ElizaBeth Adams: her take on Julia’s Story

When I read the first few words of this review back at the end of May, I must admit I was a bit taken aback .... "All I have to say is, “Nooooooo!” Not, “No, don’t read this book,” or, “No, it isn’t any good.” “Nooooooo,” ...... AND THEN I COULD BREATHE A SIGH OF …

Thanks, Gatton, Laidley … and Ipswich #LitChat

One of the pleasures of an author's life is to have the opportunity to speak about their work and I've been doing that lately, at Gatton and Laidley Libraries in the Lockyer Valley on Friday 3rd November and now today at the Indie Author Expo at Ipswich Central Library. What a great resource the public …

Gatton, Laidley, Ipswich & Nowra – that’s where you’ll find me in November

The House of Secrets: Julia's Story and To Love, Honour & Betray - book 2 of the Belleville family saga. OK so I confess - I'm still struggling to balance my day job and my life as an author but November will be a busy month for Library visits in Queensland and NSW. If you …

To Love, Honour & Betray: now on Amazon

It's a great relief to have got to this point - having first been over optimistic about the timeframe for the release of book 2 of the Belleville family saga. I expect to have the real thing in my hands by the end of next week. First print run is in production. For those who …

No pictures, just a quick few words to say that my second book, following on from The House of Secrets: Julia's Story is well under way. It will contain a few surprises, I'm sure. I will let everyone know as soon as it is close to being published ....... a couple of months at most! …

Did you miss a bargain?

I haven't been very active on my blog of recent times .... my excuse: busy with the day job and then trying to find time to write Book 2 of the Belleville family saga. Plus getting a bad virus that knocked me down for a while. I attended the recent pop up bookshop in Caloundra …

Excuse me, but wasn’t I meant to spend the day writing?

It is a giant mistake to think you can give your website an update in half an hour. I tell you now that is impossible, so the several Sunday hours I should have spent with my characters, progressing their lives and loves, I instead spent updating my website and learning more about the capabilities of …

Thanks for the welcome, Laidley and Gatton

  So it's Sunday and I'm back in Brisbane and reflecting on my author talks at Laidley and Gatton on Friday. Click on the links to find out where these towns are. Gatton is best known for its agricultural college. As we drove through the area we were impressed by the neat rows and rows of …

Committed – no backing down now
