Ramblings of an Australian Writer

It's a good day today.

Firstly, I'm guest blogging at clarelondon's blog, today, talking about inspiration in photos, and I've shared some images of inspirational things, including one of Daniel Craig. Inspiration is in everything, am I right? Anyhoo, do stop by!

Secondly, I got a contract for book two of my Archangels series, No Surrender, No Retreat, which I am delighted and excited to accept, so yay!


These are jolly good things after several weeks of blah - the hot weather here has been dreadful, the heatwave has been one of the worst in years, so when the cool change finally hit on Monday morning, all of Adelaide drew a huge breath of relief. Being able to think without feeling like your brain is jelly? What a marvellous sensation!

There's been some health issues for me, above and beyond the usual (there's always something, sigh), so I am off to visit cardiologists directly and get that diagnosed properly. Interim diagnosis is SVT, which is Supraventricular Tachycardia, basically where the electrics in your heart misfire, so your heart starts beating a mile a minute. It is a very scary feeling, believe me. However, in my case, there's some concern that there's an underlying issue - not to mention a history of heart disease in my family - so it's off to the cardiologist for me. Soon, I will be on a first name basis with everyone in all the specialist units in the Royal Adelaide Hospital. My mum is also having tests at the end of February, so she will be staying here at my house for a few days, one before, the day of, and at least one day after the tests.

All of that explains why I've been less than frequent with blogging or doing the Thursday Thirteens or Six Sentence Sundays. Heat, plus health, plus worrying, do not make for a productive mindset. Today is a new day, though, a good day, so onwards and upwards!

The Archangel Chronicles.

Please note: The books are listed in reverse order, from last to first. So if you want to go from book one, scroll down to the bottom, then work your way up. :)
