Things going to plan

Since returning to work the story of Little Bear has flowed well and I am now well past 30,000 words. I am going to be getting some factual information about what it is like to live with M.S. and how the person is coping emotionally, mentally and physically with it. Although I won't be quoting her at least I will get my facts right to add to the story when I get to that bit. I still need to contact a bar school to see if I can spend some time with the students as although I know how the graduate diploma in law works as I did it I never went to bar school. I did a number of mini pupillages around the area so I can easily describe not only the sitting in court but all the background work that barristers do so I am okay with that. I am hoping that the chambers in York will allow me to visit and maybe get an idea of how they are set out etc but all those visits can wait until the spring or maybe even early summer as I won't need that information before that as I still think that this book will need to be split into 2 books as it will be too big otherwise. I am hoping to do a proper big book launch with this Little Bear book and get some media attention and drive the sales of it a lot further than my other books. I don't expect now to launch it before early September just in time to hit all the Christmas sales even if I have finished writing it well before then. I still plan on releasing Scruffy and Teddy ready for the summer holiday reading and Dizzy Izzy and the Other Fairy Kingdoms in early December. I have rather a lot of work planned for this year but I will keep you all posted
