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.

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.

I'm done!

I'm done with moving, that is.

Finally, after weeks of doing other things, I started working on Serigala Valley again. Last month we sold our house, and now we've moved back to the Netherlands. I fell in love with the apartment and the neighborhood right away. So, that was a good sign.

As of now, I do have the time and energy to start writing again. I have some really fresh ideas on how Mitchell's story should continue. So, today is writing-day.

Weddingbells in December (Grapevines & Skyscrapers 03)

Last year in September, I started writing Weddingbells in December. I hoped to finish the book in time for Christmas (2019). Well, my creative brain thought otherwise because I got stuck.

Raphael and Julian's story came to an abrupt halt because suddenly, I didn't know what direction the characters would go. Then, to complete the disaster, I didn't get any good ideas for the cover. So, not only the story but the cover was on hold too. That when I began to work on a brand new story, Serigala Valley.
However, the previous week I got gazillion ideas for Raphael and Julian's story. So, right now, I'm working on two books simultaneously.

I even made some progress regarding the cover for G & S book three. Hell, I also have ideas for book four, it's so weird; first there my brain seemed empty of ideas, and now it's boiling over.

So, now it's back to work!

Have a good week!

Release date Insanity! Final Cover revealed!!

Just a few more days before The Wentworth Pack 03 Insanity will be released. I'm always excited and a bit nervous right before the release.

I changed the cover because I didn't like the other one. My doubts rose the longer I thought about if this cover was the right one. Well, apparently it wasn't because I created a new one. This cover is a beauty if I say so myself.

I'm getting better with each cover that I make. Plus, it's so much fun.

Webpage, writing and cooking! :)

I walked the dogs for nearly two hours this morning because the weather is lovely, just right for some fresh air. Emma wore her turtleneck sweater because she gets sick quickly.

Right now, I'm busy updating my website. It's essential that, if you have a homepage, you ensure that it's up-to-date. Readers must trust that the information on the homepage is accurate. I maintain my own website, and it's fun.

Also, today I'm going to try a recipe for Jackfruit. I've never used it before, so I'm curious.

The Wentworth Pack 03 Insanity will be up for purchase on January 25th. The publication of a book is always exciting.

I'm working on a brand new story, and it's coming along perfectly. The cover, as you all could see, is done. I hope the book will be ready soon for pre-order.

Writing is exciting! :)

WIP Serigala Valley


Serigala Valley
I’m just a regular hairstylist, and I lead a pretty dull life. After the attempt on my life, I learned about the true identity of Serigala Valley.

It all started when I helped a Russian lady identify the ingredients on a package of dog snacks, and rescuing a boy from drowning in the pond at the park where I walk my dog. At that time, I had no idea of the impact that the Balashov Family would have on my life.

Getting involved with the Balashov Family and the beautiful Lamar Mclaughlin, a Homicide Detective, changed my life forever.

Insanity is available for pre-order!

Today the third book in the Wentworth Pack Series is available for pre-order. Well, it took me long enough to finish. Now it's time for the next story. Although I don't know what that will be about. The plan is to start a new story on Monday because I have so much to do.

My dog was sick so that put everything on hold. She is doing well again, thank God. What you must know about me is that I have two dogs, and they are everything to me. 


The next few days will be all about running errands and finish some overdue chores.
