End of my writing week—guests coming!

So excited for our longest and dear friends arriving soon for the weekend. Love giving up my office for these special people. Haven’t hung out with these guys for tooo long and now we get a whole weekend!!! Desk tidied, WIP saved and computer closed, bed made and decorated, chocolates sitting ready. 😀

Enjoyed my writing this week. Four days, 35000 words. Not bad at all. 😎👍 #TheBlackDolphin

November’s project!

#amplanning
So, hot off yesterday’s latest finished first draft I start the final planning stage for #TheBlackDolphin today. Writing will start next week and once again I will make myself complete it this month.
It will form book 8 in #TheHuntSeries and focuses on one particular plot line that didn’t get concluded in #TheMeltdown.
I also needed to develop a new plot line inside book 7 to get me to checkmate in this one. No spoilers!! I feel really pleased with how #TheActingPresident played out in the end and it’s definitely kept moving this engrossing series on, so I’m super expectant for what this month has in store!

The Black Dolphin is a real life prison in Russia, the worst prison there is on who is kept there. It’s been so interesting researching and dropping these practices into the books. Can he be saved? Will they help a prisoner escape from the most impenetrable prison in Russia?

Expect book books out before summer 2020!

Finished!!! 😎😎👍 The first draft of what will be my 16th full length #novel is completed. I started it this month, and took two one-week gaps in the process (not always the easiest thing to do!). This one has come in at 87,979 words though anything can happen in the edit 😳😂 The #thriller is called #TheActingPresident and works as a stand-alone but is also the long awaited book 7 in #TheHuntSeries
Editing can wait, however. I plan to complete my next book in November 🤣 Call me crazy 😜
Expect both out before summer 2020.

What a treat! Last week was a school holiday so I took a break from writing #theactingpresident to go away for two nights to this amazing treehouse with my favorite people! 🥰

So cozy especially when the outside was so wet!
Now to finish the first draft this week of my 16th novel!! 😳

Just prepared and signed another book for local delivery here in #Tallinn
My Estonia-based #novel is certainly popular here in #Eesti 😀

#writingadvice

A picture can capture so much. I hope this helps someone someday.
Today I start my latest novel. It’s my 16th so you think I’ll be used to it by now (which I am) but... • what if I’ve written my last novel already? Counter that with the truth that the more you do something the better you get at it. • yeah but what if everyone finally discovers I can’t do this? Counter that with the memory that you’ve felt this every time you’ve started each new book and readers love them all the more. • but what if I’ve lost it? It’s been a long time since I last wrote. Counter that with the fact creativity is at your core. It’s not something you have to work up, a flame that you have to protect from going out but the essence of who you were made to be. Put those fingers on the keyboard and let the magic happen! • but but... enough all ready. You can do this. You are good at doing this. In fact many are saying you are one of the best of your generation at doing this. So push those thoughts aside, stand at that desk, because this is your arena, this is your concert stage. This is where you perform. And when it’s ready, when you’ve done all you can, there will be a book to read that your fans can’t wait to have. So, #scrivener primed and ready. Tea warm. Flowers visible beyond. This is it. The writer is in the house. It’s #author time 😎

Let the #planning begin!

Mapping out my next two books which I plan to write in October and November 😎 #theactingpresident and #theblackdolphin will form books seven and eight in #thehuntseries.
Really hope these blank pages fill up massively over the next few days as I let my brain do its thing—create!! #amwriting #prep #plotting #creating #authors #writers

Time for more reading! And it’s research too 😎

Am re-reading #TheMachine as I prepare for book 7 in #thehuntseries later this year and I’ve got to say.... I’m thoroughly thoroughly enjoying the read. Seems like I do know what I’m doing. 😀This book possibly contains the greatest political speech a Russian has ever made.
Looking for a series that gets better with every book? Why not try this one.

Schools start today in Estonia 🇪🇪. My girls are back in tomorrow.
Tomorrow is also my daughter’s 14th birthday but, and trying not to get overlooked by all these events, today is also my 18th wedding anniversary to my amazing wife 😀

One last (perhaps 😛) paddle in the sea to chill on this warm start to September.
Here’s to a fantastic year ahead for all.

🇪🇪 vs 🇳🇱 My 9 year old’s first match. World Cup runners up playing, no less!

Rooting for the home nation, of course. Not sure our Dutch friends are 😀

I’m fast becoming a huge fan of these beauties 😀

Perfect background for reading research on my sunny balcony. Two new #novels are coming from me this autumn 🍂 For now, summer still very much here.
In my September newsletter I will be testing a weekly interactive story... so look out for that!

New strategy.
I’m not sure people even realize I’m the author of these books before me. When they find out they are super interested.
Should I wear a flashing hat with a downwards pointing arrow next time saying: actual #author? 😂😀 #eate #schoolvisits #eesti #meettheauthor

Day three of three in Pärnu at the #EATE event.
What I do say to passing people:

Hello, unique opportunity. (And smile, always smile). What I want to say (read: every author everywhere): Please take a closer look. You might not realize how much work went into this. You probably don’t know that purchasing off me today actually helps feed my family. You might think I’m covered but we’re not. Selling books makes a huge difference and we aren’t all giant publishers with giant lists of contacts. And these might just be the best books for sale here today. And I’ll sign them. And you’ll meet me. Yay for us. Did I say it really helps me personally?

And smile. And be polite. And keep all the above on the inside. 😂😂😀 #authorlife #nearlydone #homesoon

Lunch is done. So far, so good.
