Things are moving - literally!

It has been an eventful few months for this author. 

Work on Star Kin has been slow (as usual), but I'm currently editing Chapter 19, which means I'm around two-thirds of the way through my self-edit of this novel. ​

I've been busy with other aspects of my life, namely moving house and everything that entails. Luckily, we are all settled in our new little house, and I can see myself focusing more on my writing journey now things are not so up-in-the-air. ​

My beloved Labrador/Huntaway, Sam, who was the inspiration behind Astra, became unwell. He was 11 years old, and had been my companion, friend, and muse since I adopted him at 4 months old. Unfortunately, because of his failing health, I had to put him to sleep. However, he will remain in my heart, and will continue to inspire Astra and her journey in the Star Kin Chronicles series.

In other writing news, I am looking at changing the titles of the books in the Heart Stone Trilogy. I wish to do this so the titles have some continuity and can be recognized as part of the same trilogy. I also recently discovered another author has used the title "Star Kin" in a book published in 2016. I don't want to infringe on anyone else's territory, and I will keep the series and trilogy names as is.  

So, the titles I am considering for this trilogy are: 

Book 1: The Celestial Kin

Book 2: The Celestial Keeper

Book 3: The Celestial Rising.

Finally, because of issues I have had in raising/finding funds to have my books professionally edited, typeset, cover art organised and other things needed for a novel to shine, I began querying publishers who are open to new and upcoming authors. I hope that someone will take my novels on and help me with getting this trilogy available for sale. Once income arrives from the sales, I may self-publish later books in the series... or I may stay with my publisher, if we work well together. Only time will tell!
