Hi BEV - thanks...and you know what my question is going to be...details of the first book? What/where to get it etc etc...
So you are another R2I person - every one in this little blog group seems to have either moved back or is planning to! :) Your sis plans to stay here or move back?
hey thanks for doing the tag.. more details on your books please :)
Done. Details about books to be written please for public consumption...where to buy, what about, etc.
Noon - my sister is very happy in California and planning to stay there, though she'd love to move back for a couple years after she has her second child, so she can raise it in a little more comfort. As for me, have been out and back a couple of times, and would love to keep doing that...I hate to be settled in one place, though it has its compensations...
As far as the books go - noon, raiaintt and Kiran - the first one is a really niche one, called Two Chalet School Girls in India. It was published in the UK, as a continuation of a famous series of books about a boarding school in Austria and Switzerland. It is still to be released in India - there is a publisher working on it, so hopefully sometime this year...
The one I'm currently trying to finish is a pure chick-lit story, about a girl in advertising and her career and boyfriend woes. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it by March-end and then start looking for a publisher. I actually had a dream in which the bulk of the story came, but it's taken me a while to get down to writing it!
raisingt - please don't take offense at my poor spelling of your name - that's my trigger-happy finger pressing enter before I have time to spellcheck!:)
There. Tag done. :)
