January has been so busy!
My book, ErRatic, was contracted by Five Star just before Christmas, and life's been full on ever since. I've had rewrites to do, plus I have a book to finish for Linden Bay Romance as well, called In Flames. Everything has to be rewritten, neatly packaged and tidily ready to go to these two publishers by the end of February.
Which is good, but a little nerve-wracking! I'm scared to blow this in some way, but I'm going to do my best to produce a couple of quality books.
I've also been working on promotion. Firstly, book trailers. I've done one for my latest release, In Trysts, the prequel to In Flames. You can see it at one of my author websites, MelodyKnight.com , or at http://flash-movies.toufee.com/mov/32861168994619 . I also did one for my friend Jane, author of Be My Valentine (www.janebeckenham.com) at http://flash-movies.toufee.com/mov/36371169692268 . I really enjoyed doing these! They were time-consuming, but really fun.
I'm painting again. Not the best work, but I think it will get better. I just haven't had much practice in such a long time that I'm not very good at it. Still, my worst critics are my kids, and they seem to like the one I just produced (no pic yet, sorry!), which encourages me to carry on. Maybe it's just that I'm under work pressure at the moment for my writing, but it makes me keen to be at the easel!
Other things: archaeology study again, beginning late February. I'm very excited about it. Should be thrilling!
You can find excerpts for my books on my main website (www.NDHansen-Hill.com), including the one for ErRatic. I have an R17 excerpt on my Melody site, too.
