Back, back, you eager fans! Yes, my fourth novel, Radiance is Blooming will be published on Thursday the 15th, finally and at last. I’m not the world’s fastest writer…you can tell, eh?

Bella Books have been posting on their Facebook page about it, and I’m excited to see the keen interest. Always humbling.

Nadeen and Lorna are the two main characters in this one, and very lovable despite their insecurities. I fell in love with them both as they developed on the page. It’s wonderful to see their story in print, but then I really appreciate a physical book with pages you can easily flick back and forth. Nothing quite like the real thing, but I know some happily curl up with their reader of a nighttime, or through a rainy Sunday afternoon when you’d rather forget that Monday looms.

I hope you enjoy the book as much as I enjoyed writing it. And that you fall in love with Nadeen and Lorna, too.

Rock on, team! YLW

‘Struth, there goes another year...nearly. Mid last year, I caught a jet plane to Europe and visited much loved relatives, a journey long overdue. Thereafter, it took an inordinate amount of time to conceive and gestate the gist of my next foray into writing. However,...
