The Loch Torridon Murder

I have managed a total of 24,210 words so far. I am really pleased I have got so far.  I shall try and keep going to the end of November and see if I can achieve the full 50,000 but at the moment I do not think the story will get there! Who knows a few weeks to go yet.

I am looking for a good end to this murder as it is a complicated Government Murder! One I have been wanting to write for some time.

Thinking of stories for the future, have you noticed that when members of the Government start talking about this Country, they never seem to have any idea where Yorkshire or Tyneside or Lancashire are.  They obviously have been told it is up North, but have no idea what is going on in these regions,nor even where abouts “up north” they actually are!

I saw an article in the paper over the weekend, and which ever MP had written the report should go back to school to learn how to read a Map! He had not got a clue which part of the North the areas were in!

Take care, have fun.

Merlin being more his old self!

NaNoWriMo

I have achieved only 16,223 words so far, so probably won’t make the target required, but I shall keep trying until the last day possible!  I am really trying to get a good book from this work and hopefully I will as the story I have started is one I have wanted to do for so long!  The Title is:The Loch Torridon Murder.

I shall just have to try harder tomorrow! I won’t stop trying until I know I can’t possible achieve the 50,000 until then – I will keep writing!

I am really enjoying having a deadline, something to work towards.  I have not had to have deadlines before.

Take care, have fun.

NaNoWriMo – The Torridon Murder

The first time I have had a “strict” deadline but I am seriously trying to keep this deadline, you can start to upload a story from the 20th November 2014, whether I will make the target figure of 50,000 words is another matter.

The important thing is at least you are having ago and seeing what you can produce in the time scale provided.  If you don’t quiet make the 50,000 – it is unfortunate but not life threatening.  You will just have to try harder next time!

Just like being back at school – with “could do better!” on the paperwork!

Good luck to everyone who is thinking of submitting a story.

Take care,have fun.

Merlin does not think I have a chance in a Million of keeping the deadline,

just wait and see Merlin!!

It is National Novel Writing time again!

I have started a lengthy Novel  – The Loch Torridon Murder.

Whether I ever get to the finish, who knows but I aim to have a jolly good try!

It is a particular story I have wanted to write for sometime and never got around to, so I am going to try and complete it, this time! Well if I don’t it, is no one’s life, is it!

Take care, have fun.

Merlin can tell tales,but I do not always understand them! Then he gives me this “Look” he seems to have cultivated!

Writing Books!

Writing Books!.

Writing Books!

Have you ever had a Murder Story and you have had all the twists and turns and finally thought the story was completed, and then you found that if you carried on a little  further you could go bring other people into the mix and go around the corner and add to the nature of the death etc.,

I sat down yesterday and thought I would add one or two “finishing bits” to my story, and when I looked again this morning, I added a bit more and I am still going around corners and finding interesting twists and turns!  I keep doing things like this, and then find if I did  XYZ I could get back to G and if I went this way I could be at  P!

Well at least I am keeping myself busy if nothing else!

Take care, have fun.

Merlin, making sure I know he is not best pleased!

The Church Murder

I have finally managed to publish THE CHURCH MURDER, it should show on Amazon.co.uk and also Goodreads later today.

This Murder story is slightly different, although it does have Forensics in.

The Clergy are heavily involved and there appears to be rival fractions of the hierarchy who have influenced this particular murder, and not for the good of their own people!

I hope you will enjoy the story.

Take care, have fun.

Merlin is scowling because he thought he was being left out!

The Murder in Church!

My latest eBook – The Murder in Church will be published on Amazon on Thursday,23rd October 2014.

Some of my family do not think I should have a story which states a Murder in Church!  Why when we relate to three periods of our life in which our Church is heavily involved, when you are born you are Christened, then Married and then when you die, you may have a church service and then a burial, or you could have a church service and then be cremated as my Daddy was.

Once you are born, whether a human being or animals -you will eventually die! That is a true fact.

When you will actually die is down to other factors in your life, Murder, illness, accident.Or just good Old Age!

Therefore I have kept to the title of The Murder in Church! I hope you will like the story.

Take care, have fun.

Merlin was so shocked with my answer,I do not think he is speaking to me!

New technology for writing blogs/Posts/Books!!

Do you have a “pet” hate? I have  – my COMPUTER – it is far more clever than I am or ever will be!

I have been using computers for years, even when we “shared” a computer from my University with another Northern University – we called it George and when it broke down a message used to appear saying George was poorly!  Those were the days!

I have a new Book coming out in November which is Book Two of The Middlesmoor Murders. which I hope you will enjoy.

Book Two will be an EBook the same as Book One.

Book One and Book Two of The Middlesmoor Murders will also be published together in Paperback.

Take care, have fun.

Merlin was so shocked with my answers!

I have to say that Merlin causes problems with my computer – he tried to tap the keyboard – at the wrong moment!

Blogs right or wrong!

How do you “make” anyone tell you the truth about your writing.  If you ask the family, friends, other writers even, the vital question – “What do you think of my story”.  You receive the answer they think/know you wish to hear!

It is lovely to have them say – yes it is really good.  Only after a while you are back to square one because you are saying to yourself – they have only said that because they think that is what I need to hear!

You are then back full circle, it is like that with anything in life, but more so I believe in your “writing life”.  Why?- when good constructive thoughts could sometimes make a big difference to the way you write the final paragraph!

Just do not say what my daughter is always saying to me – Mummy you are far too old to write!   I am too old to write, then I am too old to do anything, which makes me thing – I can do what I want, if I am too old!

Therefore I shall just continue to do what I have been doing all along! Not take any notice of anyone who says “don’t you think you are far too old to do that” – The very short answer is NO!  – you would not like the full answer, no really you would not!

Take care, have fun.
