Blog postHello Saturday!

Today, they have printed the first of two extracts from Agricola's Bane.
I hope the readers enjoy it!

Blog postWednesday Wonders,
Today wasn't a normal Wednesday - well, in truth for me there are probably no predictable Wednesdays. Instead of tapping away at my keyboard, or continuing with my Beta Reading tasks, I spent some time being interviewed on Mearns Radio, a local internet radio station that broadcasts to a huge chunk of southern Aberdeenshire.
Technical hitches apart - when I lost telephone contact with the radio presenter, the Dundee Crime writer Wendy Jones - it -

Blog postGood Morning Monday!
I've been asked a couple of times why I chose to self- publish with Ocelot Press - a co-operative of authors - rather than just branch out as a totally self-published author on my own, after I received all my publishing rights back from my previous publisher Crooked Cat Books in 2018.
This blog post of today on the Ocelot Press Website is exactly why I'm delighted to be part of a group with such supportive and talented authors. When the opportunity ar -
Blog postSaturday Smiles!
It's a very good day for me today, 9th Feb 2019, since a NE Scotland newspaper- the Aberdeen Press and Journal - has begun a 3 part feature about my writing in it's Weekender Magazine. While I can't say what the reporter wrote is 100% entirely accurate, according to what was discussed in the telephone interview, I'm delighted with what Phillipa Gerrard has written since it's about 99%!

Blog postWednesday Woes...or is it?
On checking my calendar, I see it's been days again since I posted here. Life is full of excuses for some and I'm no different. It only takes some tiny (and not so tiny) domestic routine change to throw me off schedule.
As well as writing novels, and reading novels, one of my favourite activities - and it's not actually leisure time - is house redecoration. I actually do enjoy wielding a paintbrush and applying the paint to walls and doors etc. S -

Blog postIt's review time again of books I've recently read!
I don't often read paperback novels these days since I prefer to use my tablet for reading novels in bed. However, I've just finished a paperback non-fiction book and a paperback novel.
The non-fiction book was a very short read which I'll no doubt use again as a handy reference. It's called Domitian by Suetonius -a translation of Suetonius' work by Rise of Douai. I bought this one since I'm waiting for a copy of another non-f -
Blog postFriday News!
I'm absolutely delighted that my friend Jen Wilson has popped in today to share news of her latest addition to her Kindred Spirits Series. To date, I've enjoyed the previous books in the series which have a totally refreshing way to highlight historical figures. The entertaining novels come with a huge twist - in that we are introduced to them via the paranormal historical genre of writing. They are the ghosts the accompany you along the routes in the famous settings cho -

Blog postMondays can be a great start to the week!
The first 5 * review- in all honesty the first actual Amazon UK review- is in for Agricola's Bane.
It's taken a lot of weeks for it to appear on amazon and I'm totally delighted and hope that it means a start to the rolling of the ball....
There's a lot more to the review but the clip above is a great part to use immediately. You can read the whole review here:
My thanks, as always, to the reviewer. It -
Blog postMy reviews catch up!
I've had similar blog post titles before and mean never to need to batch up reviews again, but sometimes life gets in the way of my recording of short review comments on books I've recently read.
This little list goes back to books I read in October, November and December of 2018, with the most recently completed today! Posting short comments with no spoilers is my aim and, in truth, all I've got time for these days. I try to write about what -
Blog postGood Morning Thursday!
I've had such an intense focus lately on getting my contemporary mysteries back into availability in both ebook and paperback formats that I've almost forgotten to promote my latest novel Agricola's Bane, Book 4 of my Celtic Fervour Series.
I'm now delighted to be able to concentrate more on my historical work since the above 3 contemporary mysteries can now all be purchased from Amazon again in @OcelotPress paperbacks as of today, 17th January 2019. -

Blog postHappy late Sunday to you!
I'm now really, really hopeful that my blog hibernation is at an end and that my head is properly risen from the frozen editing and formatting state.
I've caught up with a massive list of emails, and written 2 blog posts for guest blogging to appear int he coming weeks. My task this evening is to choose x 2 extracts to be included in a Scottish national newspaper (NE) feature, the extracts to follow on consecutive Saturdays after the main author interv -
Blog postA Very Happy New Year to one and all - albeit a bit belated. May 2019 be all you wish it to be!
**I've been out blogging at Mary Anne Yarde's on Friday 4th Jan 2019 - catch that post HERE **
There was a time, not so long ago, when my new writing was a making very slow progress but this blog was very busy. Almost the opposite has been true for weeks.
Since the middle of November 2018, regular readers of this blog will have noticed that it went to rest for -

