Okay, so I am making progress. I potentially have an illustrator for my children's book. Of course, this is huge as we are publishing the book ourselves, it means that we have all of the risk and hopefully some reward. My aim is to have the book on the shelves in time for Christmas.

I never thought I would write for kids,until I decided to take a children's book writing course a few months ago. I was shocked at how much I enjoyed trawling the aisles of Barnes & Noble in the kids section doing my research.

As a child I would often put on my night light after my mother put me to bed and read until the wee hours of the morning, so I really should not be taken by surprise at the joy I felt when I had to revisit the works of Judy Blume, The Ramona series by Beverly Cleary and the Anne of Green Gables series by L.M Montgomery.

I enjoy writing fiction for adults and that was originally my only thought about writing, but now I have evolved. I realize that most writers enjoy more than one type of writing and so I am exploring the possibilities that interest me.

You never know where this may lead!
