Cardiac Risk in the Young

For a long time now, I participate in The Heart of London Bridges Walk, an event organized by CRY, which stands for Cardiac Risk in the Young.

CRY offers subsidized ECG and Echocardiogram screening to all young people between the ages of 14 & 35.

CRY organizes many events, but I only have time to walk the bridges of London. This year will be my tenth anniversary. I just registered online. I booked my plane ticket and got invited again to spend the weekend with friends who live just outside of London. I leave on Friday and return home on Sunday. And because I travel by my self, it's nice that I'll be able to spend the weekend with my friends.

Also, I started working on the story of Emma. She's a rescue from Portugal, and there's quite a story to tell about this little lady.  Plus, I worked hard on The Wentworth Pack story and hope to finish it by the end of next week. That leaves Grapevines & Skyscrapers book 02 Reunited. I will work on Emma's story in between when I have the time.

Sometimes, I want to continue with my writing, but just not on a current story. It's then that I often start writing a new one. So, that's why Emma's story is on its way.

My weekend!

Today will be all about writing. I took Max and Emma for a long walk this morning because the weather is excellent. After that, I finished my chores for this week. So, now it's time to continue with The Wentworth Pack book one.

It's so weird, but I thought that I would finish Grapevines & Skyscrapers before The Wentworth Pack. It seems that it's not going to happen. Right now I'm on a roll regarding Eric Wentworth and Jory Bradshaw's story.
It also means that I need to finish the cover for The Wentworth Pack.

The cover for Grapevines & Skyscrapers is ready and posted on my website.  I also posted a temporary book cover for The Wentworth Pack. The definite one will get posted as soon as it's ready and I'm satisfied.

I love to write all kinds of stories. It distracts me from small problems. This week, my fructose allergy reared its ugly head, once again. Fructose Malabsorption means that my intestines don't absorb fructose well. At the hospital, they told me that there is no medicine for this condition.

Well, as stubborn as I am, I search the internet and guess what? Yep, I found meds that help my body to absorb fructose. So, at least I'm able to eat supper without getting sick. I only take the meds during supper, for the rest of the day, I'm on a strict diet. Since I have Fructose Malabsorption regularly, I know what, and what not to eat. So, no problem there.

Have a great weekend!

New Cover Design

 I spent the weekend working on Grapevines & Skyscrapers 02. Plus I started designing several different covers for G & S 02. Today I continued working on the book covers. I've designed five different covers, and one was my favorite by far.

It's evening right now, and when I finish writing this blog, I will continue working on Grapevines & Skyscrapers 02. I've decided on the title of this second book in the series ** Reunited ** I think that it sounds pretty cool!

I have other obligations tomorrow and that means that I won't get much time to work on one of my books ( I'm working on two stories), but hey, a girl has to eat, right?

Have a nice evening!

Spring?? Not quite!

Ha, it's not spring, yet. Well, at least not where I live. However, today the weather was good (60 degrees). The sun is shining, and that means, going out for a nice long, walk.

The first I did was talking Max and Emma for their walk, this morning. After that, I needed more fresh air. So, I got the Innopet (buggy for my dogs) ready, put max and Emma in it and went for a long walk for nearly two hours.

When I got back home, I felt refreshed and ready to start working on Grapevines & Skyscrapers 02. I'm still not sure about the title of this one. It will come to me, eventually because it always does.

I published an expected release date for Grapevines & Skyscrapers 02 and The Wentworth Pack 01. Hopefully, I can deliver on time.

Now, it's back to writing because I have a lot of work ahead of me.

Just a typical day!

Yep, this is just a typical day. After I finished work, I went grocery shopping … on foot! The weather is beautiful, and my knee is not hurting so much right. I live in a small town, and the supermarket is within walking distance. When the weather permits and my knee doesn’t hurt, I walk to the supermarket.

I took Max and Emma for a walk to the park, and they loved it. Emma wore a winter jacket, even though the weather was good, and the sun was shining. It’s her second winter in Germany, and still, she’s not used to the cold. Well, it’s not that cold. I mean, we didn’t have a real winter for many years now. Still, the little lady has a problem with fall and winter.

So, I did everything I needed to do today, and now I have time to continue working on my book. For some reason, I started writing Grapevines & Skyscrapers book two, instead, of working on The Wentworth Pack. Well, it is what it is, right?

Earlier this week, I finished the book cover for Grapevines & Skyscrapers book two. I must say that it looks good.
