Enni Tuomisalo at yummybookcovers designed the beautiful cover for my fifth in series book, Highland Christmas. Isn’t it gorgeous…? The book is due out in December, so I’d better get on with finishing it…This year, we managed to grow beef tomatoes for the first time. They may not be pretty, but they’re tasty as were the peas also harvested this month.
We ventured out to eat a few times—once for the eat out to help out initiative. This was the offering at the Riverside Courtyard in Helensburgh. Deep-fried calamari with a soy dipping sauce and tres yummy too.
This August, my dad would have been 80. My mum, sisters and I gathered together to mark the occasion with sausages (Dad’s favourite food). This is an old pic of him and my mum at a wedding, now given pride of place next to my computer upstairs. It never ceases to make me smile.Graphic illustrator Jennifer Mijatovic created beautiful pictures for me to advertise my vampire book, Beautiful Biters. It never ceases to astonish me how designers manage to get into your head and pull out the characters in there. Jen’s Instagram account is @wee_mij, where she showcases incredible line drawn pictures of her daughter..It wouldn’t be a picture round-up without the cats. William often keeps me company when I’m writing.I’m running a wee sale on Highland Fling – 99p until 5 September. Available in all e-retailers, including Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.com
Those tomatoes and the calamari look delicious Emma. Mount watering.
LOVE the cover for highland Christmas! And the pic for Beautiful Biters too – another brilliant story I enjoyed by you!
Calamari? Not so much…
Ha! I persuaded sandy (a fish hater) to try some and even he liked it…
Mouth watering
I knew what you meant! Deep-fried calamari when it’s done well is amazing… and I’ve just made some fresh tomato soup with our crop as we’ve produced more than we can eat!
