My Dream Woman , written by C H Clepitt and Narrated by Natalie Husdan is available now as an audiobook. Blurb: When your dreams are real there’s nowhere to escape! Andi is just holding it together. Working two jobs means she doesn’t need to rely on anyone, but doesn’t have much of a life. In her dreams, however, she is a hero: battling monsters and saving innocents. When her dream woman turns out to be very real, Andi’s life begins to spiral out of control. Step into an exciting urban fantasy that will have you on the edge of your seat. Think The Book of Abisan , only sexier! Author’s Note: I loved writing My Dream Woman and was thrilled with the response it received from readers. Hearing it brought to life was absolutely amazing, and Natalie Husdan does a superb job - every single character sounds just as I imagined them. I could not be more pleased with the finished version.

It's WIPpet Wednesday... :) Brief Context This is a first snippet from my NaNoWriMo WIP, Murder at the Bingo Hall , which is all Andrea's fault...as always. ;) This actually started out as her creation.

Iris released the door and set off for the main entrance, which was the only external exit Pauline could use without giving away that she was skiving. “Oy, we’re a long way off done, you know,” ...

I realised today that I still haven't reviewed Drumbeat , which is shocking. It's been out for... [goes to look...cough] a while. OK, September 1st, it was released, and it was a while before that when I read it, because I struck lucky and got to beta-read.

They're exactly right for the series and for each story.
