here's a quick entry, as I've been preoccupied with a few things...
On 9th January I was admitted to Torbay Hospital for a scheduled operation on my foot. All went well and I'm recovering at home. The crutches are slowing me down a bit and I have to carry my laptop around in a shoulder bag so I can seaze the opportinty to write when I get the chance. Have to be up and about by mid-february as the book signing events kick in to play... being on crutches should attract the sympathy vote though!!!
I'm utilising the down time to great affect... and I've now started writing book three in the Bradley Baker adventure series. At time of writing this blog entry, I'm about 6,000 words into the novel and hope to finish the initial draft manuscript by end of March for submission to my publishing editor by April. The book will be the third adventure in the children's series and it will be titled "Bradley Baker and the Pyramids of Blood. More on the content to follow in later blog entries...
My illustrator is also busy working on the cover of the new book and the text edits are scheduled into the diary for May/June so all being well we should see the book published by late summer/early autumn 2012.
Tour dates are also starting to build up nicely for 2012 with Waterstones stores throughout the UK being the main focus for book signing events again this year. More info at http://www.bradley-baker.com/ I will also be embarking on a number of School visits around the Bristol area of the UK, as we enter the spring term.
That's all for now, catch up soon! :)
