Glynis Smy - Author of Historical Romance/Suspense: I Tried It But Didn't Like It!

I set up this blog without comments. I thought it might look more professional (who am I kidding, I am the writer of the blog!), anyway, I couldn't take it anymore.

Every day I looked, I saw my followers (Thank You), I browsed and wrote my daily piece, but there was something missing. I saw people from around the world had dropped by on my Feedjit thingy and yet the blog didn't feel alive, it just didn't have the buzz I was looking for.

I moved my widgets, replaced them, added photographs, replaced them too, still nothing. Then it dawned on me, YOU weren't talking to me!!

I missed that feedback, the friendly banter I get at New Scribbles By Glynis Smy (my fun blog), so I have added the comments again.

The last two postings allow you to comment now...please help me bring my page to life again!

Ripper, My Love >The Blurb

Growing up in late nineteenth century East London, Kitty Harper’s life is filled with danger and death – from her mother, her beloved neighbour and the working women of the streets. With her ever-watchful father and living surrogate family though, Kitty feels protected from harm. In fact, she feels so safe that while Whitechapel cowers under the cloud of a fearsome murderer, she strikes out on her own, moving into new premises to accommodate her sewing business.

But danger is closer than she thinks. In truth, it has burrowed itself right into her heart in the form of a handsome yet troubled bachelor, threatening everything she holds dear. Will Kitty fall prey to lust – and death – herself, or can she find the strength inside to fight for her business, sanity and her future? And who is the man terrifying the streets of East London?
