good as any man.’
He smiled, then said
sarcastically, ‘I don’t doubt that for a minute.’
