Take Two

Life is good, no scratch that -Life is great. The laws of attraction and abundance are working so well in my favour at the moment:

Firstly as the school year comes to end, and with it the monthly dosh it could be a struggle during the summer, apart from my abundant belief that we are always 'loaded'. Just recently I have picked up two new private classes, both are previous students who I just happened on by chance again- but I think we all know that there's no such thing as coincidence. So that'll keep me in 'pin money'. where on earth does that expression come from? Although it does remind me that I need to get some nappy pins for the Camino just in case I want to dry my clothes on my backpack as I walk.

Writing has been flowing well this week too. Today I wrote over 1900 words before the laptop battery warning went off and I had to stop. The book is going well, and I am rushing towards another exciting ending. Do you know what it's like when you're getting to the end of agood book you're reading adn you want to rush to hte end but you don't want it to finish- well that's where I am with my writing at the moment. 

The first mock up of the cover for the book arrived from Alan this morning, and is just what I was looking for. So here goes..... (drumroll please)..... My new book is called ' TAKE TWO' and here's the first design for the cover. I've blocked out part of the story blurb as it contains some 'spoilers' that I'm not sure I want included yet, other wise you can get the idea of where we're going with it.... 

So if you haven't read WINNER yet you'd best get a move on as this will hopefully be available during the summer... watch this space....

and finally I just want to say thanks to the people that have started following me on Twitter too. When I am walking you will be the first to know where I am at and what i am doing. I intend to do brief updates on and off, with a more detailed story on the blog at the end of the day.. of course this is all connectivity permitting. TWENTY days and counting .....

PS -almost forgot to say I've even received the first part of 'Winner' in German -Thank you Michael, and thank you Thomas for helping out with the specialist terminology!

  2. Mark, it looks brilliant - I love the title - and the cover. Will you get the book finished before you leave??? I totally get the rush to finish and sadness.

    1. Thanks Beverly, During the various stages of writing there were tow or three other working titles, but this one just seemed to fit. And that's the million dollar question - will I- I hope so and think I can, but the characters just wont shut up (LOL).

  3. Just about to start reading The Winner - I might even be finished by the time Take Two is finished. Looking forward to reading about your next Camino adventure.

    1. Hi Davine- glad you got to leave a message after earlier difficulties!
      I hope you enjoy 'Winner' - it's a pretty easy read, well I think so, so finishing before Take Two is published shouldn't be a problem.
      AS for my Camino adventure I'll be putting loads on the net, but will be saving some back for another 'Camino' book, which I hope will be as well received as 'the Magic'