Blog postAgricola’s Bane has definitely launched and I’ve been so busy I’ve realised I've not yet updated anything here!
Nancy Jardine with Nora Radcliffe/ Garioch Heritage CentreThursday evening, 22nd Nov, was the official paperback launch but it wasn't just a regular book signing session. Since the launch week coincided with Book Week Scotland, it was possible to combine two events. I gave a PowerPoint Presentation on Roman Aberdeenshire to the members of the Garioch Heritage Centre, Inverurie, A -
Blog postIt's Tuesday,
and the launch tour for Agricola's Bane continues. Today I'm a new visitor to Ali Bacon's blog where I'm divulging some of the difficulties of researching an era that's got little written about it.

Meanwhile you can still get Books 1-3 of the Celtic Fervour Series for only 99p during this launch week for Agricola's Bane.

Blog postGood morning!
Angela WrenThis is a Sunday with a difference since I've a just had a very lovely letter pop into my box. The character who wrote it probably got my address from my good friend, Angela Wren, who was a fellow Crooked Cat Books author when I was a Crooked Cat. She still is, by the way!
Living in France, Angela knows a fair number of people from the local area. I've had the very great pleasure of being introduced to some of her local 'neighbours', -
Blog postHappy Saturday!
Today, I've spent the best part of it at a FOCUS Christmas Craft Fair in the town of Stonehaven, Aberdeenshire, where I've been selling my novels and enlightening customers about the fact that almost 2000 years ago there were around 20 to 25 thousand Ancient Roman soldiers tramping around near the town of Stonehaven.
Many customers are surprised when I tell them that there is evidence that the Ancient Romans invaded the territory around the p -
Blog post#FridayFeelings are that I'm very, very busy!
Today I'm at the blogs of Sue Barnard and Kate Braithwaite...and maybe later today, Columbkill Noonan.
If you missed them yesterday, I popped over to Cathie Dunn and Alice Castle , but you'll still be able to catch the posts by clicking the links just above.
#Agricola's Bane ebook launched yesterday, and it slowly climbs the Amazon charts - thank you to those who have already bought their c -
Blog postLaunch Day - Cheers!
The day really has arrived (15th Nov 2018) and Agricola's Bane officially hits the ebook shelves on Amazon!
I've waited so long for this to happen that it really doesn't seem all that real. Getting all the ducks in a row to get the manuscript eventually finished, then professionally edited, and then the time I took to get the formatting correct for self publishing seems to have been endless. That said both the ebook and the paperback are -
Blog postBook Week Scotland runs from the 19th to the 25th November 2018.
It has been running every year for number of years and and is a celebration of books and reading. the organisers encourage people to participate in a multitude of different kinds of events so long as they are in some way book related.
Since becoming a published author in 2012, I've tried to do a 'book event'' every year during Book Week Scotland. Some have been in front of the public but others -
Blog postHappy Tuesday to you!
Domestic duties have taken up a lot of my time today- baking a raisin and apricot loaf & shortbread; looking after my grandkids from 7 am till 5. 30 pm; out and about to a local playbarn for them to burn off some of their boundless energy - but I have also added a little to my promotional spree for the launch of Agricola's Bane.
I've just created a Facebook Event to publicise the physical launch event at the Garioch Heritage C -
Blog postMonday means 3 days to the ebook launch of Agricola's Bane!
Read on to find out how to WIN an ecopy of Agricola's Bane! I have x2 e-copies ready for some lucky winners! (Details below)
I'm really looking forward to selling lots of paperback copies of this novel locally and getting oral feedback on it, because that's what my local return customers tend to do after buying paperback copies at author presentation events, or FOCUS Craft Fairs. Those customers buying directly from me tend -
Blog post4 days to go till the launch of Agricola's Bane!
It's now a really exciting time for me, even more so because my blog launch tour is revving up now. Today you'll find me visiting my old friend Tim Taylor (Crooked Cat Books) who has kindly offered to share my launch information for Book 4.
Tim has been one of the few readers to have read all three books of the series and who has written excellent reviews on them, for which he has my unending thanks. Since Tim is al -
Blog post#FridayFeelings
They're fantastic! I've been beavering away, preparing more things for the launch of Agricola's Bane - the eBook next week on the 15th, and the local paperback launch the following week on the 22nd Nov.
I've got a fabulous Blog Tour organised with 16 lovely Bloggers helping me to spread the word. I'm about to add them to a sidebar to make it nice and easy to see where I'll be appearing during the coming weeks.
Yesterday, I emailed off 10 Pre
