New Year - new role. Writing-wise I’ve at last begun the first draft of my third regency romance and hope to publish in the summer. However, quite a lot of my time in the next three months will be taken up with training as a Community Library Volunteer, one of about 60 or so who will be helping keep our local library open for business from April onwards. Our local county council has to apply funding cuts to local service provision somewhere and, like a number of others, the library service is being severely cut (principally in paid staffing). Although it is great that so many of us have come forward to help share the load it is a great shame that redundancies of expert, professional librarians are being enacted across the county. Hope 2017 holds something special for you. Keep reading!
