No yawning!!

This will be a short post! It turns out those pains I had in my teeth were not brace related at all.  I somehow dislocated my jaw joint...very painful but easily done. So no yawning for me, a diet of soft food, painkillers, other drugs, rest, heat, and an instruction to relax!! Pain not bad at the moment, but it will return, so talk to you all in a couple of days!!

First filming of LAST KISS Trailer!!

We had a great day filming the trailer for LAST KISS yesterday. We still have some footage to get, but hopefully it will all come together in the end. So here is a great killer shot from the day, and also, the first box of killer lipsticks for the launch!! 

Invites will start to go out Wednesday!!!

Congrats!!

I've just heard that another one of my students from my crime writing courses has signed a book deal!! This time in their homeland of Mexico!!! I'm absolutely delighted for him!!

In the mood!!

So the mood board for Sunday's trailer filming of the LAST KISS femme fatale looks a little like this. Thanks to Colin of La Sirena restaurant in Malahide for allowing us in. We'll have fun!!

Collaborating with the reader!

Really lovely to see this feature in Books Ireland earlier in the week. It's the first outing for LAST KISS too!! Anne O'Leary finishes the article by saying 'Can't Wait' regarding novel number three, a sentiment that many have expressed over the last couple of weeks and one that certainly did my writerly heart good!!

Killer Lipstick!!

It won't be long until the launch night of LAST KISS...(12th August 6.30 Easons St Stephen's Green SC - A date for your diary!!) 

I hope to have a few surprises in store for you. The first of which will be killer lipsticks for anyone who picks up a copy of the book. The fictional killer in Last Kiss wears a particular shade, Carmine, to be precise, a purplish red.  

Anyhow, I will be wrapping these little beauties up in black fish net fabric, elegantly, or as elegantly as I can manage it, tied with a red bow. One down...a few hundred to go!!

And an equally mad friend of mine just posted this on Facebook!!

Glistening Chandeliers

It's book trailer time again...looking for glistening chandeliers in the Dublin area to film?? Help anyone??

Final, final cover of LAST KISS - front and back!!!
