Last night the final chapter plan was completed for the sequel to Rachel's Shoe! The follow-up novel promises more from the unique location of the Islands and I hope you will feel the sand between your toes and a glow in your heart as you read it. I don't wish to give too much away but will post occasionally on the progress here. It may be quite a while in coming though so I hope you will be patient with me!
In the meantime news of another project I've been involved in since last year. Whilst taking my main summer holidays, I decided to issue an invitation to writers around the world to take part in a collaborative novel project. Dozens of applications came in from people with a range of experience from novice to well published authors and literary professionals. A group of complete strangers of all ages with life experience from across our planet as far afield as Alaska to Australia, from Europe to the Far East and across the USA came forward to join in.
From over 50 applicants, a team of 20 was selected and the serious writing began in January this year after a few months of planning and preparation in 2008. We have just one year to complete our Novel!
The project is unique and the progress to date has been remarkable. There is little doubt the project process itself would make a fascinating read!

Thank you!
The stock situation now seems to be resolved so thank you for being so patient all of you who ordered from Amazon or AmazonClicks sites. Your books should finally be on the way to you. Not knowing the total number of orders, I'm hoping the initial stock will be sufficient to meet the demand. If not, replenishment should now take place within 5 days.
The quickest way to order is still through my www.RachelsShoe.com website.
Can I also please say a huge Thank You to those of you who have written the wonderful reviews on Amazon! These are really helpful in attracting new customers and giving them a good idea what kind of book Rachel's Shoe is. I even have one on the US Amazon although the book isn't showing as available on it yet!
So, many thanks - whether just a few warm words or a mini synopsis (!) all such comments are really welcome. They also give me a great feeling when I read them!
In a couple of weeks the media activity is due to commence with Newspaper, Magazine and local TV interviews. No doubt some radio as well. The reviews are great and I have interest in a possible film! I'll keep you posted on that!
Next time I will give an update on the sequel and the other big writing project I am involved in, the Worldwide Collaborative Novel.
That's all for now

HMS Victory found near the Casquetes!
The forerunner of Nelson's Flagship sank off Alderney on 4th October 1744 with a loss of 1,100 lives.
After many years of searching the sea bed, most recently using advanced technologies, the wreck of Victory has now been found by a Florida based exploration company.
This important 175 ft naval warship is lying close to the Casquetes rock where our hero Tom fled from the Germans and the famous raid took place led by 'Apple'!
No sign yet of the 100,000 gold coins said to be on board when Victory was seperated from escorting vessels during a storm. Could this be what Tom was really doing there!
