Baking Breaks!

Hey everyone,

Although, I have been participating in some Author Interviews, I have also completed a few more pages of Split Blood 3, however 'Debbie the Doubtful Dragon' appeared on my shoulder and made me rethink half of the pages!

I think I've been on overload for the past few weeks because I've been trying to fit my writing in with marking all my students work, getting the reports done and attending meetings.

Looking at my writing timetable, I tried to keep up with the schedule but wasn't happy with the quality, so I've decided to have a break until after Xmas and go back to it (I will still do some interviews though).

Unfortunately, I get bored very easily and had to do something so I figured I would do a little baking and after two attempts (I don’t think I could get away with the burnt on the outside and raw on the inside first attempt!), I managed to make the cake below...

It's a marble cake (plain and chocolate sponge swirled together) with a chocolate fudge centre, chocolate fudge frosting, chocolate finger walls and grated white chocolate topping!

Not a cake for the faint hearted but definitely worth a little indulgence at times! ;-)

I'm looking for some more cake ideas because its great to relieve some stress and get your mind refocused, so if you guys have any, feel free to comment below.

Happy Holidays and have a Magical Break! ;-)

Author Interview by Books n Pearls Book Blog

Hi guys,

Well I haven't updated for a while because unfortunately I have not found an agent yet therefore I still need to split my time between writing and my day job.

I have been doing author interviews, (along with trying to hash through a few more ideas for 'Split Blood 3' and hope to publish it before April 2016) and have my first one posted today on BooksnPearls.com.

I have to say a big thank you to Nicole at BooksnPearls.com for the interview and hope to work with her further in the future.

I also have to thank you for all your emails and communication through social media (especially Wattpad) and if I have not replied to you yet, please be patient because I haven't forgotten you, I'm just saving the best till last! ;-)

I also have one or two surprises to come which I hope will enhance your reading experience and allow you to delve deeper into the 'Split Blood World' so I hope your ready!

Other than trying to juggle my writing with my day job, I have been slightly distracted by some great movies that I have recently seen (loving 'Crimson Peaks' but I never doubted I would since it’s from one of my favourite directors!), baking (I have just taken up the hobby and actually love it! It really helped my writers block but did not work out well for my diet! Lol) and my friend's new kitty's (pictures to come as evidence of their cuteness!).

So that's it from me for now.

I'm hoping to get better at updating my social media and will try to update this blog at least once a week!

Stay Mythical and Happy! ;-)

LH :-)
