I'm only three chapters from the end of The Undivided! Yay.

In the meantime, I did an interview recently for Plains FM Radio where they asked me about the whys and wherefores about setting up Reynox House.

The first link is a podcast. The second will allow you to download the mp3 so you can listen to my dulcet tones over and over and over...  hehehe

I'm going to be posting on the Reynox House blog a fair bit, so I'll put the link up here when I do.

In the meantime, I'll post some photos of Oxford that Sonny Whitelaw sent me. Partly because they're pretty, and partly because I'm trying to make you all green with envy... hehehe

Driving out of town...

Ok... now the reason for my distraction and erratic postings of late.

I am moving. To New Zealand. Had to wait until the the settlement on the property went through before I could officially announce it.

Welcome to the Reynox House International Writers' Retreat.

Yup... along with sheep, I've bought the most fabulous old property in Oxford (45 mins from Christchurch). Built in 1916, it was originally a boarding house and after many other incarnations, has been totally renovated from the ground up and is about to become the best place on Earth (or Middle Earth) for writers.

We (me and my girls) are going to run writers' retreats there several  times a year.

There is even more amazing news to come about who will be involved in the retreats, and the opportunities for writers, but there is much to do, so you'll have to bear with me for a while.

First job is to get over there. International moving with 5 animals and 69 cartons of books is no fun! That's scheduled to take place in early February. Then we have to get set up, finalise the suprise guests and get this baby rolling.

Oh... and somewhere along the way, I have to deliver The Undivided. Oh well...

The Reynox House very basic, draft website is here with a rough outline of the first retreat scheduled for late next year.

Start saving... you could soon be on a writing sojourn to Middle Earth:)
