Last weekend, we celebrated our beautiful wee granddaughter's third birthday and that was a very special day. Both sets of grandparents and Aunty Vikki joined in the fun and enjoyed the pink fairytale castle cake. The colour pink and fairy stories have suddenly ousted Thomas the Tank Engine from top place, so we're assuming girls will be girls all by themselves!
This week, my lovely daughter, Victoria (to use our name for her), has signed a contract with traditional publisher, Strident, who will publish her debut YA novel, Follow Me, in October. I'm so delighted for her as she's had some success with short fiction and deserves to be more widely read. I can't wait for this to be out at last and imagine it will be enjoyed by older teens and adults alike.
I should be emailing out the May newsletter over the weekend hopefully, so if you haven't already subscribed and would like to be added to the mailing list (which is only used for the newsletter), please drop your email address into the box on the right side of the blog.
Hope you all enjoy the bank holiday weekend. Some summer sun would be a lovely bonus!

What a lovely pink cake and what fabulous, exciting news about Vikki's publishing success and so well-deserved. You must all be so happy and proud. My daughters will be very interested in her book as they all love YA novels and are always looking out for new titles, so I shall definitely be recommending Follow Me.
Have a lovely weekend, Rosemary. We haven't had much sun so far, but still hopeful. xx
Thanks so much, Joanna! You'll understand the excitement and Vikki will be so pleased to hear your daughters might be interested in Follow Me (I love it too!). Very little sun here either but we had a good walk just the same. Enjoy your holiday Monday.
Your article give the wonderful information to the readers. I like your article.
Happy anniversary, Rosemary! We celebrated our fifth last week (so a long way behind you) as well as my husband's 50th and we are enjoying stringing out the celebrations! Congratulations to Victoria - you must both be thrilled.
Congratulations to Vikki!
I love the cake too. How clever to make the pink princessy towers!
Fun cake design, and probably very tasty too. :-)
Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary, Rosemary- we celebrated our 31st a couple of weeks ago.

Thanks, Jean - unfortunately, I didn't make the cake but did eat some!
Thanks, Carol - congratulations on yours too!
Lots of things to celebrate there, congratulations :o) The cake looks yummy!
Thanks, Karen - it was! And a little girl enjoyed it as she doesn't eat a lot of that kind of sweet thing!
Writing talent obviously runs in your family!
Thanks so much for your comment, Joanna and I hope your daughters will enjoy the book! It's all very exciting, as you'll understand with the approach of the publication of your own novel :)
