Lol, aw thanks Karen – and backatcha. Yes, the doubt crows can be pesky blighters. You think betting published is going to annihilate all the insecurities, but it doesn’t. Best of luck with your new release – here’s to us having matching pink Porches 🙂

Feeling the l’urve’ here Sam, but you’re doing amazing and you’re energy never lets up. I’d also agree about adding the ‘doubt crows’ – they’re such pests! Anyhow, keep up the good work because we want to see a pic of that Porche when arrive at your destination!

Oh yes I can relate to all of these. My debut is due out 17th July and I’m having trouble concentrating.
