Spidey’s Serene Sunday – Part 378 – Excitement

“Cherish your excitement while you have it.” 

Lucy Varna

Thank you, Spidey, for reminding me to live in this wonderful moment while it is here!

Well, unless you have been living under a rock the last couple of weeks, you will know that my big re-release is happening tomorrow.

Marriage Unarranged, my original book baby, has got her second wind and is being released by Spellbound Books as a part of my three-book deal with them.

I remember the lead up to my original release when I self-published. There was so much to do, aside from writing the words. From the cover to the formatting, the editing, finding beta readers, organising marketing and blog tours… it was busy.

This time, I am able to revel in the excitement a little more, in a different way, since a lot of the above is already done, or being dealt with by the publishers.

Okay, so there isn’t a new cover, but it is being tweaked, and I am even more excited that there is a ‘call to buy’ quote from my all-time favourite author, Amanda Prowse, being added to the front. I am thrilled by that!

Minor edits were done, but nothing to change the storyline, as they were more than happy with everything that had already been done.

And the lovely Zoe-Lee O’Farrell has arranged the book tour, so all I am doing is sitting here, making Tiktoks about the release, reposting the content and just generally getting excited!

It releases tomorrow, initially on Kindle, and I am still on my half term break, though my own children are back in school tomorrow, so once I have dropped them off, and taken my mother-in-law for a blood test, I can celebrate the rerelease in whichever way I please!

I can’t wait to receive my new copies when the paperback hits a week later, but right now, let me enjoy this!

If you have already pre-ordered, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💜🥰🤗

Obviously, I am still finishing draft one of book 2, but that can take a back seat, for the day, as I relish in my fun!

So, please join me and share my excitement, and while you’re at it, tell me something you are excited about, too, so I can be happy for you, too!

Wishing you a wonderfully peaceful Sunday, Peeps!

Tomorrow! Tomorrow! I Love Ya, Tomorrow! #BloggersBash

One more sleep to go!

“What for?”

Seriously? you didn’t know? It’s the BLOGGERS BASH tomorrow!

This is one date I anticipate with ants in my pants. It’s like I’m a child at Christmas, counting the days/sleeps until I get to see everyone again!

Last year was just amazing, with not only the chance to meet so many familiar blog faces, but to also connect and interact with new ones too!

And it was a WINNER Of A Day for me, when I carried home the Best Overall Blogger award for 2017!

I’d baked like a dervish the night before, transporting baked goodies via the train to the venue, and got there in plenty of time, and well, what can I say, it was just amazing!

This year is no different. I have been baking, carrot cakes, and this time I have attempted flapjacks – hope they are okay!

But actually, this year is a little different.

Yes, I shall be sat at the edge of my seat when awards are announced, but I was also asked to be a guest speaker this year, talking about how to time manage my blog as a busy working parent.

I have written my ‘speech’. I don’t know how I’m going to do it, I hope I don’t stand there reading off a page! And I also hope I don’t go off at a nervous speed, and finish withing 3 minutes, thereby throwing the whole day off Schedule… I’ve been given half an hour for talk and questions…EEEK!

And my Hubby Dearest will be by my side, (or the bar!) to support me this year too, which I am delighted about. Blogging has become such a huge part of my life, I want him to see just how much it means to me, and others!

Oh, and before I forget, I got my special nails done too!

Right, I need to go and pack now, so look out for a Bash related post in the next few days, letting you know all about it!!!!!

Wish me luck Peeps!!! ❤

Malteaser Surprise!

Eeeek! 3 sleeps to go until you know what!

I am driving people potty with my talking about it all the time!

I thought, since I am meeting all of you for the first time, I’d do a very Indian thing which is to bring something sweet, and what better than something sweet and bubbly, like me! ;P (And of course I promised Hugh!)

It had to be Malteasers! They have already featured on my blog as they are my favourite chocolate subject, and I even did a huge comparison and debate post comparing our Malteasers to the Stateside version, Whoppers! (Ours won, of course!)

So…

Let’s hope I don’t get peckish in advance, or on the train, and that the temperature isn’t too hot, melted Malteasers aren’t the best!

Just did a bulk buy shop in Asda. The woman at the till just stared, and I said, “Don’t ask….!”

Soooo excited!

Oh, and while I’m on the subject of the Blogger’s Bash, there are now less than 24 hours until the votes close, so if you haven’t…

Call Me A Big Kid…

… I dont care!
But I get so excited when I’m about to start something new, I like to be prepared!
So in preparation for my Return To Teach course, which I’ll be starting in 2 weeks, I went and bought new stationery! A new file, dividers, clear pockets, paper, pencils, erasable highlighters, rubber(eraser for you Americans!😜), sharpener, pens!
And you know what… I probably have it all at home anyway, what with my addiction to buying Arts, Craft and Stationary supplies!!!!
But who cares!
I’m excited! And a new start deserves some new stuff!

But I Smile Anyway...

Lil Man’s big day part one!

Well.
He is rather excited. The day has come finally for his first football (soccer) match!
The last one got cancelled as his coach rather selfishly injured his head the day previous to,the match, so hopefully this one will go as planned!
Wish him luck!

But I Smile Anyway...

My interactive peeps!
