I have posted chapter 95 of Vol 5 of Footprints on the Sea today. As always, Charlotte continus to lead a quiet life...Well, almost a quiet life.

Vol 6 before Christmas I hope and Vesta's hearth as well with luck and then I'm off to Fairyland for a holiday and a bit of instant SRS.

Now that the September competition has finished, I would like to say thank you for all the kudos. Your support is very much appreciated.

Love, Frances

I've just posted my entry in the September contest and it's about an actor/dancer who has two auditions in one day for the same part. But he does have help from a new friend...

Footsteps in the Sea Volume 5 is now available on Amazon Kindle via the links in the right hand column and I'm definately havind a Seniors Day.

After a few months of not publishing anything new and now settled, (almost) in my new palatial residence I have posted a new book on Kindle. This is a collection of 2 novellas and a short story entitled Pennies, Charcoal and Latex and is available now at the kindle EBook store the link to which is on this page, right hand side.
In the near future I will also be publishing volume five of Footprints in the Sea, probably late May or June and in the Autumn I will have Vol 5 of Vesta’s Hearth and if there’s still time, a second trilogy before Christmas.

Chapter 76 of Vol. 4 has been posted and Charlotte shows her romantic side. A non TG fiction will be up on my website and available through the Top Hat link here sometime next week, this is the second in the series of Albion's Children.

I am well into the collection of TG novellas and short stories and I'll let you know as soon as it's published and if I can I will post a few snippets on here. I may also publish this as a paperback, again, I'll let you know because how much I post here may be influenced by the paperback publisher.

In my last posted chapter of Footprints in the Sea the title is correct, it is Vol 4. Chapter 74 but a couple or so lines down in the body text I had titled it as Chapter 73.
It is now corrected and I am sorry if I have confused anybody. It is definately a new chapter so you haven't missed anything and I will be posting chapter 75 next.

Slouches off stage right mumbling something about senior moments and returns: Happy New Year again, er that's for 2017/2018.

Frances

Chapter 73 of Vol 4 is now on Top Shelf. I will try to post another after boxing day and I am also posting the second volume of Lake of the Guardian, one of my non TG novels but that will be on Amazon not TC though I understand that BC does earn a commission if it's ordered through the link on this page.

Thank you for all the support you have shown me and the help and comments I have received in the past, it is read and noted, in fact it's very important to me. Just knowing that my work is read and appreciated is my best Christmas present.

Footprints Vol 4 is up and live on Kindle and I have posted the Reprise of Vol. 3 and first chapter of Vol 4 on our new story site.

Don't forget, if we order through the link in the right hand column, Top Hat receives a small commission from Amazon.

Frances.

I was cast aside and made to wait.

Another teaser for a tale to be included in my upcoming anthology. But it may confuse the reader and cause vertigo-like symptoms, excessive lust and a fetish for experimenting with paint brushes.

My recent addition to the New Stories pages had an effect I was not expecting. I refer to 'Charcoal, Cosmetics and Champagne'. It caught me because though I knew it would be read I didn't expect to receive the reviews.

A new story on here later today

I'm having a rush of senior moments or the rest of the world is.

I am scheduled to move to my new address, (about seven miles away) tomorrow and Virgin, my internet broadband supplier phoned on Friday to tell me they can't reconnect me on Wednesday as promised. (They have problems with their cables and junction boxes, as if I care,) and will have to dig up the road so I won't be back on line for 12 to 15 weeks!

So it's goodbye Virgin and I've signed up with a company that heads the 'Which' internet provider list and they have scheduled me for 12 working days.

Who is the villain, hide all you like, I will seek and find you and when I do, you're history.

Just when I thought I could take a couple of days off, Amazon have made Footprints in the Sea, Vol.3 The Enchanted Island live.
I wasn't expecting it until Wednesday. Now I'll have to get back to Volume 4 and cancel my plans for two evenings down the pub and do a proofing of the next chapter of Volume 3 and post that.

Thank you to all the people who gave me kudos and responded to my previous blog, I will be contacting you via PM later this week.

Next week I might go south and attend Charlotte's wedding.

Bye for now,
Love,
Frances.
