Because I know it will be a bit of a hotch potch.
No, not hop scotch,

hotch potch.
(and that I can not find a picture for.)
This and that. With a bit of the other added in.
To that,
I can now thankfully say I am just about lurgy free.

Very few sneezes and I feel, well if not 100% a good 90+
And, I have some energy.
It's a pity it's too icy to venture out. However, hearing and seeing the geese flying over in their various skeins, is fabulous and I never tire of seeing them. There's always one who refuses to conform. Does his own thing and then flaps—and honks—madly, as he (or she) tries to rejoin the rest.

Luckily we did manage a couple of walks by the coast this week. Absolutely freezing, but gorgeous. It really made me appreciate how lucky we are. To live near the sea and to be able to visit it in all seasons, and weather. We've even been walking on the beach and had snow! Sorry, no I didn't take a picture, I was more concerned in dodging the tide and getting back to the car before I was totally soaked.
That's just the beach on a cold clear, day.
The upshot of all this is I'm now ready to get stuck into a new story. I just have to make my mind up on what.
But before I went round and round in circles, trying to decide and getting nowhere fast, I had some fantastic news.
One of my very early books, which has been out of print for years, is to be revamped. Revised, rewritten and brought up to date. Then published.
To say I'm excited is an understatement. I love the premise of the story but it definitely needs something doing to it.
Luckily, the lovely Deadra of Bastet's Quill Publishing agrees and is happy to help me to do everything we both think is needed to make it shine. In fact, it's all down to her and her insight that it's going to be possible.
I know I'm going to have a busy few months, but I'm really looking forward to it. And then hopefully, at the end, we'll have a m/m, mystical and very sexy book for you all to enjoy. Watch this space.
Apart from that I've a good few ideas to think about. I just need to concentrate on one and not keep rereading the lot!
Wish me luck.
Meanwhile, I'm having a whale of a time, playing catch up with an old series, because I've got an idea for another story in mind. Another book in the Devon trilogy.
Will it work?
Now, that I'm not sure about. but I bet I can have fun trying to find out.
On another tack, it's six years since the late, great, and fabulous author, my bestie, Doris O'Connor passed. Even now I talk to her in my mind and hear her advice. Usually it's along the lines of, 'stop waffling, woman and get on with it'.
So the only answer, is yes, I promise.
Doris I miss you,
love Raven xxx
