A long overdue update

This summer has been a complete washout - in more ways than one. Why is it that I always think I'll have more time to write over the summer, when it always turns out to be the complete opposite? I've had a lovely time visiting people I haven't seen for a while, but I've fallen badly behind schedule with my first draft. Ah well, I'm back to work now and getting back into my writing routine too.

I got some good news yesterday, though - I found out that I've won a copy of Pamela Hartshorne's first time-slip novel - Time's Echo. I love her Mills and Boon romances (writing as Jessica Hart) and I also love time-slips, so I'm really looking forward to reading it.

As an additional bonus, it's set in York, where I lived for nearly ten years. It's always fun to read stories set in familiar places. I can picture the action more vividly if I've seen the sights that the characters are seeing.

Of course, I also love the way that books can take you to a place you've never been before. What do you prefer - reading about new or familiar places?
