HELLO TO YOU ALL

I just wanted to say thank you for the 5star reviews given to my latest novella ‘Times pendulum swings again.’by Joy M. Lilley

It is a hospital romance containing  elements of passion, love, hate and deceit, when our protagonist falls in love unknowingly with a married man.

There are many twists and turns, but eventually and twenty years later ends happily.

The book can be found on Amazon and has an IBSN  B01N7HHY8L

I would love to hear any constructive comments you may have.

Best wishes to one and all,

Joy

The book signing

I have accomplished the first one.

It was at a friends house for a brunch. The day was cold and the guests were dressed for an indoor do. Numbers prohibited that so outside we sat and shivered. The attentive hosts gave out coats, blankets etc.

The occasion was to raise money for abandoned dogs and puppies. I took along my novella ‘Times pendulum swings again.’ by Joy M. Lilley, signed copies and raised a grand £65 for the cause.

A good time was had by all and we look forward to the next gathering  IN THE SUMMER to be entitled TEA AT THE GLITZ.

Bye for now.

I want to share with you my thoughts and feelings at an unexpected seriously bad review received by a fellow RRBC reviewer. I say unexpected as this book my first novel had received so many four and five star reviews in the past. My initial reaction was one of shock and horror, how could anyone be so mean. It was my first attempt at a novel and although the person reviewing felt the work had not received any editing, in fact it had. Feeling wounded and hurt I jotted off a couple of angry emails to Senior RRBC personnel extolling my angst and disappointment. The responses were tough and to the point,however they made me stop and re- think the situation. Wise advise has led me to have my next novel re-evaluated to ensure that past errors on my part are not repeated.
