Update of the new novel 'The Liberty Bodice'

I thought I was there with 'The Liberty Bodice' only to find that it needs more edit,edit,edit. Funny thing with writing you give it your all and then need to squeeze out yet more. With all the re-writes and edits, and proofing I hope there is still a story left. I want it to be a good read, so I really don't mind all the comments, to help me get there. Went to see Auntie Peggy today, well for the first time that I can remember she has had to come off the alcohol. At first I thought this to be unkind to an 88yr. old, who has drunk alcohol all of her adult life, but she looked so well and didn't seem to be missing it at all. She did however mention that someone might slip her some in clandestinely. I hope matron doesn't see.

THE LIBERTY BODICE.

Hello, I must tell you how my latest novel is coming along. It's a bit slow, but was in need of more edit,edit,edit. That's apparently the key. It should be absolutely A.O.K. when finished. Enjoy the rest of this week, weather here in the U.K. is changing from the high temperatures and balmy days to being colder and extremely windy down here in the South of England. Goodbye for now.

Monday, August 4, 2014

Good afternoon, I am still putting the final touches to my next novel 'The Liberty Bodice.' Then I need to find a publisher. That is always more difficult than you would think.
I do have a few contacts, and hope that the book will be published as both an eread and a paperback.
Keep watching this page and I will let you know as soon as the work is published.
I would be grateful to anyone who has read my previous book 'Figs, Vines and Roses.'to leave a review. I have just the one and that is a 5 star review.

Many thanks and have a great week.

The Liberty Bodice first paragraph

As I lie on this cold, hard, wooden bunk in this Goddam place known as the Dachau concentration camp, I wonder is it the end for me?
I think I am about to die.
I look up to the roof, and through an open hole I see a glimmer of hope in the opalescent predawn light. The shards came streaking in as the sun begins to rise and glimpses through the passing clouds. Another day dawns.

My bike ride.

I have to tell you that I had a granddaughter cycling with me today. She was unused to riding on the road. In an attempt to make sure she was safe on the inside of me and before we had even set off, I went flying and fell over onto her, she tried to support me in the upright position but failed.

I now have a bruise half way up the right leg from the ankle. A massive cut on the left,and a scraped elbow and now feel thoroughly miserable. Have to say though that the glass or two of wine consumed at the B.B.Q.is helping.

My new novel.

Good afternoon,

Not long now before my new novel will be published.
It's called The Liberty Bodice and I think you may well find it an exciting read.
It has the lot; drama, war, poverty, romance and for those who are Francophiles, plenty to interest you.
I hope to have it produced as an eread as well as a paperback.

Speak again soon.
