First up, apologies for disappearing for so long. I like writing about perilous adventures, but I didn’t expect to be living through one. Well, not exactly perilous, but certainly involving a lot of unexpected effort, ending up in a new home in a different town.

The good news is that the third book in the French Legacy series is finally nearing completion – about time! More on this when I have a definite publication date.

Meanwhile, I am looking forward to indulging in all things literary at the upcoming WORD festival in Christchurch, New Zealand (25-29 August, https://wordchristchurch.co.nz/). As always, I am thankful to be living in New Zealand, where we are still free to come together in large numbers to celebrate our passions.

Fellow kiwis, hope to see you there!

Here are a few photos of Christchurch to whet the appetite. [Disclosure: these were taken earlier in the year – today it is raining, with the promise of snow.]
