It’s been a busy old start to the year which started with a stinking cold but once that was out of the way I decided it was time to get my writing and future plans back on track which is why my blog is late! ((go on Peachy, before you go any further, tell them what you’ve done…)) you’re such a grass Brackets! Okay, so I’d written this blog and then I forgot to save it before I shut down my laptop. I know! I know!
After doing a bit of research I’ve decided to try and keep my blogs to around 300 words ((OH this should be good!)) apparently people don’t want to read long blogs! I’ve also started a YouTube channel ((I’ve opened a new support line which is open 24/7 for anyone needing help. Peachy, is there anywhere you won’t try and sell your books?!)) It’s not really about that actually, Brackets! As I’ve mentioned in previous blogs we now live on a narrowboat and friends and family keep asking to see videos and the easiest way to share is via YouTube. So, I have! There will be lots more to add and lots of ramblings and adventures. Here is the link… please subscribe (it’s free) Like etc. YouTube C.L. Peache (some of the sound isn’t brilliant on the older videos as we never intended to share them!)
((Peachy that’s 233 words and you haven’t even told them anything about your writing yet!)) Okay, so this year I’ve said I’m focusing on my psychological thriller series and to do that I need to do some research on police procedures. I’ve seen a few authors recommend this book so I asked Santa for a copy! The Crime Writer’s Casebook by Stuart Gibbon and Stephen Wade who have lots of experience so I’m hoping this information will keep the story line and events believable. My main character is a journalist, rather than a police officer but as she is investigating crimes, I need to make sure it’s right. ((320 words!)) Oh, darn it, failed on the first blog but it’s much shorter than my normal ones!
((If I carry on chatting then your word count is going to go through the roof, but would I do that to you?! You better not become a YouTube star and then stop writing your blog because that will mean you’re effectively killing me and all your blog followers will not be happy!)) I wouldn’t worry about that Brackets,although if it does happen we could turn you into a puppet so you could be on the channel. ((A PUPPET!… well, I’ve never been so insulted….)) right I’m calling it before Brackets kicks off.
Happy writing, researching and reading everyone. Until next month. x

After living in various parts of the UK, including Wakefield, York, Derby, and the Yorkshire Dales, I now live in Nottinghamshire on a Narrowboat. I enjoy reading, writing, travelling, walking, kayaking, watching all forms of motorbike racing and socialising (networking).
At the beginning of my writing journey, I started a blog which tracks the ups and downs of writing, trying to get published and self-publishing. I need to mention that my blog posts are usually visited by ‘Brackets’!
My fantasy series, Festival of Time is now complete with the publication of Book Three: Battle in November 2022 which now joins, Festival of Time: Book Two: Rescue, and Festival of Time: Book One: Escape. Click ‘books’ on my website to find out more and follow me on social media for updates - I love chatting with readers and authors.
In 2021 I signed a digital publishing contract with Saga Fiction and now have three stories published on their app and Power of Nature is my latest thriller/mystery novel to be published by Saga Fiction and is available on Kindle and Kobo. Another story is coming in 2023.
I am part of a wonderful writing group in Newark: Fosseway Writers and I have a story in The Brinwade Chronicles, which is a collection of 28 Gothic stories by 13 writers. I’ve also contributed to a Fosseway collaborate novel, Burning Old School Ties and our latest anthology, Blood, Sweat and Typewriters They are all available on Amazon. We are working on our project for 2023.
In February 2019 I was lucky enough to travel to New Zealand. During my time there I wrote a journal about our bucket list 43-day adventure. This has now been turned into a travel guide: 187 Kilometres, turn left - now available on Amazon.
A Christmas Wish, is my third self-published story, which came to life after I’d published a Game of Souls in December 2018. My short story, A night lost to the past, won third place in the Newark Book Festival 2018 writing competition, which was run by the Fosseway Writers group. This was well received, and many readers asked me to develop and expand the story. A Christmas Wish and A night lost to the past have now been reedited and have been published with Saga Fiction.
Current projects:
SagaFiction : One novel currently in editing / Short-story for an Anthology in progress.
Fosseway project 2023 : Writing about buildings in Newark - I'm planning to write about St Mary Magdalene Church.
I'm very excited to start rewriting my psychological series, which will hopefully be published in 2023!
