Long time, long time!

 I can't believe that it took me this long to blog again. It's insane, but I was busy writing books. And I needed to cope with the diagnosis of my beloved doggie, Max.

In the meantime, I finished Serigala Valley book two, All or Nothing, and Emma's story, the English and Dutch versions.

I'm spending the winter months in Southern Spain, in four weeks my husband and I will travel back home again. We have to because we still need to work for our money.

Max is still doing fine, although he's getting more tired quickly. We keep the walks short, so we don't wear him out. My other doggie, Emma, is doing great, think God.

Right now, I'm working on Assassins book one, part two. Marc, Bailey, and Byron are back at the family compound to attend the wedding of the century. Marcus Blake, Senior, is about to marry socialite, Gloria McCallum. There's a reason that Marc is back, and it's not because of his father's wedding to Miss. McCallum.

The winter is almost over for us, and I'm looking forward to going home again, although I’m going to miss Spain. The people are friendly, and the food is delicious, and of course, the weather, which is always good.

I hope to finish Assassin's book one, part two before I'm leaving Spain.

That's it for now! Stay tuned for more information.

Sad sad times ahead!

 Today I really need to get a few things off my chest, which means writing things down.

A while back, my doggie got very sick, and he needed treatment, which of course, he got. However, the health problems didn't go away, so my dog got an ultrasound to determine what was wrong with him. Unfortunately, the diagnosis that I got was devastating.

It turned out that his intestines and stomach were perfectly fine. It was where the vet had expected to see issues. Thorough as she is, she examined more, like my dog's bladder and also his prostate. That's where she encountered a problem she hadn't anticipated.

Last week, my dog was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Well, let me tell you that being hit with a sledgehammer wouldn't have hurt me as much as this. The vet can't predict how many months my dog still has left. You see, when the dog already is showing symptoms (that when people see the vet). Then, the prognosis would be about three months, with a little luck.

However, the vet discovered prostate cancer by accident, and my dog doesn't even show symptoms. That's why they can't predict how much time my dog has left.

Another topic, yep, writing stories.

I'm working on several projects, right now. I started writing Assassins part two, and I'm working on a story called Murky Waters, although I don't know if I like the title. Plus, I nearly finished writing Emma's story. The only thing that prevents me from publication is the part about my dog, Max. I need time to write down the correct words, and for that, I need time to put things into perspective.

I hope to post new information about the stories that I'm working on, right this moment.

For now, stay safe!

Edit:

Oh yeah, I nearly forgot. I'm ill, the flu, and no, I'm not infected with Covid 19, just an ordinary old-fashioned flu. 

Difficult times ahead!

 I haven't done much writing the previous week, I don't know why, but my head was empty. I did, however, start a new story and already have new ideas for the story after that. Maybe my head was too full of all kinds of ideas, which could be why I didn't get anything done. Who knows? As it is, I will start this weekend continue with The Assassin and the Florist.

Also,  Emma, my doggie, has problems with her right eye again. It's the same eye that she had surgery on in December. Unfortunately, the eye is infected, and now she has even more medication to save her right eye. My greatest fear is that Emma loses her eyesight completely. I don't want her to go blind.

Well, that's it for now!

New Beginnings

 

Oh. My. God! It seems like a lifetime ago since I blogged. Well, from now on, I'll try to blog on a regular basis. Even though I was absent for a very long time, I've been busy with moving from Germany to the Netherlands, and of course, writing stories.

Even though I was absent here, on my blog, I had a very busy schedule because, in the meantime, I wrote the third part in the Grapevines & Skyscrapers Series "Weddingbells." Plus, I wrote and finished the fourth book in the Wentworth Pack Series "Children of the Gods." I'm very proud of all that I wrote, and people, keep buying my books, well, that's the icing on the cake.

It's already been more than a year since my husband and I moved back to the Netherlands, and it was a good decision. We have a small, but nice and cozy apartment, with lots of friendly neighbors. Right now I'm working on several projects like a sequel on Serigala Valley, and a new story, The Assassin and the Florist. And another new story, Murky Waters. I'm not sure if I want to keep the title though.

That's it for now! Stay safe and stay Corona-free!

Editing time!

After much delay, I finally finished Serigala Valley. The book has over 65.000 words, and still, the story isn't done. When I started Serigala Valley, I wasn't sure if there would be a part two, but that that decision was made for me, yesterday. So, there will be a second book.

Now the book needs editing, and that might take a while because it's a lot of work. It's not something that you do in one day, mind you.

Also, my office has finally been set up, so that I can retread if I need peace and quiet, like when I start editing Serigala Valley. I can't work if there's to much noise and distraction around me.
The weather is lovely, and I'm sitting on my balcony while I write this blog.

It's been about two months since my husband, and I moved back to The Netherlands and traded the large house and even bigger garden for an apartment with a nice balcony. I love the new apartment. Max and Emma felt at home from the beginning.

That's it for now.

Stay safe!

Getting there! Serigala Valley.

It's been two months since we move back from Germany to the Netherlands, and routine slowly returns. It is now that my mood is so good that writing is possible again, even though we still are organizing things.

Serigala Valley, the latest story that I'm working on, has been significantly delayed by everything, like the Corona crisis, moving and settle down in our new apartment.

Serigala Valley is now nearing its end, and it's about time, too, because I have fresh ideas for two new projects. Plus, I'm continuing to write Emma's story between writing M/M romance stories.

#Stay safe #Stay home

A sign of life!

Somehow, I couldn't get into the story.

Today I will try again to start working on Lamar and Mitchell's story. Both men are waiting eagerly to share their story with you, the readers.

Then there is, of course, the Coronavirus. What a mess! So many people have died already, and even more, are infected. This shit isn't over by far. So far, my husband and I managed to stay healthy. We are not going anywhere. The only places I'm visiting are the grocery shops.

I really hope that it's over soon. Will live, as we know it, cease to exist? I do think so. But I also believe that we will come out of it stronger. So, fingers crossed and pray for the best!

Stay healthy. Stay home as much as possible.
